Installed 2 new hosebibs on the front and rear of my house. All the pipe connections are fine. Problem is, there seems to be a very small/slow leak coming out of the faucet end. Both are new "8 inch quarter turn anti siphon frost free" I figured since I were replacing both of these I may as well get the frost free kind. Should I go back to the old school type or get some from a plumbing supply instead of Home Depot??

What's the item number or a pic of the ones your using. Some of the anti freeze type ones can drip for a while after you shut them off.
Well, that is a poor quality part. It's unfortunate because back in the day they were much better. B&K, Mueller and a few others decided to go the cheap route to appeal to the demands of box stores pushing for low prices. The castings are terrible and the low grade materials have created a lot of problems.
When I get a service call for those I no longer repair them, I tear them out and replace the whole unit.
Arrowhead, Legend or Woodford are decent brand names......but even those are getting worse. I wish I had better news for you but even the top names in the industry are getting bad.
I've been putting in Legend T-550's lately and customers like them. Arrowhead has a hose bibb with an internal vacuum breaker that looks nice but I've been hearing about those failing again from some of the plumbers I know who use them.
Not really the best advice but that's mainly because I'm sick of fixing all these brands.
On my house I installed Legend T-550's. You can order them online.
