      A:  Your sill cock is bound up with mineral deposits and or the rubbet washers have failed, it needs to be replaced. A larger handle will allow more torque to be applied and create more problems. Mike

        Answer This Question

        A:  Yes, most faucets like this eventually leak at the packing washer. Turn off water supply. Usually remove handle, packing nut (reverse thread), then remove insert by "opening" faucet. Go to local h/w and take the washer and stem assy with you to make sure you get a new washer that fits tight !

          Q:Is this faucet drinking water safe? How can I tell if an outdoor faucet is drinking water safe?
          by|Jul 2, 2015
          1 Answer
          Answer This Question

          A:  Per the manufacturer's website, models with a -LF on the end of the number are lead free. Since this does not have the -LF, it likely has lead and would not be drinking water safe. http://www.prier.com/images/stories/documents/updated%20specs/478LF-H.pdf
