Title: Water spigot
Post by: ohsonew on February 10, 2019, 08:35:41 am
Last summer, I accidentally closed the water bay door on the long outside faucett breaking it where the upright pipe connects to the cross over spigot. Haven't been able to locate a replacement piece in my area. Anyone know where to locate a new pipe from? Checked the big box stores, camping world to no avail.

Thanks in advance,
Larry

Using the excellent Forum SEARCH function, I found this thread:

outside utility bay faucet (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=18131)

Following the info in the the thread linked above, I tracked down these pages with Google:

Body:  M–DURA chrome two-handle utility faucet - 8121 - MoenPro (http://pro.moen.com/m-dura/chrome-two-handle-utility-faucet/_/R-TPORTAL-ALL%3A8121)

Spout:  M–DURA chrome commerical spout - SV010 - MoenPro (http://pro.moen.com/m-dura/chrome-commerical-spout/_/R-TPORTAL-ALL%3ASV010)

If you want to replace the whole faucet with something less expensive, this one has been recommended on the Forum:

Regency 12" Wall Mounted Swing Spout Swivel Faucet with 8" Centers (https://www.webstaurantstore.com/regency-12-wall-mounted-swing-spout-swivel-faucet-with-8-centers/600FW812.html?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GoogleShopping&gclid=CjwKEAjwgbG5BRDp3oW3qdPiuCwSJAAQmoSDJmWX-L8Le-xuXuE9aAyRtMrz6x5qATU_NIwe8Xn65BoCisnw_wcB)

Larry,

If you did decide to replace the whole faucet assembly with a different model, you might offer up your old removed parts to the Forum.  The OEM faucets are bad about cracking when subjected to sub-freezing temps.  Some other member might be able to use your discarded parts to put their original faucet back in service.

Just a thought.

You can always change to a different style. I was always closing the wet bay door on that thing. I now use an inexpensive quick connect which works great for me.

Good point Chuck. Nothing like recycling and helping someone else. If I change out, it will be in the classifieds.

Larry,

If the stand pipe just broke off at the threads you can just rethread the end and put the vacuum brake and arm back on.

Mike, hadn't considered that since it was chromed. Should have a pipe die at work, if I haven't gotten rid of the pipe. Might still be in the coach bay.

Larry,

It will rethread just fine.  Have done it for several Forum members that had the same oops.
