Hi all. I need to replace my outside spigot stem valve assembly. Here is the picture of my faucet. I don’t have the name of the faucet so I don’t know what valve to purchase. When I measured the overall length of the stem valve, it was 14 and 7/8 long. There doesn’t seem to be a stem in that size.... either 13 and 7/8 or 15 and 7/8. Can anyone help?

Unless you can find the exact replacement for that, you need to open the wall behind and replace it from there. That is what I do 99% of the time.
Every brand is different, and even within the brand, they have changed over the years with different lengths and parts.

Thanks for your reply. I would do that normally but apparently the plumber who installed that soldered the end of it instead of just using the nut to connect to the pipe. So I wanted to find a way to replace the stem without resoldering the pipe. How much would something like that cost to replace if I had a plumber install a new one?

The copper pipe is readily accessible from the basement? I don't have a number for you, but plumbers are really good at cutting copper and soldering new copper in place.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
