Hello,
I wanted to ask a question about an easy turn hose bib. I need To replace one that is easy to turn, which is currently 1/2' threaded.It is a Dahl ( smaller quarter turn) I have always found that the large quarter turn handle was easy to turn, however I remember reading somewhere that it might not be very durable. ( preferential American-made)

Are there durable American-made One quarter turn large handle Products that can do this job? if this is not possible can you think of other two handleddesigns?

Thanks

Are you needing a Frost Free hose bibb that is mounted in the wall?

This Prier Wall Hydrant is nice and US manufactured.

Or this Arrowhead Brass Boiler drain is also US manufactured
If I replace like for like in terms of configuration, is not a frost free. wouldn't something like

ARROWHEAD BRASS & PLUMBING 253BVLF​

be better? also is a side question, is most of the stuff made offshore ( from other reputable brands)?

Better is a relative term. But if the longer handle is what you're looking for in a quarter turn valve, then the answer would likely be Yes. That valve didn't pop up in my search. Arrowhead Brass 253BVLF

Any manufacturer who makes their product in the US will definitely let you know.
