Replacing a Sillcock hydrant: outside

[vdotmatrix]

All these fancy words!

I have a Watts ng8? it has a brass ring you slide up during the winter to prevent freezing. It also has this anti backvacuum valve thingy, and it is a Ball type valve. The new fancy shwanky outside hose faucet the (*%*$&^ plumber installed 2 years ago. The simple screw type we had lasted 15 years. the valve stem on this unit has sheared off.

Can anyone please point me to an on-line source for parts or for the whole she-bang.

I will de-sweat and re-install what ever new fixtures i can find.

thanks

Actually it might be easier to install a sillcock and a stop and waste inside the basement. If you go that route orientate the valve drain downward so you can put a small can under the drain. Then just once a year - close the stop & waste, open the drain and open the sillcock. In the spring close the sillcock, close the drain and open the stop & waste.
