Woodford 74509 Seat

Genuine Woodford 74509 rubber seat for the end of the Woodford model 12 stem.

The Woodford 74509 Seat is a crucial component used in outdoor faucets and hydrants. Let’s explore its details:

• Function: The seat provides a sealing surface for the faucet’s valve. When the faucet is closed, the seat ensures a watertight connection, preventing leaks.

• Design: The Woodford 74509 seat is typically made of durable material (such as brass or stainless steel). It is shaped to match the valve’s design and provides a smooth, flat surface for the valve to rest against.

• Installation: The seat is positioned inside the faucet body, where it mates with the valve stem. When the faucet handle is turned off, the valve presses against the seat, creating a seal.

• Maintenance: Regular inspection is essential to check for wear, pitting, or damage to the seat. If it becomes worn or corroded, replacement is necessary to maintain proper functionality.
