Hi Jeff and others,

I think you can get just the faucet without City water for about $60.00 but full kit is more.  I’ve had to replace mine once due to operator error.
I hooked up to city water without a presure regulator and blew it apart. The following winter water in the city water valve froze and that went also.  Now I’m careful and I use it a lot and it has held up well.  I like the flow regulator and it helps preserve water.
I’d use this over the original.
