So I am super confused and I'm looking for a bit of help.

We have one existing hose bib on our house and it is located on the side of the house which is inconvenient as we typically connect the hose for providing water to either front or rear of the property. As such and because we are getting ready to redo all of the stucco on the house, I want to install new frost-free bibs on the house where it makes sense to locate them.

The existing valve is a globe type (I believe) and we can adjust it to throttle the correct amount of flow to the sprinkler. When looking at the frost-free types, most are either quarter or half-turn and sound like they use ball valves which as most know, are not designed for throttling.

Perhaps I am using the wrong search terms/text. Could someone recommend a FF valve (preferably with anti-siphon) that can be used to throttle the flow?

Thanks in advance!
Jimmy
