Inlet Sizes Available
Before installing make certain that the sillcock connector (inlet) size
matches existing water supply lines, and that through-the-wall length is
adequate.

How to Install
1. Bore a hole through the foundation wall or the floor joist band according to inlet diameter and insert the sillcock from the
outside.
2. Position the sillcock so that the outside spout is pointed down. To check spout position from inside the building, notice that
when the mark (TOP) on the inside connection (inlet) points up, the outside spout is down (see illustration below).
3. Slip the plastic bevel wedge between flange sillcock and the wall by inserting the thin part first (see illustration below) to form
the downward angle, so water will drain properly. Draining is necessary for frost-proof performance.
4. If the inside connection (inlet) is to be sweated (soldered), remove stem before applying heat.
5. Secure sillcock flange with two #8 or #10 wood screws or with appropriate masonry hardware.

IMPORTANT – TO ASSURE DRAINAGE:
Turn sillcock handle to closed position and detach hose from spout during freezing weather. If hose is left attached, the frost-
proof sillcock cannot drain properly and trapped water may freeze and damage sillcock.
The frost-proof sillcock assures no freeze operation because the valve mechanism shuts off water inside the building, where it
is heated. If building will be unheated for any length of time, then all water lines should be drained and plumbing fixtures
winterized.
NOTE: The packing nut, located behind the handle, has been factory adjusted. If leakage should occur after installation or use,
the packing nut can be tightened to stop the leak (see illustration above).
