I have a sillcock that is leaking. looked up the manufacture
(Nibco), they provided a listing of all outdated sillcocks that they

Its a frost proof version that has the working valve ~12" back in
the house, but it looks like it leaking around the hand-wheel.

Can find a repair kit and just replace some gaskets or do I need to
replace the whole unit.Â* If I do need a full replacement, the
basement has a finished w/drywall ceiling.Â* Do I need to cut a whole
in the ceiling to get to the connection ?Â* or can the whole unit be
changed from the outside ?

You can see the historical document he

Scroll down the version w/Tulip handle.

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.


I'd replace it with a ball valve sillcock.


Then it's no longer freeze proof.


Exactly my thought.
