Plumb Shop Div Brasscraft 223-842 Round Sillcock Handle

Product Description

The PLUMB SHOP DIV BRASSCRAFT 223-842 is a round sillcock handle with a red metal finish, designed to replace worn or damaged handles on outdoor hose bib and sillcock valves. The handle is built for 12-point broach splined stems, which are the standard drive profile found on a wide range of residential sillcock valve bodies. At approximately 0.07 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight replacement part. Plumbers and service techs reach for this handle during routine faucet repairs, freeze damage restoration, and exterior valve maintenance. The red finish provides a clear visual indicator distinguishing the outdoor shutoff from interior supply valves.

This handle is suited for residential exterior plumbing applications where sillcock or hose bib valves require a handle replacement. It fits most sillcock valve stems using a 12-point broach splined connection, making it a practical stock item for plumbers servicing a variety of residential properties. Typical install scenarios include spring-season exterior faucet inspection, post-freeze valve repair, and general faucet handle replacement on standard residential hose bibs.
