Please read this manual thoroughly before beginning installation or operation to ensure proper function and longevity of the product. Retain this manual for future reference.
Safety Information
- Always turn off the main water supply before attempting any installation or maintenance.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves, during installation.
- Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
- If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified plumber.
Setup and Installation
The Woodford Model 19CP-4 is designed for wall-mount installation. Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and freeze protection.
Tools and Materials Required:
- Adjustable wrench
- Pipe thread sealant or Teflon tape
- Drill (if creating a new mounting hole)
- Mounting hardware (screws, anchors)
- Copper tubing cutter and soldering equipment (for CP inlet connection)
Installation Steps:
- Prepare Mounting Location: Select a suitable exterior wall location. Ensure there is adequate space for the faucet body and access to the interior water supply line.
- Create Wall Opening: If necessary, drill a hole through the exterior wall large enough to accommodate the faucet's inlet pipe. The faucet is designed for a 4-inch wall thickness.
- Insert Faucet: Insert the faucet's inlet pipe through the wall opening from the exterior. Ensure the faucet body sits flush against the exterior wall.
- Secure Faucet: Use appropriate mounting hardware to securely fasten the faucet to the exterior wall.
- Connect Water Supply (CP Inlet): From the interior, connect the existing water supply line to the faucet's CP inlet. This typically involves soldering a copper pipe connection. Ensure a watertight seal.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure water flows freely.

Operating Instructions
The Woodford Model 19CP-4 Wall Faucet is designed for simple operation.
- To Turn On: Rotate the brown powder-coated handle counter-clockwise until water flows from the 3/4" male hose thread nozzle.
- To Turn Off: Rotate the handle clockwise until the water flow stops completely. Ensure the handle is snug to prevent drips.
- Hose Connection: Attach a standard garden hose to the 3/4" male hose thread nozzle. Hand-tighten the connection to prevent leaks.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and proper function of your Woodford faucet.
- Winterization: As a freeze-resistant faucet, the Model 19 is designed to prevent freezing when installed correctly. However, it is recommended to disconnect any hoses from the nozzle before freezing temperatures occur. This allows the faucet to drain completely.
- Packing Maintenance: The faucet uses EPDM packing to prevent leaks. If a leak occurs around the stem, the packing may need adjustment or replacement. Consult a plumber if you are unfamiliar with this procedure.
- Seat Washer: The faucet features a standard "O" size seat washer. If the faucet drips from the nozzle when closed, the seat washer may need replacement.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the faucet with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder-coated finish.
Troubleshooting
