Sharkbite/cash Acme 24629LF Frost Free Sillcock 10 Inch

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 24629LF is a 10-inch frost-free sillcock designed for residential and light commercial exterior wall installations. It features a push-to-connect inlet sized at 1/2 inch, compatible with copper, PEX, CPVC, and PE-RT pipe types, eliminating the need for soldering or crimping at the inlet connection. The outlet is a 3/4 inch male hose thread for standard garden hose attachment. The body is forged for structural durability, and the multi-turn shutoff valve is positioned at the inlet end of the sillcock tube, a configuration that helps drain the barrel after shutoff and reduce freeze risk in cold climates. Certifications include NSF 372 and NSF/ANSI 61, confirming compliance with lead-free and drinking water safety standards.

This sillcock is suited for through-wall installation in exterior residential or commercial applications where freeze protection is required. The 10-inch barrel length accommodates typical exterior wall depths. The integrated mounting flange secures the unit to the mounting surface during installation. An integrated air-gap backflow prevention system provides protection against back-siphonage, making this unit appropriate for installations where local codes require anti-siphon protection at hose bibbs. Licensed plumbers install this fitting in new construction and retrofit applications.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect 1/2 inch inlet accepts copper, PEX, CPVC, and PE-RT pipe without soldering or crimping tools

• Multi-turn shutoff valve at the inlet allows controlled water flow regulation and barrel drainage
• 3/4 inch male hose thread outlet for standard garden hose compatibility
• Integrated air-gap backflow prevention guards against back-siphonage
• NSF 372 and NSF/ANSI 61 certified for lead-free compliance and drinking water contact safety
• Forged body construction and integrated mounting flange for a secure, durable wall installation

Compatibility

The 1/2 inch push-to-connect inlet is compatible with copper, PEX, CPVC, and PE-RT pipe. The 3/4 inch male hose thread outlet is compatible with standard garden hose fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any connections. The push-to-connect inlet requires that pipe ends be cut cleanly, deburred, and fully inserted to the depth mark before pressurizing. Verify that the barrel slopes slightly toward the exterior to allow full drainage when the valve is closed, and seal the wall penetration around the mounting flange to prevent air and moisture infiltration.
