    Hose Bib on Irrigation Supply Line

    I have an irrigation system for the exterior of my home. To feed that irrigation system there is a water supply pipe that exits the house, goes through a wye with the bottom part of the wye aimed down and it is plugged with a male plug. I assume that is for some sort of drain if needed. The...

    Help identifying this unmarked hose bib

    After getting forum help on identifying what turned out to be a Woodford 25, I'm wondering if you could help identify this leaking hose bib from an older section of the same building. No markings that I can see. Google Lens wasn't any help either. Thanks. David Thanks.

    Replacing hose bib or outdoor faucet

    I need to replace the outdoor faucet, it leaks. It is mounted against aluminum siding. I'd like to find something better to mount the new faucet to, but I am not willing to cut my siding. Are there any products that will provide a flat(er) surface for the faucet and accommodate the slope of the...

    I found the pictured hose bib on the back of a stand-alone garage built shortly before we purchased our property in 2017. I've lived with it, but finally decided to swap it our for the correct fixture so I could add a pressure regulator and stop bursting the leader hose to the timer. I...

    High quality hose bib

    Wall faucet, hose bib, sillcock or hydrant, lots of different names for the same item. I used to use the Woodford 101CP with integrated vacuum breaker. Not that I really need that feature. After I replaced a couple due to the vacuum breaker leaking (yes, I know about the rebuild kit that...

    Need advice on removing and replacing the frost-free spigot

    Hi, all: Long story short, I got a split frost-free spigot pipe and I am interested in a DIY job to replace it. At first, I attempted to thread it off with medium-level force but didn't succeed. I searched online and figured out the type of spigot should be the Arrowhead 486 with 1/2" MIP and...

    CPVC pipe to Hose bib temporary plug

    My house hose bib busted off 1/2" CPVC. (I not that great at DIY but I need to save from being gouged). The pipe broke where there's a fitting over it. So, I can't just glue on a cap. It's bigger than 1/2 and less than the next size up. Is there any easy plug out there that will hold for a...

    Are There Any Hose Bibs Designed for Continuous Use?

    When I think about all of the shutoff valves in our homes that may never get turned off like those for our main water turnoff, inside valves to turn off our hose bibs for the winter or those under our sinks that feed our sink faucets - - they are ALWAYS under "continuous use". In my new home...

    Is it against code to connect a timer to a hose bib?

    I have connected 1 orbit 4 Zone Timer to my hose bib so that the timer is of course downstream. Plumbing code states as follows... "A shutoff valve should never be placed downstream of any AVB, as this would result in continuous pressure on the AVB" I have also come to learn that hose bibs...
