It combines a long stem to keep the shutoff inside heated wall space, an anti-siphon port to stop water from being drawn back into the supply, and a standard garden-hose outlet for quick hose attachment. Constructed from chrome-plated, lead-free brass, the valve is intended for potable water use and straightforward threaded installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the frost-free design protect pipes in winter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8\" stem places the shutoff valve inside the warmer space of your wall, so water drains from the external spout and the risk of freezing at the shutoff is reduced.
