24628LF Frost Free Sillcock, 1/2 X 3/4 In., Brass, 125 PSI
Description
The SharkBite 24628LF Frost Free Sillcock is a brass hose bibb designed to protect outdoor water lines from freezing damage and prevent contaminated water from flowing back into your home's main water supply. This anti-siphon sillcock combines durable construction with innovative push-to-connect technology, making it an ideal solution for reliable outdoor water access year-round.
Freezing conditions can damage traditional sillcocks and create health hazards through backflow contamination. This frost-free design solves both problems with an integrated shut-off valve positioned at the inlet that allows you to drain water from the line before winter arrives, protecting the valve from freeze damage. The integrated vacuum breaker prevents back-siphonage, ensuring your main water supply stays safe from contamination.
