WOODFORD GRAPHITE PACKING - PART #10101

Genuine Woodford replacement stem packing for IOWA series freezeless yard hydrants. Long-life graphite packing rings provide lubricity and sealing around the operating rod where it enters the head casting -- the most common service item on a leaking yard hydrant.

  • Manufacturer Part Number: 10101
  • Fits Woodford Model Y34, Y1, and X34 IOWA freezeless yard hydrants
  • Graphite composition for self-lubrication and long service life
  • Reduces wear on operating rod, packing nut, and stem during normal hydrant cycling
  • Included in Woodford Head Repair Kits RK-Y34, RK-Y1, and RK-X34

Use Tip: When water seeps from around the stem with the hydrant closed, replace the packing along with the packing nut (10100) and packing support washer (10102). Install with the operating rod still in place to keep the packing aligned, then snug the packing nut just enough to stop the leak.

Service Note: Packing replacement is done from the top of the hydrant without excavating the bury pipe. Shut off the supply at the main before removing the head assembly.
