The frost proof spigot works most like other sillcocks, but with one significant difference, the length of the spigot is much longer than a regular spigot to protect the valve from low temperature. The frost proof spigot has 4 unique parts, the valve seat, the stem which is connected to the handle, the handle itself and the body and spout where the stem is located. As the handle is switched on, the stem turns inside the body of the spigot and at the same time closes the valve seat at the other end of the sillcock which is in the interior part of the house. Once this is done, the water stops flowing, the rest of the water in the stem is drained out.
