Back flow prevention.

Vacuam break,Backflow preventer is a bit more complicated.

A vacuum relief valve there is a good idea, prevents a siphon effect on your garden hose. That could contaminate your drinking water and lead to an early death from hose water poisoning. []

Nice spigot faucet.

It dripped a lot.

Thanks for the reply. Haven't seen any that looked like that before.

Maybe salvaged from an old commercial kitchen or something. The washers are worn out if she drips.

It's a janitorial slop sink faucet. See that little "hook" on the spigot? It's for hanging a bucket and the brace is to keep it from breaking from the weight of the bucket.

And why does it appear to be plumbed for both H & C on an outside fixture ? Nice to have for some outside jobs.

That's not too unusual out west. It's really nice for washing the car or the dog.
