What are your favorite hose bibb brands?

[RickFlorida]

Hi everyone,

What are high quality hose bibb brands you like? I'm getting tired of the low quality ones from Lowes and Home Depot. I never would have thought they could make brass ones that were bad but they are so cheaply made and I can't even describe it. They feel almost hollow they are so thin walled and then don't open or close easily. They feel like they are about to fail when only a year old.

I know from when I moved my irrigation pump and had to turn of a large valve to the artesian well I found that it had an incredibly well made looking valve by Milwaukee.
Does Milwaukee make hose bibbs or just gate valves?

Arrowhead brass. One of the best.

Thanks! There's a great ACE near me that could order them or has them in stock (I looked it up and ACE carries the brand), thank you.

Woodford and Prier are good too.

I would agree if he needed a frostproof Bibb but I know he doesn’t

Thank you, both of you. Yeah I forgot to say I'm in Florida as I forgot up North different factors matter. Good catch. I can get away with the simple but well made Arrow Head, but thank you both of you.
