Spigot seals

[Futbalfantic]

Trying to find a seal kit for our outdoor spigots. Anyone know brand or model of these things. I have used a seal kit from lowes but it still leaks.

In my experience, they never fix it well or for long. Corrosion pits them up.

Is it threaded or sweated to the pipe? If threaded it’s an easy replacement.

Is there a way to tell?

If the seat is pitted they make a relatively cheap tool for refacing them, that being said unless it's going to be a pain to replace the whole valve, just replace it. Ideally with a frost proof hose bib

You may be able to look between the bib and the house and see threads or a hex (the “nut” for the fitting.

This x10 even if it is a moderate pain in the ass a frost proof is better
