Do they make a potable hot cold hose bib?

[Kail]

I am looking to buy a couple of non-freezing hot cold mixing valve hose spigots. All the ones I have found on line so far say they are not for potable water systems and they contain lead. Does anyone out there know of any that will work for a potable system. We will probably use this to water the garden and maybe even drink from. I'm looking for a 6" model.

Not sure if anyone makes one rated for potable water. This one doesn't say it isn't, but you'd have to call them to verify suitability. Moen used to make one that I think would have worked, but it's now discontinued.

Problem is, once you add hot water, it's often questionable to call it potable...should be on cold only, though, like your kitchen faucet. Only the manufacturer can really answer this. Let us know.

It's the Moen Hot and Cold One Handle Frostfree Outdoor Faucet, if it is indeed discontinued, you'll need to hit the surplus markets online.

Thanks. Why do you think it was discontinued? Did they have problems with it?

I think a quick phone call to Moen customer service would be best to answer that, as none of us here are Moen staff?

I called arrowhead and they said they changed production about a year ago and their new model does not contain lead. The new model's part number will en with "LF" and the old lead conataining part number will end with "BCLD." Unfortunately it appears that most websites don't list the whole part number. So if you find a place to buy one lead free please let me know.

for a bunch of lead-free Hot & Cold Anti-Siphon Hydrant (490BFP Series) -part numbers to seek based on how long you want, and more factors.
