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(Nibco), they provided a listing of all outdated sillcocks that

some images he https://ibb.co/PwL8LCN

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You can see the historical document he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.

That has 2 seals, a rubber packing #6 and an o-ring #25.

So why replace it if you can easily fix it.

If he can easily fix it, he wouldn't be in here asking what to do. Ball
valve sillcocks have less internal parts that will deteriorate. They are
superior to the gate valve.
