Spigotmaster Woodford Hose Bibb Adapter SPGTM-9 1-1/8" Straight-Through Connector Replaces 34HA/50HA

The Spigotmaster SPGTM-9 is a precision-machined replacement adapter that converts Woodford spigots with 34HA/50HA vacuum breakers into a standard, straight-through garden hose connection.

Outdoor vacuum breakers on yard spigots often fail, corrode, or leak—especially with hard water, irrigation timers, or continuously active hose connections. The SPGTM-9 replaces the external 34HA and 50HA vacuum breaker on compatible Woodford models with a straight-through connector, restoring a usable hose thread without the persistent dripping or broken set screws that make many repairs impractical.

Which Woodford spigots does the SPGTM-9 fit?

The SPGTM-9 is engineered to directly replace Woodford vacuum breaker parts 34HA and 50HA and fits a long list of Woodford sillcocks and wall hydrants. Check the model list against your spigot before purchasing to ensure the correct thread size and compatibility.

• Direct replacement for Woodford 34HA, 34HA-CR, 50HA, 50HA-CR vacuum breakers
• Compatible Woodford models include: 25, 27, C22, B22, 30, 65–68 (including R/RB variants)
• Thread diameter: 1-1/8" (1.125") — match your spigot's outer thread measurement

How do I install the SPGTM-9 on my outdoor spigot?

Installation is straightforward for anyone with two adjustable wrenches: one to steady the spigot and one to remove the old vacuum breaker. After removing the broken or corroded vacuum breaker, thread the Spigotmaster adapter onto the spigot and hand-tighten, then finish with a wrench to seat it snugly—no specialty tools required.

• Support the spigot with one wrench and turn the vacuum breaker with the other
• Measure outer thread diameter to confirm 1-1/8" fit before install
• Thread SPGTM-9 by hand, then tighten gently with a wrench to avoid over-torquing

What performance improvements should I expect?

Replacing a failing external vacuum breaker with the SPGTM-9 eliminates the leaking and dripping common to aged or corroded assemblies and restores a normal garden hose connection for timers, sprinklers, or continuous water use. Because the adapter is precision machined in the USA, it provides a tight, reliable seal and durable threads that resist premature wear.

• Stops common leaks from failed vacuum breaker housings or corroded set screws
• Provides a straight-through garden hose connection for irrigation and hoses
• Precision machined tolerances for consistent sealing and long service life

Will the SPGTM-9 affect backflow protection or code compliance?

The SPGTM-9 replaces the external vacuum breaker with a straight-through hose connection and does not function as a backflow preventer. If your installation requires specific backflow protection to meet local plumbing or irrigation codes, consult a plumbing professional or your local authority before removing the vacuum breaker.

• Not a substitute for certified backflow prevention devices
• Use when a standard hose connection is the intended outcome, not code-mandated backflow protection
• Contact a plumber or local building department for code-related guidance

Who is this for: The SPGTM-9 is ideal for homeowners, landscapers, and maintenance technicians who own Woodford spigots listed above and need a dependable way to stop leaks while converting special-threaded spigots to a regular garden hose connection. It’s especially useful when the original vacuum breaker is corroded, has a broken set screw, or interferes with irrigation timers and permanent hose hookups.
