Hi All,
Silly me left a hose reel connected to the exterior hose bib, causing a burst pipe inside the wall this winter. It leaks when the tap is opened.
I tried turning the fixture anti-clockwise hoping it will unscrew and be a quick replacement, but it kept spinning (like another post here).
This fixture is inside an interior wall, but the one on the other side of the house is visible from the basement. I've attached a photo.
Can an expert here advise me on how I can go about replacing this ? It appears to be a 1/2" PVC pipe glued to a brass coupling that is then soldered(?) to the spigot. This house in Virginia was built in 2018.
Here is the exterior hose bib, I can see the damaged metal pipe about an inch behind the siding.
