Installing a frost free faucet is a simple task and will work for years with the correct installation. I have had many people say that they have put a new one in and when they went to turn on the water to wash their car in the spring they had a serious leak in it. The secret to installing a faucet correctly is to make sure the faucet is grading the right way. If the faucet is grading back into the house the water will stay in the faucet assembly and split. That's a guarentee with cold winters. Install the faucet so that all the water in it runs out of it. I know it sounds like common sense,but many people end up with frozen faucets becuase of this reason. when installing it place some support permanently under the faucet inside the house so that it will not fall out. this will make all the difference in the world
good luck and may your grass grow green......by all means leave a question if you wish.
