There are two types used on outdoor hosebibbs/sillcocks/faucets. Most frostproof sillcocks have an atmospheric vacuum breaker and an integrated mechanical check back flow preventer. Screw-on hose thread vacuum breakers approved by ASSE 1011 utilize both an atmospheric vacuum breaker and a...

Can you attach a couple images of your sillcock to help identify the brand?

Looks like an old Mansfield unit to me. Mansfield’s sillcock business was acquired by Prier: https://www.prier.com/

Hey Dave, can you attach a photo of the body of the sillcock showing some markings, or the handle which may have a disc showing some identifying lettering?

There are a couple reasons. Residential outdoor faucets (sillcocks) are designed for basic home irrigation, lawn watering, car washing etc. They are not intended to be used as a source for potable water. Lead-free brass is extremely hard and difficult to machine vs. standard brass. That is...

Contact Prier. That’s one of their old C-134 freezeless hydrants. You can get a complete stem w/seat washer, packing, etc. www.prier.com

Keep in mind the Woodford Model 25 has an internal mechanism that allows the hydrant to drain after shutoff even if the hose is left attached and coiled above the outlet. Once the hydrant is closed, the water drains out those little holes you see under the plastic ring around the packing nut...

The brand name is Quarter Ball. We have several on-line distributors: Grainger, SupplyHouse, Complete Plumbing Source, Plumbing Supply, Amazon. I will paste the links below. Regarding lead-free, these are non-potable items intended for lawn irrigation and other similar tasks. Therefore they...

Great question Michael. The Quarter Ball ball valve frostproof sillcock utilizes a ball valve to turn the water on and off. It offers traditional frostproof protection with the modern reliability and convenience of a ball valve. The attached picture might help explain.

That is a ceramic disc cartridge 1/4 turn fp sillcock from B&K/Mueller. You could try contacting them for repair parts. If that doesn't work, we suggest replacing the unit with a ball valve cartridge 1/4 turn unit from Quarter Ball. You can find them at...

All of these posts contain elements of accuracy. When water is flowing out of the sillcock, the spring-loaded end of the stem compresses and seals the hollow stem. In a back flow situation, the spring-loaded end of the stem releases and seals off any water flowing back into the supply line -...

That's whats left of a hose bibb that has an integral vacuum breaker/backflow preventer attached to it. The section with the hose threads has been removed. Best bet is to simply replace the entire hose bibb. Shutting down the water for 10 minutes will be much simpler than trying to track down...

I think Smooky has the best idea

That's a generic frostproof sillcock that would have been sold under a variety of names. If you loosen the packing nut (image w/arrow attached) the entire stem assembly will back out. Just turn it counterclockwise until it releases and you can putt it out. Then you can see any damaged washer...
