@deansusky i have the same problem.. the water on mine comes out the top cap.. can i remove that cap i wonder? hmmm

What if the center screw is completely frozen? I can't get it to turn without the whole handle turning.

Thanks for posting this - have a blown-out frostfree, was wondering how it worked, since it only leaked when it was turned on, even with a huge rupture in the copper. Your video explained it very well, thanks!

When outside frostfree faucets are leaking from where you attach the hose;the only reason for this is the washer is not pushing up tight enough against the seat to stop the water completely. The white nut is a packing nut that compresses the gland (he calls the washer) and that gland prevents water from coming out of the end of the faucet where the handle is located when the water is turned on. If your faucet won't shut off; your washer or seat or both are bad and have to be replaced.G.L.

what sillcock handle is this?it is our exact same handle and it will not turn on at all, the exact same one in the rear of the house will.... front will not budge left as hard as we crank by hand or with wrench. any ideas, we sprayed it with wd 40, rust cleaner? still nothing. took handle off now mini crack in the very center.. what brand is this and does the whole sillcock need replacing? because we would want to get the same one as the rear.

@bielinskihouse I believe I bought this one at Aubuchons. Can't remember the exact model.

@HomeAdditionPlus do you know what the problem is though? why it will not turn or budge at all? and if the whole foot long thing needs to be replaced? thanks for finding it at that store, I think its there?

@bielinskihouse All I can think of is that the sillcock was frozen at some point and the pipe was cracked. As a result, it could be preventing the handle from turning. Also, there could be some internal corrosion.

What if the top flew off and water comes out of the top

@deansusky Attempt to screw it back on. If it does not stay on then buy a new one.
