Frost Free Sill Cock Wall Hydrant With Anti Syphon In areas that experience cold winters the lawn service faucets in your home can be a problem. In order to avoid frozen waterlines that can burst and cause extensive damage one must go to the basement to turn off the shut off valves to all the exterior faucets. Sometimes they are accessible, other times they are not. Sometimes you can find them, sometimes it can be a chore just trying to locate the proper shut off valves. In addition to the foregoing and the biggest problem is homeowners tend to completely forget to do this until it is too late. This device will eliminate the need for shut off valves in your basement. The frost proof sill cock assures no-freeze operation because the valve mechanism shuts off water inside the building, where it is heated. If the building itself will be unheated for any length of time, then all water lines should be drained and plumbing fixtures winterized. In addition to protection from freezing, the anti-siphon protects against possible outside water being siphoned back into the water supply system. Lawn service faucets with vacuum breaker are mandatory according to the Plumbing Code in new installations in many areas of the country.
