Product Details

The 1/2 in. x 3/4 in. x 12 in. SharkBite Push-to-Connect Frost-Free Anti Siphon Sillcock is the easiest way to install a new or replace an existing Sillcock. The Frost-Free Anti Siphon is perfect for protection against freeze and burst pipes and protects the faucet from any potential back pressure and contaminated water flowing back into the main line. Integrated SharkBite fitting makes installation fast and easy, with no soldering, clamps, unions or glue required. Just push the pipe onto the fitting and the stainless-steel teeth bite down and grip tight, while a specially formulated O-ring compresses to create a perfect seal.

Q:Can this unit be installed in and inground PVC water line, i.e. exterior water spigot from an underground connection?
by|Jan 30, 2023
2 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  You will need to convert the PVC to a Sharkbite compatible pipe with an inner and outer diameter matching the push-to-connect specifications (PEX, copper, etc). Additionally, I’m not sure if your installation is horizontal or vertical from your question. Do note that this silcock must be installed horizontally with a 5° down pitch to ensure that the frost-proof design will function as intended.

    A:  Hi, The SharkBite 1/2 in. Push-to-Connect x 3/4 in. MHT x 8 in. Brass Anti-Siphon Frost Free Sillcock is not compatible with PVC pipe. It is compatible with the following pipes. PEX (ASTM F876, CSA B137.5), Copper (ASTM B 88), CPVC (ASTM D 2846, CSA B137.6), PE-RT (ASTM F 2769), HDPE (SDR-9 ASTM D2737). We do make a PVC transition fitting that would connect to your PVC pipe on one end of the fitting and on the other end of the fitting you could connect the Sillcock. I've attached a link to the fitting. If you would like help choosing the correct parts for your application or if you have any more questions you can call tech support at 877-700-4242.

        Answer This Question

        A:  Hi, The SharkBite 1/2 in. Push-to-Connect x 3/4 in. MHT x 8 in. Brass Anti-Siphon Frost Free Sillcock Valve has a 1/2" connection that will connect to the following pipes. PEX, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe. The 3/4" connection is MHT thread. This is for connecting your water hose. If you have any more questions you can call tech support at 877-700-4242. (Kind regards,)

        by|Jun 27, 2022

          A:  The connection is only half inch pipe the three-quarter inch is MHT which is male hose thread. You can only connect half inch copper, pex, or for CPVC to the waterline connection.

            Q:can this pipe be installed straight or at a downward angle?
            by|May 15, 2022
            3 Answers
            Answer This Question

            A:  Must be on downward angle to help water drain out when it is turned off. Since the seal is approximately the length of the spigot any water left will drain out of the spout. This is primarily important during freezing weather. 

            by|May 16, 2022

              A:  Hi, The SharkBite 1/2 in. Push-to-Connect x 3/4 in. MHT x 12 in. Brass Anti-Siphon Frost Free Sillcock Valve needs to be installed with a 5 degree pitch or downward angle. If you have anymore questions you can call tech support at 877-700-4242. (Kind regards,)

              by|Jun 26, 2022

                A:  I installed it straight onto the existing pipe. Easy and no leaks.

                  This was my only choice at my local Home Depot and while it was easy to install it is not a great faucet. I have the Moen version of this on another location on my home and I prefer that faucet to this one. With the shark bite it was very easy to install but hooking a hose to it is a pain because the spigot is too short making it hard to get your hand in there to twist the hose on, I only had to install this once, I will have to hook a hose to it hundreds of times. The handle looks cool and has Pretty Dolphins on it providing a positive grip but you have to rotate it several times to open the faucet unlike my Moen that requires just one rotation. If you want a freeze proof faucet wait for them to improve this one or get the Moen. This might sound like the complaining of a grumpy old man, but honestly if the spigot was an inch longer and it turned on with even just two full turns I would have given it 5 stars and recommended it. It really was super easy to install.

