So, my grandparents' 40+-year-old outdoor spigot has been leaking from where the hose would fit on for about a week now. My initial plan was to just replace the washer at the end of the stem, but the screw holding it in is badly stripped.

So, replacing the whole assembly seems to be the next best thing.

I was wondering if a PK110 would suffice, but I'm not sure of the measurements, as I was in a rush given they had company over and I did not want to disturb them.

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Take the piece to the hardware store and use it to find the direct replacement.

THIS.

its like people are so retarded that they dont think to take the parts to the store and ask someone to help them find a replacement. lowes, home depot, ace hardware all sell the stem assemblies pretty sure one of them will have these older types.

You might have to shop around different hardware stores. The big box stores might not have this shit. Definitely hit up any old hardware stores - they'll have racks of different types of stems and sealing surfaces and you'll have to match them up. A dial caliper, or even a cheap caliper, is a good thing to have. In a 52 year old house, I've gone through this, a LOT.

There's an older Ace Hardware in town that might have it.

I would get a new assembly. If you live in a cold area a frost resistant one makes life easier.
