Fixed water leak - valves

Perfect fit for me. As always, check your model for consistency (they're not exactly universal). My problem was a large leak from the tip of my nozzle. It turned out that there was a hole in the vacuum interrupter cover in the middle of the inner seal. Too bad I didn't know about this before replacing all the damn seals and springs in the block. Anyway, with this replacement, you can have your garden watered again in less than a minute.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

looks the same but not the same

This one looks the same as mine now but the small plunger inside is slightly larger. It fits in there, but it's more solid, so it takes a minute to seal it first. It works, but not in the way I would like it to. I'm still giving it 5 stars because it's the same as all local hardware stores so obviously this size is the standard and my faucet is a weirdo like a lot of things in my house.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled

Fits main outdoor home faucet

Neither my existing faucet nor the anti-siphon block had a name or part number (the faucet only has "US" on one side and "ABP" imprinted Another). others), so I could only measure it. Original part in size 7/8 OD with a pattern that looks like a thin thread. I couldn't find it anywhere (many stores are now closed) so I jumped at the chance to buy this device. And it fits perfectly. You don't have to overtighten it, just press it firmly with your hand. For now I'm only giving it 4* until I see…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • thin
