Arrowhead Brass AHD353LK Loose Key No-kink Hose Bibb 3/4in Fip

Product Description

The ARROWHEAD BRASS PLUMBING AHD353LK is a loose key, no-kink hose bibb with a 3/4-inch female iron pipe (FIP) inlet connection. This outdoor faucet is designed to control water flow at hose bib outlets on residential and light commercial buildings. The loose key design means the handle key is removable, preventing unauthorized use of the hose connection. The no-kink geometry at the spout outlet reduces hose wear and helps maintain full flow. Plumbers and general contractors install this fitting during rough-in or as a direct replacement for failed exterior hose bibbs.

The AHD353LK is suited for exterior wall-mount installations on residential homes, multi-family buildings, and light commercial properties. It threads directly onto a 3/4-inch FIP supply line, making it compatible with standard copper, CPVC, or galvanized rough-in supply piping. This hose bibb is a practical choice wherever access control to an outdoor water source is required, such as irrigation connections, utility wash-down stations, or general hose supply points.

Key Features

• Loose key design prevents unauthorized hose connection use
• No-kink spout geometry reduces hose stress at the outlet
• 3/4-inch FIP inlet threads onto standard supply piping
• Compact hose bibb form factor suited for exterior wall mounting
• Arrowhead Brass construction consistent with NSF and lead-free plumbing standards typical of this product category

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation hose bibb for standard 3/4-inch FIP exterior water supply connections on residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Shut off the building water supply and depressurize the line before threading in the bibb. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe-joint compound to the male threads of the supply line before making up the FIP connection. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC requirements for exterior faucet installation and backflow prevention where mandated.
