Hey so I bought a house in december, and I'm wondering why my frost free faucets on the outside have no water coming out, I have turned the valve on in the inside, and also took a faucet apart to see if it was ok, looks good. Turned the water on when I had the faucet out and a few dribbles of water came out, then nothing. Could it be water pressure or a clog, I'm confused at this point, the inside is all pix piping except where the shut off valve is on the inside which is copper.

You are sure that everything came out when you removed the stem? Did you try turning the water on at the inside shut-off while you had the stem removed from the frost-free spigot? That would prove how well the water is making it to that point. If the interior piping is all accessible, I would also make sure there is not another valve inside.

So those frost free spigots have a copper cartridge in them. You need to make sure that whole thing is out. Then go open the faucet valve inside the house. If you get no water coming out then you either have to open another valve or there is a blockage somewhere. I doubt it's blocked if it's copper. Maybe galvanized steel could be. Keep us informed what happens. I am curious.
