Arrowhead

Buying Guide: Hose Bibbs, Hydrants and Valves

Hose Bibbs, Sillcocks and Hydrants
Arrowhead makes standard hose bibbs, no-kink hose bibbs, sillcock valves, and wall and frost-proof hydrants. Many models use an O-ring bonnet and stem design, and some handles come in green oval or tee styles. Freeze-proof hydrants suit outdoor spigots where freezing is a concern.

Boiler Drains, Valves and Vacuum Breakers
The brand also offers boiler drains, washing machine valves, garden valves with nested threads, a stop valve, an evaporative cooler valve and vacuum breakers. Read the use notes on each vacuum breaker, since some are not for frost-proof hydrants or outside use in freezing climates. Have a qualified technician install boiler and pressure-system parts.

Handles and Repair Parts
Stem assemblies are offered in 12 in. and 14 in. lengths for hot and cold faucets. Handles include an aluminum wheel handle, a T-handle for no-kink hose bibbs, an oval brass valve handle and a loose key handle, and a plastic sillcock repair kit is also available. Match the part number or size on your old part before ordering.
