WHK 12" Frost-Free Outdoor Faucet - Lead-Free Brass, Chrome Finish, 1/2" NPT to 3/4" GHT

The WHK 12-inch frost-free outdoor faucet is a durable, lead-free brass spigot designed to deliver hot and cold water outside while resisting freeze damage when installed correctly.

Built for outdoor use where freezing temperatures are a concern, this 12" sillcock combines a long frost-break design with a chrome finish, full-turn metal handle, and standard US garden-hose compatibility. It’s constructed from lead-free brass for corrosion resistance and longevity, and it connects to common pipe and hose fittings so you can replace or upgrade an exterior water outlet quickly.

How does this frost-free design reduce freeze risk?

The extended 12-inch body positions the shutoff point farther inside the wall so water does not sit in the exposed section of the spout. That frost-break distance helps prevent ice formation at the external outlet when properly installed and insulated within the wall cavity. It’s important to install horizontally and follow recommended wall insulation practices for best results.

• 12" length creates a deeper in-wall shutoff point
• Lead-free brass resists cracking from cold cycles
• Chrome finish adds a corrosion-resistant exterior layer
• Horizontal installation ensures the frost-free mechanism works as intended

What plumbing connections and sizes does the spigot use?

The spigot is configured to join typical US plumbing and garden hose fittings. The inlet (rear) thread is 1/2" male NPT/MIP to mate with standard 1/2" female pipe fittings, while the outlet (hose) thread is 3/4" male garden-hose-thread for direct connection to common hoses and accessories. That combination makes the fixture versatile for both hot and cold exterior water use.

• Rear inlet: 1/2" male pipe thread (NPT/MIP)
• Middle/outlet: 3/4" male garden hose thread (GHT)
• Works with standard 1/2" pipe fittings and American garden hoses
• Sold as a single 12" sillcock unit for simple replacement

What are the material, pressure, and temperature limits?

The WHK sillcock is machined from lead-free brass and finished in chrome for durability outdoors. It’s rated for common residential pressures and temperatures so it can handle both warm and cold water lines. Avoid exceeding the maximums to maintain seal integrity and long-term performance.

• Body: lead-free brass with chrome finish
• Working pressure up to 125 psi
• Recommended operating temperature range: 32°F to 140°F (0°C–60°C)
• Maximum water temperature: 180°F (82°C)

How simple is installation and everyday use?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic plumbing: mount through an exterior wall and connect the 1/2" female pipe to the inlet, then attach your hose to the 3/4" outlet. The full-turn metal handle allows quick on/off control, and the chrome exterior cleans easily for low maintenance. Remember this sillcock is intended for horizontal installation only.

• Fits standard 1/2" NPT female pipe fittings for inlet hookup
• Attaches to standard 3/4" garden hoses at the outlet
• Full-turn metal handle for reliable shutoff and flow control
• Install horizontally on an exterior wall; shipped as one unit
