Arrowhead PK1100 Stem Assy and One-Piece Bonnet for Hose Bibs

This saved me a ton of money vs hiring a plumber to come out and change the bib. Just remove the old one, slide this one in, tighten it down (was a little nervous because the threads were tight) and boom! No more leak.Thinking of buying another just as a spare.

Valve stem fit my 25 year old hose bibb sillcocks just right and are an improved design over originals so less likely to leak in future but if they do, it will be easier to service since it uses a standard 0-ring inside the stem. Handle screw is self-tapping into the brass stem. Save the handle and screw from old valve, not included in the replacement kit.

The hose spigot, which is 20 years old, was leaking and the washer was a mass of hard plastic, impossible to replace. So I ordered this stem assembly and a 1270 parts Tee handle kit from Arrowhead to replace the old assembly. Worked perfectly and took a whole 5 minutes to replace. Size is compared next to a dime..The part was perfect but it did take 2 weeks from order to delivery.

I used two of these to restore very old Arrowhead garden hose valves. The manufacturer claims that this part will fit almost all valves of this type. In my case it ALMOST matched (my valves are very old, from around 1985, but definitely the same brand and style). Firstly, the little plastic washer was not enough to install it without a leak. I needed to find a thicker washer. Secondly, the thread for the screw that holds the handle was different from my old valve, so again, I needed to find a pair of different screws.This may not be a problem for you if you are restoring a newer valve. And I still see benefits of using this part versus replacing the entire valve, because if the ease of installation and lower chances of getting a leak.

My outdoor faucet was leaking for quite sometime and the easy fix I always did is replaced the gasket. Recently, I am replacing the gasket less than a month now and I am ready to de-solder the copper pipe until I found this Arrowhead PK1100 Stem Assy and One-Piece Bonnet for Hose Bibs. A bit pricey but it is a perfect fit and no more leak.Highly recommended.

It didn't work for me but the saler fault I was just taking a chance.

I had two leaking hose spigots and considered sweating on new one bibs but figured I could just replace the valves, these worked out great

Fixed it
