A Y Mcdonald Aym-72010 1/2x10 Frost Free Sillcock

Product Description

The A Y McDonald aym-72010 1/2x10 is a brass anti-siphon frost free sillcock designed for residential and light commercial exterior water service. The push-to-connect inlet simplifies copper or PEX connections without soldering, while the male hose thread (MHT) outlet accepts standard garden hose fittings. The 10-inch stem length keeps the valve seat inside the heated envelope of the building, preventing standing water in the body from freezing during cold weather. The integrated anti-siphon backflow protection guards against contaminated water being drawn back into the potable supply.

This sillcock is suited for exterior wall installation in residential construction, manufactured housing, and light commercial buildings where freeze protection and backflow prevention are required together in a single fitting. A licensed plumber typically handles new rough-in work, while replacement installs on existing stub-outs are common service calls. The push-to-connect inlet connection reduces labor time on copper or PEX supply lines. The MHT outlet is compatible with standard garden hose equipment and irrigation fittings.

Key Features

• 10-inch stem keeps valve seat inside building envelope for freeze protection
• Push-to-connect inlet eliminates soldering for faster, flame-free installation
• Male hose thread (MHT) outlet fits standard garden hose connections
• Integrated anti-siphon device provides built-in backflow prevention
• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance in potable water service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation frost free sillcock for residential and light commercial exterior plumbing applications requiring a 1/2-inch push-to-connect supply connection and MHT outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the main water supply and relieve line pressure before removing an existing sillcock or making new connections. The push-to-connect fitting requires that the supply tube be cut cleanly and squared before insertion. Slope the sillcock body slightly downward toward the exterior to ensure the stem drains fully when the valve is closed.
