The Woodford Y34 repair kit is designed to maintain and restore the functionality of Woodford Model Y34 frost-free wall hydrants. Here’s a detailed description of what you can typically find in a Woodford Y34 repair kit:

1. Components:

   • Packing Nut: The packing nut secures the hydrant stem and prevents water leakage.
   • Packing Material: The repair kit includes new packing material (usually rubber or graphite) that goes around the stem to create a watertight seal.
   • O-Rings: O-rings are small circular seals made of rubber or silicone. They prevent leaks at specific points in the hydrant assembly.
   • Seat Washer: The seat washer sits at the bottom of the hydrant head and provides a seal when the hydrant is closed.
   • Stem Washer: The stem washer is placed on the hydrant stem and helps prevent water from leaking around the stem.
   • Screw and Washer: Some repair kits include replacement screws and washers for securing components.
   • Other Seals and Gaskets: Depending on the specific model, the repair kit may contain additional seals, gaskets, or washers.

2. Function:

   • When your Woodford outdoor faucet (Y34 hydrant) starts leaking or becomes difficult to operate, the repair kit allows you to replace worn-out or damaged components.
   • By replacing the packing material, O-rings, seat washer, and other parts, you can restore proper functionality to the hydrant.

3. Installation:

   • Turn off the water supply to the hydrant.
   • Disassemble the hydrant by removing the packing nut and stem.
   • Replace the old packing material, O-rings, seat washer, and other components with the new ones from the repair kit.
   • Reassemble the hydrant, ensuring proper alignment and tightness.
   • Turn the water supply back on and test the hydrant for leaks.

4. Compatibility:
