WHK 12" Frost-Free Outdoor Faucet — Lead-Free Brass Hot/Cold Spigot, Chrome Finish

This heavy-duty outdoor spigot from WHK is built for year-round exterior plumbing: a 12-inch frost-free design keeps the valve mechanism inside the warm zone of the wall, the body is forged from lead-free brass with a chrome finish, and standard threads let you attach common pipe fittings and garden hoses. The unit accepts 1/2" NPT inlet connections and features a 3/4" GHT outlet for standard U.S. garden hoses, making it suitable for yards, patios, RV hookups, and seasonal outdoor tasks.

How does the frost-free length prevent freezing in winter?

The 12" stem locates the valve seat further inside the building envelope so water drains away from the exterior opening when shut off. This reduces the chance of water trapped in the frost-exposed section, lowering freeze risk without extra insulation.

• 12-inch stem positions valve inside warmer wall cavity
• Shut-off design allows residual water to drain from the exterior portion
• Suitable for horizontal installation on exterior walls

What fittings and hose connections does this WHK spigot use?

WHK engineered the faucet to match common U.S. plumbing standards: the inlet uses 1/2" male NPT (MIP) threads for connection to supply pipe or adapters, while the outlet uses a 3/4" male garden hose thread for direct hose attachment. These threads let you connect typical outdoor plumbing without special adapters in many installations.

• 1/2" male NPT inlet fits 1/2" female NPT pipe or fittings
• 3/4" male GHT outlet connects standard garden hoses directly
• Works with common hose washers and quick-connect accessories

Is the faucet durable enough for long-term outdoor use?

The WHK faucet is constructed from lead-free brass with a chrome-plated exterior and a full-turn metal handle for reliable operation. The materials resist corrosion and mechanical wear, giving a robust fixture for residential outdoor plumbing under normal operating conditions.

• Lead-free brass body for structural strength and safety
• Chrome finish adds corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
• Full-turn metal handle provides positive on/off control

What are the working pressure and temperature limits?

The spigot is rated for typical domestic water pressures and a broad temperature range suitable for hot and cold service. Always verify local plumbing codes and the specific application's temperature and pressure demands before installation.

• Working/max pressure: up to 125 psi
• Normal operating temperature: 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C)
• Maximum permitted temperature: up to 180°F (82°C)

Who is this for: Homeowners, contractors, and DIYers seeking a straightforward, durable exterior water outlet that handles hot and cold service. Ideal when you need a freeze-resistant sillcock that connects to standard 1/2" supply lines and 3/4" garden hoses, and for exterior walls where horizontal installation is available. Each purchase includes one WHK 12" frost-free outdoor faucet ready for installation.
