OLD GUY NEEDS HELP ON HOSE FAUCET

[OldTimerAlan]

The hose faucet is cracked and we can't turn it. It was 30 years old.

We've inserted 2 pix below.

We ordered what we thought was a replacement, but it wasn't "deep" enough to go all the way in. (pix below).



What do we need to order for a good fit?

Thanks for any help,

Alan



(Here are 2 pix of the old one.)

Thank you for responding!

Here is a picture (I've looked carefully, but I don't see any brand):

It looks to be square. If it is, could you use something like this instead?

Post a picture of the faucet and shank itself.

Have you tried taking your cracked handle to a local hardware, Home Depot or Lowe's to see if they have a replacement? Also, if there is no name on the faucet body, there may be a foundry mark that would help identify the manufacturer.

Showing my lack of knowledge here - I didn't know I could use anything different. That looks like a great alternative.

Here's the picture you requested:

Thank you!

Thank you, I hadn't thought of that!

No foundry (or other) mark or ID.

Thank you again!

That pic says that my Amazon solution would not work because the square shaft is inset pretty far. If I come up with something else, I'll get back to you.

This one from Home Depot appears to be sort of a universal solution that may work:

Alan, it may help to let us know where in the world you are located. Different countries use different sources.

Thank you again!

That one shows as Out of Stock in HD, but I found this one that looks (to me) to be similar... Does it look okay to you?

Looks like about as good as any and if it doesn’t work you can return it for free.

Looks kinda like it might be a Nibco 90/95 to me.
