2016年7月21日 · Exterior faucets ( hose bibs) are available both in the traditional sillcock design where you turn the round handle like a turning a bolt and also available in a design that uses ball valves, where you only turn the handle a quarter turn to go from on to off. I find that the sillcock design starts leaking from around the

2011年5月24日 · I'm replacing a bad frost-free hose bib. The existing hole is 12" long x 3/4" wide. However, the newer hose bibs are slightly wider, and I need to enlarge the hole to 1".

2022年9月26日 · Where I live, garden hoses are used year round and never come in for the winter. I have about 12 hose bibs on my property, only a couple have the flex hoses, guess which ones have the problems. BTW, some of these flex hoses come with the plastic shut off valve in the package. I don't find that they decrease the flow enough to notice on these hoses.

2016年7月12日 · I want to put y-connectors on the my hose bibs, so the 90 degree or 45 degree turns on the outlets of typical hose bibs are a nuisance rather than a convenience. One end of the y-connector always ends up too close to the wall or to the ground. Another question: The outlet of a typical hose bib has about 3 rows of threads on

2020年7月11日 · It's a simple job, using 1/2" PVC a couple fittings and a washing machine hose to relocate spigot to a more usable location. You will need a fitting to go between washing machine hose and PVC pipe, PVC pipe,and a boiler drain for the actual spigot. Connect washing machine hose to outside hose bib, and to PVC.

The OSB exposed is wet but not puffy so I think I avoided a huge mess. I have clear weather till Sunday so I can let it air out for a day or two. im going to replace the wood with expanded PVC.

2017年7月29日 · I don't know of any product, but I made an access panel for behind my water heater (to access the piping for whole house water filter, input for cold water, branch for water heater feed, both legs of hot water recirculating loop, hose bib feed, and runs to serve rest of the house). Obviously, a complicated and congested area.

2014年11月10日 · +1. I have used this method several times, but sometimes it is difficult to get a good seal with the rubber band, or the working space isn't sufficient. Another method is to soak an old rag in vinegar and wrap it around the fixture, hose bib, or shower head. Put a bag/rubber band around the rag if the vinegar evaporates too quickly.

2019年7月24日 · What's a good way to anchor an outdoor faucet (hose bib) to a brick or block wall? The arrangements I've seen depend on the rigidity of the pipes to hold the faucets still. That's ok for galvanized pipe and perhaps for copper pipe, but what do you do if the supply pipe is PEX? Hose bibs designed to be anchored with screws don't work well for ...

2012年6月26日 · Since I bought a boom arm from another member here, I'm thinking of picking up another Festool hose so I don't have to take the hose out of the boom when I take the vac out of the shop. Hoses of course aren't cheap, but I see that the non-antistatic hose is about 2/3 the price of the standard antistatic hose.
