LDR Industries 020 6103 Brass, 1/2-Inch IPS Sillcock 3/4-Inch

Very happy with this little hose bib. I'm not handy at all, but watched a few youtube videos and figured this might be something I could tackle myself. Our old hose had fused to the hose bib and even soaking it in vinegar had no effect, so I knew it was only a matter of time until we had a disaster on our hands. Using just a wrench, I was able to remove the old hose bib and attach this one. Don't forget to order your plumbers' tape before checking out. Just 3 wraps of that, and the bib didn't leak and I didn't even have to attach it super tightly which allowed me to position it correctly with ease. It works great now. This bib has a female attachment on the wall side and a male attachment on the hose side.

Great price and it works really good!

After install cutoff action felt mushy; replaced cutoff washer with harder neoprene washer (see pic); now cutoff is solid;I would have liked the hose side to have more thread similar to the one I replaced. It was leaking after about 25 years of use; but I must say this sillcock does the job and no leaks so far.Installation requires removing the old one --about 10 minutes total; turn the water OFF! and drain the pipe you're working on -- make sure you use two wrenches -- one to hold the water nipple coming from the house and the other to turn the old sillcock so that the house side water supply is not damaged as you remove the old sillcock. There are some youtube videos showing the basics; I used teflon tape to seal the nipple threads prior to twisting the new sillcock

It is functional but seems to be cheaply made. Not the same quality as the spigot that it replaced. It arrived quickly and is working as expected.

The is a rugged, easy to install outdoor faucet.

Nice it just wasn’t the right thing for my faucet

GOOD PRICE

I bought 2 of these at the same time to replace my aging sillcock on the front and back of house. At first I was happy with the look, the color and the performance. But after only a few months, the handle became "spongey" and difficult to shut off. As of today, one them will not shut off, even after using some very big wrenches to tighten the handle literally as far as it will physically turn without breaking off and the water coming out of it is still substantial. It's 11pm on a Sunday and there is nothing I can do. It's probably going to leak 10 gallons of water overnight before I can get to the hardware store in the morning and do an emergency replacement. The other sillcock hasn't failed so badly at least I can shut off the valve completely with extreme force, but the very fact that 2 identical units are failing in the same way tells me everything I need to know. Never again.
