Giant Outdoor Spigot???

[BroughtB]

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 some good.

Arrowhead brass I think they are part of Champion must be a proprietary adapter or vacuum breaker that went on contact them

There is a proprietary adapter screwed onto that hose bib. Unscrew it with some channel locks and throw it in the trash. Then screw your hose onto the standard hose threads.

A part is missing. Someone put on a vacuum breaker and the lower part got lost. It's safest if you just buy a new vacuum breaker, but you can just remove that part leftover. Newer hose bibs tend to have a vacuum breaker built in.

You might need their PK 1390BCLD

I am not sure that is an adapter, but it may well be. If that is the case, there is likely a set screw in the side that may have been broken off on purpose. You drill that out before unscrewing the adapter.

on second look its obvious now to me that the vacuum breaker half of it is on and half is missing. as reach4 noted you should be able to see where the self destructing set screw was and drill it out and you could run with out the vac breaker but not recommended because it isn't legal. if you don't drill out the set screw it can damage the hosebib forcing replacement of entire frost free sill cock.
