Need an affordable outdoor faucet with a mixing valve for hot and cold water that can be drained for winter and supports a future shower attachment.

The only known solution (Aquor) is too expensive, and alternative configurations (separate hose bibs) don't meet the user's need for a single fixture with mixing and winter drain capability.