                  Great replacement sillcock for my home and it was very easy to install.
                  My old anti-siphon sillcock broke and I chose a SharkBite as the replacement. I went with the 10 inch as the sillcock needed to go through brick facade and cinderblock. There was no need to solder pipes, I just coupled the sillcock to the original copper line with a piece of PEX to fill a gap in pipe. As long as a pipe end is clean, you just push them into the end of the sillcock and a strong rubber washer inside makes a watertight seal. The sillcock also comes with a handy gasket of sorts to help ensure you have the proper 5 degree slope in the sillcock (so it drains of water when winterized). (see picture) This sillcock is a multi-turn valve and it takes about 8 turns turns to fully turn the water on/off. This sillcock can be removed from the pipe or tubing and reinstalled elsewhere or if you make a mistake and need to remove/reinstall it. This sillcock comes with a anti-siphon/vaccum valve in the rare event dirty water from a hose or puddle could be siphoned back into your house. The valve washer for sillcock is also far down in the sillcock, just near where you connect pipe to it. Since this portion of the sillcock is usually within you house or wall, it is less likely to freeze. This valve will not protect you from frozen/broken pipes in the event you leave the hose, full of water, and attached to the sillcock. I have used SharkBite fittings throughout accessible areas of my house and no leaks over the last several years.

                  Excellent product
                  I've been a DIY plumber my whole life and PEX with Sharkbite have changed that from a chore into a pleasure. Sharkbite products are excellent. My only gripe with this product is the shim to keep the inclination. My side (like most, I guess) is sloped "the other way" forcing the sillcock to slope UP rather than DOWN as it MUST to be correctly installed. The provided shim was insufficient to provide adequate slope, so I had to build my own as you can see in the picture. And I will need to paint them because they are ugly. Time and effort wasted that could have been solved by providing two or three shims in the package and a couple of lines in the instructions, at a cost of probably less than $1. Even with that, there is no comparison with soldering. PS: even if it's easy as building a lego figurine, this is still plumbing and it will need to hold water under serious pressure. Most people claiming failure, probably did not cut the PEX correctly, or did not deburr or did not push deep enough or did not open the water slowly for a proper test first.

                    SharkBite fan for life!
                    After getting a quote from a plumber to replace 2 leaky hose bibs ($300-400 parts and labor), I did my own research and came across SharkBite which I had heard about before. I watched a couple videos and thought there was no way it could be THAT simple, but I went ahead and bought the SharkBite parts that I needed to give it a shot. Let me say that it was truly as simple as it looked. It took me under an hour start to finish and that included installing a new vinyl siding mounting block for a nice finish. I did get a little lucky because when I cut the copper pipe inside it was the perfect distance to attach the new 12" sillcock so I didn't need any additional connections. I will try to do this on my next on as well. So, I replaced one bib for under $40 total, not including the vinyl mounting plate which was optional. I can't say enough about the SharkBite products and how much money they can save over calling a plumber, if you are willing to do it yourself. My only wish is that the handle was not the ugly blue color. Black or red would be better.

                      serious manufacture defects
                      I recently add this SharkBite valve to my log cabin, I was not pleased when I turned on the water supply. The faucet valve was closed, yet water was running right out of it. After disassembly, I discovered an o-ring jammed on the wrong side of the valve seat, a trashed spring, a very bent o-ring seat, cut up rubber washer, mangled o-ring retainer. I have many more pictures, but HomeDepot win’t allow me to post more than one. :(

                        This is, by far, the easiest sillcock replacement I've ever done. Tired of waiting for all the water in the house lines to drain, then hoping none was there when gluing or soldering in the pipes? No need to worry with this unit. Our house had no valves on any of the 4 bathroom and 2 kitchen cold water lines which would have meant waiting for quite some time for all the water to drain had I been gluing or soldering. With these Sharkbite units, you don't need the lines totally dry. Just cut, bevel and insert. Done. No waiting for glue to dry. No hoping your solder job wasn't ruined by a trace of water. I've used several Sharbite products, and, so far, they have all installed leak-free and continue to function leak-free. It took less than 30 minutes from start to finish on this project, replacing a sillcock that had frozen shut with lime over the years. As one would expect on a potable water line, my pipe was CPVC. Worked perfectly with the unit. Unlike my older failed unit, this unit has a built in plastic wedge (see picture) that ensure that the downward angle coming out of the house is set properly. The anti-siphon feature is pretty standard on these units these days and expected on a unit at this price point.. The length is good, putting the valve seat well inside the house insulation on our typical end joist installation (see picture) On the non-functional side, this unit is pretty cool as well, with stylish blue handle formed by 2 jumping sharks (see picture). Very cool. All in all, this unit is well worth the cost. The reliability and ease of installation make this the perfect sillcock for any DIY'er. I highly recommend it.
