If you need to replace the stem, buy this whole unit
Someone installed this new sharkbite unit for me a few years ago, but now it leaks from the handle. I tried all the tightening and removing stem, packing nut etc, but still leaks. My issue is that just purchasing the stem, costs as much as a brand new fully assembled sillcock as this one. Its ridiculous that you cant just by the packing nut or any separate pieces except for the stem. instead of buying the stem, I bought a whole brand new unit to disassemble and replace the moving parts. stem alone is 43.00..same price as a brand new full unit. hmmm lets see...which one to buy....duh. I was reading the Q&A on here and someone said it started leaking after 3 months. The manufacture said they needed to buy a replacement stem. 3 months is crazy to start leaking unless it wasn't installed properly. next time I need to replace the entire faucet, I will probably purchase another brand that has all the parts that you can fix easily with it costing a fortune.

High quality replacement
Bought a couple of these to replace some leaking 30 yr old hose bibs. Excellent quality and easeof installation. Five stars, just a tad on the pricey side...

Works great
Awesome hose spigot! Soon much easier than sweating copper and not a leak in sight. My only very minor complaint is that the dial could be more ergonomic definitely a 5 star product

Easy to install, no leaks
Simple install, very high quality construction. A bit more expensive than some others, but worth it. Only complaint is the number of turns it requires to open the valve, my last one was a half-turn to full open and this one is more like 6-7 full turns. Not a big deal.

Pretty good quality
Overall, it’s pretty beefy and seems like a quality piece. Super easy to install and worked great in replacing my worn out sillcock. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars… it seems like 147 turns to turn it on or off. Not a huge deal but something worth noting.

Did the trick
Replaced an outdoor sillcock with this new one. Worked like a charm and easy install. This brand is a bit pricier but it would seem that is the price of convenience.

Its an easy install for sure.
I ordered two of the 15" Sharkbite frost free sillcocks (what a brutal name). As far as the install goes they are stupid easy. The surprising missing link...nowhere on the instruction sheet does it say what size of hole is required to slide that sucker into. I'll save you the trouble and say use a 1-1/4" bit. I saw one other mention of 1-1/8" by another person but other than that... nothing else on the internet. Nothing on SB's site either. Its like a KFC secret or something.But once you get past that you're on easy street. I was using pex so other than me pre-marking said pex so that I knew I was pushed in enough it was a smooth install.Its too bad that these taps aren't a 1/4 turn style system. The few moving parts the better. I can't find anyone local in central Alberta that sells replacement parts so crossing my finger that this these things last several years. $68ea isn't exactly cheap if they don't have longevity.

sillcock is leaking water when the valve is closed
After one year and a half the sillcock is leaking water when the valve is closed, looks like the stem valve is gone. Can not find any stem valve replacement in Canada. Originally bought 2 sillcocks, one is fine, another one is not.Sillcock model: SharkBite 8 Inch Frost Free Sillcock, 1/2 x 3/4 Inch MHT, 24628LF.to @SharkBite: where can I purchase your stem valve replacement ??? thanks.

Easy install. Room for Improvement
The product was easy to install in my existing construction. Saved a lot of demolition vs traditional connections. I cut 8”x8” holes and added plastic access doors, available on Amazon, to make future access simple.I didn’t understand how the 10” were measured and had to reorder a shorter version. The entire unit is 15”, the shaft is 12”, and the smooth part of the shaft is 10”. Something to consider as you decide on size.Room for improvement. I would have preferred comfortable 1/4 turn knobs instead of these old school sharp ones. Also, the screw slots should not be tapered. Screws get pushed off the flange as they get tighter.
