Hi all, I need some information to help my son with a leaking silcock.
Silcock: 1/4 turn, manufacturer unknown. Only clue is logo on handle. See picture.
Sympton: In off position, silcock was leaking at a slow "stream". Much more than a dribble or drops.
I pulled the valve out and found the split seal. See picture. I don't know if I damage this seal in removal or if this was the original problem. I'm looking for a replacement kit to refurbish.
Does anyone recognize this brand or where to get a refurb kit? Local Home Depot and 3 plumbers I've called did not.
Would this split seal be the cause of the leak described above, or is there likely a leak in the 1/4 turn mechanism? The O rings on the end appear to be good so I'm thinking they were not the original leak problem.
Are there generic seals available that would likely work if brand refurb kit not available?
This silcock is soldered on so this may be beyond my skill level to replace.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Cheers,
Roger
Oh: we're located in Lake Zurich, a Chicago suburb in case of a location specific recommendation

It may be a Legend hose frostfree faucet. Can you post a picture of the handle?
