Common Questions

Will it work in my wall thickness?

Wall thickness does not apply here. This is a standard sillcock: it threads or solders onto the pipe stub at the wall face rather than reaching through the wall, so the only fit question is the inlet connection. If you need the shutoff to sit inside a heated wall, use a frost-proof wall hydrant instead.

Is it freeze-proof, and will it drain itself?

No. This is a standard sillcock -- the valve is right at the wall face and water stands in it, so it will freeze and split in an unheated wall. In a freezing climate either shut it off at an interior stop and drain it every fall, or install a frost-proof wall hydrant.

Does it have a built-in vacuum breaker (anti-siphon)?

No, this model has no vacuum breaker. Where the code requires backflow protection on a hose connection, plan on an add-on breaker at the outlet, or choose a model with an integral vacuum breaker.

Do I need a key to operate it?

No key. It opens with a tee handle that stays on the valve, so anyone can turn it on by hand. If you want it tamper resistant instead, look at the key-operated HY series.
