Is this a frost free outdoor faucet?

Question

I am new to my house and scratching my head about this faucet. I grew up in a home built in 1960, and each outdoor faucet had a shut off valve inside. This faucet does not have one. The seller of the home also did not shut this off last winter.

I have another outdoor faucet at the house that is an obvious non-freeze one based on googling and the water dripping when it shuts off. I'm more puzzled by this one.

I lean towards this being a frost free faucet, but would rather err on the side of paranoia...

Edit: At suggestion of commenters below. Here is the inside. It doesn't seem like copper all the way. It seems like this may not be the "best", but could be helping with the pipe not freezing. One thing that complicates this is that the faucet goes into a wall that is perpendicular to the home itself. I guess I'll have it professionally evaluated. Greatly appreciate everyone's helpful comments.

Answer 1

If you are referring to frostless sillcocks, that is not one. It looks like a standard 1/2" female hose bib on a galvanized pipe.

Answer 2

0. Definitely not frost-free.

With the updated photo -

1. Mark were the galvanized pipe meets the outside wall.
2. Turn off the water at some point that will affect this pipe
3. Hold the copper with an adjustable wrench, unscrew the galvanized from it using a pipe wrench. Pull it out through the wall. You might need to remove the coupling as well to fit through the hole.
4. Take the removed, marked faucet and pipe to a store, and select a frost free sillcock of suitable length to replace it. If you can't find an exact match, get a longer one and use a bit of trim on the outside wall. Odds are good that it's a standard length.

Answer 3

It's not a frost-free. Here's how you can tell. The parts of a frost-free are

1. Handle is in-line with the pipe in the wall. A 45-degree sill cock is not frost-free
2. The handle is in-line with the pipe because the cutoff is well inside your house (a warmer zone) and there's a straight shaft from the handle all the way to the end
3. A drain cock on top. To properly winterize this, you have to let air in so the water flows out, leaving a dry pipe

Let's look at your sillcock

1. The handle is in-line with the pipe
2. You have a threaded galvanized pipe attached the the sillcock. A frost-free is one contiguous unit and will have no threads
3. There's no drain cock on top

As such, this is not frost-free
