Eastman 12-Inch Frost-Free Sillcock Outdoor Spigot, Blue — 1/2" MIP x 1/2" Sweat, Brass, Vacuum Breaker

The Eastman 12-inch frost-free sillcock is a heavy-duty brass outdoor spigot with a 1/2" MIP x 1/2" sweat connection, a vacuum breaker and a notched flange for easy siding installation.

This frost-free sillcock from Eastman is built for exterior water access where freezing temperatures are a concern. At 12 inches long and finished in blue, the sillcock locates the valve mechanism inside the heated wall cavity to reduce freeze risk. Constructed from heavy-duty brass, it includes a large wheel handle for easy operation, a vacuum breaker to prevent backflow, and a notched flange that stabilizes the fitting on siding during installation. UPC- and CSA-certified, it can be used for both new installs and replacements of existing sillcocks.

How does this sillcock reduce freeze-related damage?

The sillcock’s 12-inch stem places the valve seat deeper inside the wall so water drains away from the exterior tip when shut off, reducing the chance of freezing. The brass body resists corrosion, and the design helps ensure water doesn’t remain in the exposed section after use.

• 12" frost-free stem locates valve inside heated cavity
• Heavy-duty brass minimizes corrosion and wear
• Vacuum breaker prevents backflow and potential contamination

What connections and measurements will I need to install it?

How user-friendly is the Eastman sillcock on installation and operation?
