Angled Spacer for Frost-free Sillcock (Hose bib, Spigot, Faucet)

thingiverse

Remixed Wrangler's Frost-free Sillcock spacer to make an angled adapter. Basically took the outer pattern as a sketch to save time measuring and built the part off that, but it worked great. Two parts: - "Spacer_10deg_Sillcock.stl" = Thin 10deg shim - "Spacer_25mm_10deg_Sillcock.stl" = 25mm thick 10deg spacer (which I used to pull the anti-siphon cap off the wall a bit, and make it easier to install the hose) The outer hardiboard panels on my house are angled inwards ~4 deg. So I made this angled adapter at 10deg to both offset the hardiboard panel angle and add another 5-6 degrees of downwards angle to ensure water drains out of the spigot after shutting it off. Background: The "pro" plumber we hired to install a hot-water frost-free sillcock on our house was too lazy to read and follow the sillcock manufacturer's instructions for proper drain angles on the pipe when installed. This resulted in water getting trapped in the pipe and freezing just like Woodford said it would. (https://www.woodfordmfg.com/woodford/HowAFaucet/How%20a%20Standard%20Frost-Proof%20Faucet%20Works.pdf) The plumber wouldn't repair their work, so I had to replace it and needed an angled spacer to properly set the angle.
