ABSTRACT:
An adjustable anti-freeze faucet assembly for mounting within a wall of the building comprises a telescoping water pipe with pieces configured for telescopic sliding movement to vary the length of the pipe, a faucet spout coupled to an outlet end of the pipe and a valve body mounted within the pipe proximate an inlet end. A valve handle is mounted proximate the pipe outlet end near the faucet spout, and a telescoping valve control stem extends in the pipe from the valve handle to the valve body. The control stem telescopes with the length of the pipe such that the valve body is maintained generally stationary with respect to the pipe length. When the faucet assembly is installed, the faucet spout and valve handle are at the cold outside surface, while the valve body is maintained proximate the warm inside surface of the building wall to prevent freezing of the water in the valve body and pipe.
