spigot leaking
I have this brand spigot that I will need a kit for, if one is available. Can anyone identify this for me? It is leaking in three places: at the handle, the spout, and the big bolt that fastens the handle to the fixture,

That spigot is probably not threaded. It might be, but even so, it's probably tight enough that you won't be able to unscrew it. To replace it, you'll need to turn off the water and either have someone hold the pipe inside while you unscrew the outside. Or more likely, cut the pipe in the crawlspace and replace completely.

As Zorfdt says, if it is threaded on have someone on the inside hold it. I made the mistake one time of just trying to unscrew a real tight one myself from the outside using a lot of muscle (well a lot for me). I twisted the copper pipe inside into a pretzel.
