Sillcock Handle Spins Freely

Hello, today one of my outdoor sillcocks stopped working properly. The handle spins freely and will not shut off the flow of water in either direction. I only got it to stop by tightening and loosening the big nut behind the handle until I found a sweet spot, but if I move the handle at all the flow of water begins again. I know little to nothing about these things but from some research it appears to be an anti frost sillcock but other than a number (ASSE1019-A) on it which only leads me to the vacuum breaker on the top, I cannot identify a brand or anything to point me in the direction of how to repair or replace this thing. Any help would be appreciated! submitted by /u/SpecialAircraft [link] [comments]
