Will it withstand temperature extremes--can it be left outside year round? Extremes-10 degrees to 120 degrees.

I don't know why it wouldn't work just fine in hot weather, I leave it on the faucet in the summer when there are some 100 degree days. However, in the winter, I remove it and cover my outside faucets with the foam cups so they won't freeze.

120* is no problem, but in sub-freezing temperatures expansion of ice in the 32-28* temperature range can split the brass housing or damage the shutcock mechanism. I left one outdoors on a hose end with the shutcock open and pointed down so it would drain, and still it was ruined. It is a high quality accessory, but you should avoid leaving it out in freezing temps.

I don't have those extremes here. It has weathered 8 degrees to 103 degrees with no problems.

I think so, as long as it's not left to the elements. Not sure of your climate but I wouldn't leave it outdoors in extreme weather, like summer here in FL or winter up North.

I don't know about 100 degrees as that has not happened to me but did have it out on a grave in very cold weather in VA and it did fine.

No. This would not last outside. The top is wood and the metal is not sturdy enough for out side.

I would not leave this outside or expose it to water/high moisture conditions. I am not sure but would be surprised if it had any weatherproof indications.

i think it can withstand the heat but not sure about the elements out side.

NO! It is not strong enough to withstand weather. It is only for internal (inside buildings, houses, etc) use not for outdoor use.

Mature trees can take temperatures down to 10 f. However you will have to keep it protected for the first 5 or 6 years.

I have used it outdoors without any problem. I would not leave it out in the weather. I keep mine coiled up in a box on the patio. I have not seen anything wrong with this. I will take in inside when it gets cold.

I would think it would be ok for outside except for snow or extreme heat eg:Phoenix where its 110 or more. The material is foam rubber, hope this helps!

I wouldn't leave it outside. We bought this for my grandson (who loves it by the way) & while it does get used outside on nice days, it's not left outside due to the fact that the material its made from is not really conducive to the outdoor elements.

It is sturdy and well-made. I have not had mine through a winter, but I don't think I would leave it outside with water in it - - anything might crack if it freezes where you live.

I have had it for about a year on the roof of my pavilion outside. It's fully exposed to the weather and it went through a pretty rough Buffalo winter and still going strong if that helps :).

I would not put it permanently. We left ours outside over the winter and some to the components inside froze and no longer work. But leaving it out all season should be fine.

That would depend on where you were putting it. It is not weather resistant so it needs to be in a protected environment.

We live up in the mountains in colo. & we used it for a green house this summer & its still up . it is about 24F & lots of snow so we went out to check it out for you & its very bendable still in good shape hope this helps you out .

Left mine out from August to December last year. Had to take it down after the snow and ice started setting on it. It's back up now for this year. This is in western PA weather. I don't think they can handle harsh weather. Would rip and tear.
