A friend of mine has a frost-resistant outdoor faucet that has started leaking. According to the invoice from 2014, the plumber installed a valve from the company Kemper. However, Kemper has confirmed that this is not one of their valves. I have also not found similar models from other manufacturers. (Unfortunately, the plumbing company no longer exists.)
Does anyone here recognize the manufacturer?
Furthermore, the internal parts cannot be removed even after loosening the fitting. Unfortunately, the pipes inside are not accessible without opening up the wall. Ideally, I would like to check and repair or replace the internal components myself. I do not have the tools for more extensive work.
Thank you very much in advance, and I wish everyone a pleasant Saturday.

AOberlaen10 Aug 2024 15:29Thank you for the response. I was hoping that the seal pressing against the slide valve is only damaged, but to check that, I would need to remove the part. Having the manufacturer’s information would definitely be helpful. In general, I find the entire installation quite unusual, since there is only one main shut-off valve for the whole house and no additional valves. All the pipes also simply disappear into the wall. My training was 20 years ago, and although I occasionally work on similar tasks, I have never encountered anything like this before.

Now they are on vacation, so I took a look myself. If I can’t find a permanent solution, I will improvise so they can use everything normally and still have a few months before the first frost arrives.
I could have repaired the Kemper valve with minimal effort. The idea that the spindle is connected to the valve slider makes sense.
Maybe someone happens to know the manufacturer of the valve; if not, as I said, I will improvise until a plumber has time to fix it properly.
