About Outdoor Valves

Outdoor valves are essential components for exterior plumbing, built for durability, weather resistance, and dependable performance. Also known as hose bibs, hose spigots, sillcocks, water hose spigots, and outdoor water valves, these fixtures provide convenient access to water outside your home or building. Whether connecting a garden hose, irrigating landscaping, washing a vehicle, or supplying water to an outdoor sink, an outdoor valve ensures reliable water flow whenever needed.

At Plumbingsell, we offer a range of high-quality outdoor plumbing valves designed for residential, commercial, and landscaping applications. Our inventory includes standard outdoor spigots, frost-free sillcocks, quarter-turn outdoor water valves, and models with anti-siphon backflow protection—all engineered to withstand outdoor conditions and seasonal temperature changes.

What Is an Outdoor Valve?

An outdoor valve is a plumbing fixture designed to control water flow to fixtures and water access points located outside a building. These valves must be durable to handle weather exposure, temperature fluctuations, and potential freezing in colder climates.

Common uses for outdoor valves include:

• Garden hoses
• Sprinkler or irrigation systems
• Exterior washing stations
• Pools, fountains, or other outdoor plumbing fixtures

Because they are installed outside, outdoor valves must resist corrosion, mineral buildup, and wear from environmental elements such as UV exposure, moisture, and soil contact.
