HOW THE FIGURE 95C WORKS
As shown on the schematic drawing on the right, the closing mem-
ber (stem and disc assembly) of the Figure 95C Frostproof Sillcock
operates by turning the handle in a clockwise manner to close and
counter-clockwise to open.
The valve’s seat is at the opposite end from the handle. The valve is
designed so that the seat area is situated safely behind the insula-
tion of the home’s exterior wall. This is to prevent the seat area
from being exposed to freezing temperatures. Depending on the region
of installation, the stem length is available in varying dimensions to
accommodate the various insulation thicknesses behind the wall.
The valve’s “rough-in” dimension (see “A” dimension) pertains to
the thickness of insulation and is measured from the frostproof sill-
cock’s flange to the valve seat and is available in lengths 4", 6", 8",
10", 12" and 14".
The Figure 95C is designed to employ an integral back-flow preven-
tion device to prevent potential back-siphonage. This back-siphon-
age, if unchecked, could compromise the safe potable water supply
to the home, resulting in sickness or death.
The independent testing bodies, American Society of Sanitary
Engineering and Canadian Standards Association, have validated the
valve’s primary and preventative functions.
TIPS FOR LONG LIFE
1. The hose should be carefully moved about, so as not to cause
abnormal tension via pulling and/or jerking.
2. If the hose is left on the Figure 95C in freezing weather, the
valve’s self-draining feature will protect the sillcock from freeze
damage if: 1) the nozzle is not left affixed to the hose; and 2) the
entire hose length is on a plane lower than the fixed position of
the frostproof sillcock.
3. The key to the Figure 95C being able to withstand and operate in
freezing weather is that the closing member (seat disc) is inside
the heated building. If the heat is temporarily shut down for a
length of time that would allow freezing to take place, all water
lines should be drained.
4. The figure 95C closes at the inlet of the sillcock. You will notice
that it will drip for a few seconds after being closed. Wait at
least 10 seconds.
Installation Instructions for Frostproof Sillcock
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Bore a 1 ¹⁄v” dia. hole through the wall in the desired position. A slight upward slope when drilling hole will aid sillcock in draining.
2. Insert the sillcock through the hole and position spout downward. To help position the sillcock from inside the building, “TOP”
is marked on the inlet end.
3. Connect water supply line to sillcock inlet using appropriate style connection.
4. Secure sillcock ange to wall using suitable screws. For installation on lapped siding, a plastic siding plate is supplied to give
a nished look.
* Warning: Avoid overheating when soldering — it could cause internal damage to seat area.
