spigot

One of my Woodford 17 outside spigots was leaking from the top. Ordered a replacement anti-siphon kit. When I went to remove the old one it was totally gunked with mineral deposits. Used vinegar and backing soda and a toothbrush and it loosened up enough to use channel locks to get it started...

Hey there, I have two garden hoses that I’ve never had trouble connecting at any home I’ve moved them to…until now. This house we now occupy has a spigot which is too large. I can’t seem to find an adapter online, so I’m wondering what to do. Can someone here help? Thanks. Photos hopefully do...

Hi all, normally to “winterize” the outdoor faucet I just make sure the faucet knob is in the off position and then I disconnect and pack up the garden hose. I then put one of those insulated faucet covers on. We just recently replaced our heating /water system and so I decided to “winterize”...

I need to identify this sillcock. Trying to repair. No real identifying marks

Replacing an outside leaky faucet. Problem is the piping coming off the house is ~7/8inch (I tried both half inch and 1 inch just to try). They do not sell outside faucet in a 7/8inch so I started looking for an adapter but really having no luck on that front. Could someone link an adapter or...

Hi, all: Long story short, I got a split frost-free spigot pipe and I am interested in a DIY job to replace it. At first, I attempted to thread it off with medium-level force but didn't succeed. I searched online and figured out the type of spigot should be the Arrowhead 486 with 1/2" MIP and...

Hi, I'm by no means a pro and have limited experience with plumbing, but I'm game to try simple things myself. I have some outdoor water barrels (250 l each) that collect rain water from my shed and house. I used plastic spigots with rubber seals on the inside and outside of the barrels. They...

Hello. I recently bought a house that has an outdoor spigot that I am having difficulty connecting my garden hose to. The spigot has a 1.16" opening and I can't find a reducer to connect my 3/8" garden hose to it. I have attached an image in this post. My house is in the Dallas region built in...

I have a second story deck and a hose bib located at the walkout basement level. I wanted to add a line that extends vertically to the deck. I found a few fittings that will connect the wye on the spigot. I was going to use cpvc to run the line and insert a valve at the bottom that i could...

Hello all, I'm looking to add a garden valve/spigot/hose bib whatever you want to call it to a irrigation main line that is 1 inch Sch 40 PVC. I'm going to T it, put a reducer to 3/4 inch since this is the brass garden valve sizes I'm finding. Im familiar with the PVC to copper transition...
