Midland Industries 942151LF Frost-free Sillcock 1/2 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 942151LF is a low-pressure, frost-free sillcock designed to provide reliable outdoor water supply while protecting against freeze damage in cold climates. The valve body is cast brass with a rubber seat, brass rod stem, and NBR packing, delivering durable corrosion resistance in typical residential and light commercial plumbing applications. At 8 inches in length, the extended stem positions the shutoff point inside the conditioned wall cavity, keeping the water line away from freezing temperatures when the valve is closed. The unit is fully lead-free, meeting current drinking water compliance requirements. A single aluminum handle operator provides straightforward on/off control. This sillcock is installed by licensed plumbers and general contractors.

The 942151LF is suited for exterior wall installations in residential and light commercial buildings where outdoor hose bib access is required. The 1/2 inch nominal MIP x solder connection accommodates standard copper supply lines soldered at the inlet and threaded pipe at the wall fitting. The garden hose thread outlet accepts standard 3/4 inch garden hose couplings. This fitting is a practical replacement or new-construction choice wherever a frost-free, lead-free sillcock is required by local plumbing code.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the main water supply and relieve line pressure before soldering or threading any connections. The sillcock must be installed with a slight downward pitch toward the exterior to allow full drainage when the valve is closed, which is essential for frost protection to function correctly. Do not apply open flame near combustible wall materials during soldering without appropriate heat shielding.
