I agree with XSleeper. I would replace the entire faucet if you cannot verify the manufacturer and model number of your spigot. Just because yours looks like one at HD doesn't mean the parts are interchangeable. Just getting a new one could save you some headache.
Appreciated your input guys. Already got the 6" Arrowhead from HD, both have the same length. Haven't installed it yet as weather is nuts in N. Dallas right now.
However, i was wanting to repair the old unit for future emergency use or something, for reasonable. Thus my interest.
I'm big on rebuilding but I've found the most common problem is the threads that are cast into the fitting strip. So when you replace the piece that turns.... it just spins too.
Quick question - Is this EFIELD Sillcock code compliant, seeing that it doesn't have an anti siphon? If not, will adding a connection vacuum breaker bring it up to code?
Hi all.
It seems my septic system is on it's way out. It's over 60 years old so I can't complain. I've got over 200' to the road with about a 25' rise.
A friend of my wife says she's had to replace her grinder pump twice in six years. I'd like to avoid that.
What brands would you recommend? I'm not looking for a Rolls Royce, just a workhorse.
Thanks.
Evening all....I just replaced the drain lines to a double bowl kitchen sink and disposal. Water backs up into the sinks. I checked all pipes and they seem to be pitched properly. Additionally, I snaked the waste line going into the floor of the cabinet and no obstructions. I plumbed just one sink to see if it still happened and it did, so it seems like the water is not getting above the p trap and backing up. ANy thoughts on how I can fix this?
If it helps for me to add a picture of the drain lines let me know.
Thanks Bud
