We have these hose faucets that are apparently called "freeze proof hose bibbs", from what I've been able to find out on the web so far.
But when this modular house was built a couple of years ago, it looks like some parts got left out of one of them, and that thing on the top gushes water when you turn the hose on. I checked inside it by unscrewing it and then looked at one of the others, and it's missing some internal part that appears to be like a pressure valve that closes it when you turn the hose on.
So I took the whole thing with the bad one, in to Home Depot and Ace and got treated like a martian in both stores. They didn't know what the thing is, never saw one before. But I pointed out that they were selling these kinds of faucets with the durn things on them. They still didn't know and said they don't sell them separately.
So I need to know what these things are and where to get a replacement one. Anyone?
