Matco-norca 209010 Frostproof Sillcock 1/2 in 10 in Stem

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA 209010 is a frostproof sillcock designed for exterior hose-bib installations where freeze protection is required. The extended 10-inch stem keeps the shutoff point well inside the thermal envelope of the building, draining residual water from the spout when the valve is closed and reducing the risk of freeze damage during cold weather. The 1/2-inch inlet connects to standard residential and light commercial supply lines. Plumbers install this valve in new construction and retrofit applications where outdoor water access is needed year-round.

This sillcock is suited for residential and light commercial exterior walls, including framed, masonry, and insulated wall assemblies where a longer stem is required to reach the interior pipe supply. The 10-inch stem length accommodates thicker wall constructions. It is a direct-replacement option for worn or leaking exterior hose bibs and is a common specification in cold-climate new construction plumbing.

Key Features

• 10-inch stem length positions the shutoff point inside the building for freeze protection
• 1/2-inch inlet fits standard residential water supply lines
• Frostproof design drains the barrel automatically when valve is closed
• Suitable for new construction and retrofit exterior hose-bib replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial exterior frostproof sillcock applications requiring a 1/2-inch inlet and 10-inch stem length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) requirements for exterior hose-bib connections. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing the existing valve. The sillcock must be pitched slightly downward toward the exterior to ensure complete drainage of the barrel when the valve is closed. Do not install with a vacuum breaker downstream if a backflow preventer is not required by local code, as this can trap water in the stem and defeat the frostproof function.
