Ratings & Reviews for AMERICAN VALVE Replacement Handle and Anti-siphon Repair Kit
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise this repair kit's effectiveness at stopping leaks affordably when it fits properly, with many completing installations in minutes and avoiding costly plumber visits. However, a substantial group reports significant fit compatibility issues, particularly with certain faucet models where the body diameter is too small or the anti-siphon ring doesn't match. Several note misleading product images and incomplete component shipments. Despite these drawbacks, most customers who achieved successful repairs consider it worthwhile, though fit verification before purchase is essential.

Would Not RecommendThe white plastic anti-siphon ring around the washer is not the correct size for the standard M72AS spigot. The screw of the knob also is a little short and did not tighten through till the end.
Sweepstakes
Picture is not accurate
Would Not RecommendKit does not include all pieces shown. It only includes the smaller threaded part. Would not fit my faucet.
Sweepstakes
Does not contain larger part (1 inch)
Would Not RecommendThis photo is fake. I bought at the local store and I noticed after the fact that it contains only smaller part (3/4 inch). My valve is 1 inch and I need the larger part. I checked again at the store and all other packages are the same. I think I bought it a few years back and it had two parts. Please recover original kit.
Thank you for bringing our attention to the image discrepancy. We are in the process of correcting this.
Not as pictured.
Would Not RecommendThe kit pictured has the anti siphon device for two thread sizes. The kit I purchased only has one white threaded anti siphon device and one brown cap. Of course, I needed the ones not included and I'm not driving 45 miles to return a $3.00 part. Very disappointed the picture/description does not match the part. Misleading.

Kit is insufficient
Would Not RecommendEnd of the arm spring and seal is bad too. The M72AS started failure with the plastic cover breaking, it ended after 3 years with spring and end seal failing.

Perfect fit. Couldn't find this part anywhere else
Would RecommendThe anti-siphon valve on my outdoor faucet has always leaked. I tried many parts from other stores, but the threading on the valves never matched. This one screwed on perfectly and stopped the leak.
We are pleased to hear that you're satisfied with you're faucet. Thank you for your feedback.

Useless
Would Not RecommendAll I need is a packing nut for an American Valves sillcock valve. After visits to four handware stores, three plumbers, and the American Valves website, the second trip to Lowes put me in contact with the plumbing manager. Apparently no one carries the packing nut and this valve repair kit was recommended to me. I was led to believe that the washing nut was part of the kit, but it's not. I'm only out three bucks, but after three weeks I'd like to fix a leaky faucet. You'd think someone would ca...
