Prier C-108 Hot and Cold Mixing Hose Bibb
Description
The C-108 is a mixing hose bibb that may be useful for those of you that live in a colder climate and would want to fill your buckets with hot water. One of the coolest features about the C-108 is that it can be mounted horizontally or vertically and it has a positional outlet. The C-108 is a freezeless, anti-siphon bibb with a backflow check valve. The C-108 requires about 1-1/4 360 degree turn to get the valve 100% open where a bibb like the P-164 requires roughly a single quarter turn. The body of the C-108 is 100% brass with satin nickel plating. This gives an attractive and durable protective finish. What's nice about Prier products is you can rebuild the internals of the hose bibb making it a true lifetime product!
These C-108 hose bibbs come with a type D seating option which is a 1/2” MIP x 1/2” SWT that requires you to bore a 1” hole. From what we've read MIP is equivalent to NPT.
The C-108 will come with the hot handle not put on so you can choose to between using a handle or using a loose key. A loose key design is great for people who have younger kids in the house and don't want them accidentally burning themselves. Everything is included in the box.
The C-108 can provide a year round freezeless operation due to the bibb valve being connected to the water supply pipe in the heated section of the structure (Your house or garage). The 4" or 12" are recommended for locations where it gets really cold outside because the valve will be further inside the heated structure where something like the 1.5" close couple bibb has the valve closer to the exterior elements.
