PlumbingPart Identification & Selection3MediumHomeowner$ implied

Anti-siphon valves on new hose bibs prevent standard hose timers from sealing due to interference between the timer's screen/gasket and the internal valve mechanism, causing leaks.

No readily available adapter or replacement part exists to allow standard hose timers to seal on anti-siphon hose bibs without leaking.
