  • It's not this simple and I'm really glad that I didn't attempt to replace my hose bibs myself based on YouTube tutorials. It involves cutting drywall if you're on a slab foundation. And remember that the water to the house has to be shut off the entire time.

    Just pay the money to get someone who knows what they're doing, so you don't end up with more problems or an emergency, like causing over $1,000 in water damage.

  • What do I need to attach a copper tube to the bib connection sticking out of the house (outside wall)? I don't even know if that made any sense at all. Basically, where my spigot is now, I need to move it about 10 feet away but I don't have a basement or can get to the piping inside the house. I have to attach something to the pipe sticking out of the stucco wall and extend it out to the side. I need to attach a copper pipe to it, bring it down to the ground, 90 degrees turn to the side about 10 feet away, then up a few feet then attach the spigot.

  • I have a question I have a 1/2 female hose bib that part of the pipe tread rusted off I am on a budget and I would like to know if there is anyway I could put another one on the pipe it’s still has some thread left Is there anyway I could pull an adapter to add a piece of pipe made out of plastic and pull that part on top of it

  • I'll reserve my thumbs up on whether or not I am able to do this. Thanks.
