Diverter assembly for S3 & S4 Hydrants

The Woodford Diverter Assembly for S3 & S4 Hydrants is a replacement part designed for Woodford Sanitary Hydrants. Here are some key features:

• It’s a complete assembly that screws out.
• The assembly is spring-loaded to relieve pressure and allow the Woodford Sanitary hydrant to drain down.
• The diverter assembly is equipped with a diverter spout, which allows the hydrant to be operated independently from the backflow preventer.
• When the hydrant is to be used with a hose, the diverter sleeve is pulled down during flow and water is automatically diverted to the backflow preventer hose connection.
• The diverter will work with or without a hose attached to the backflow preventer and will automatically release any time the hydrant is shut off.
• This diverter fits Woodford Sanitary Hydrants.

Please note that this assembly is a direct replacement manufactured by Woodford.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does water leak from the diverter while the hydrant is on and the diverter is pulled down.
A: This is usually caused by a damaged O-ring inside of the diverter. It could also be that the O-ring has slipped out of the groove. If the O-ring is has slipped out of the groove you can remove the diverter, and re place the diverter into the groove with a set of needle nose pliers. If the O-ring is damaged you would have to replace the diverter.

Q: Why will my hydrant not flow water through the backflow preventer when the hydrant is on.
A: This issue can occur if the diverter is not pulled down. If the diverter is pulled down, and there is still no water it is possible that the diverter is either clogged, or damaged. You can remove the diverter to clear any obstructions, and to inspect it. If there are not obstructions the diverter is most likely damaged, and needs to be replaced.
