Great video brother. Awesome that you show people how easy some projects can be and they can do them on their own. Keep up the great work I see the channel is growing
How did you know it was threaded on? If it was soldered on then, you would have bent and cracked the copper and you would have to replace the backside. I made that mistake cause it was soldered on, and had to open up the drywall on the inside of the house and replumb it. Wasn't too bad to replumb but would have had to be replumbed regardless for the new spigot to be added on.
“It’s all about helping people”. Considering he’s knowledgeable and genuinely wants to help. This is the kind of person you want to get advice from. Loved the video 👍
This is so effing stupid. They should be reqd, by code, to extend the faucet so you can put 2 wrenches on the outside and not have to cut up your drywall inside just to change a faucet. WTF??
I work for a plumbing/hvac company in sherman tx. a good tip is to use a map gas torch and add a little heat to the sil-cock before you try to twist it off. the brass will expand and let go easier. USUALLY no backup is needed that way.
I don't have a torch or anything. My faucet assembly piece is not budging at all when I try to loosen it. It must be rusted. I just need to replace the washer as I have a slow drip. Any advice on how to loosen the assembly piece? Thanks!
My two outside faucets are leaking and spitting water out of the vacuum breaker. Thanks for letting me know how to do this you are a tremendous value to our community!
I don't know what to do but I have almost the exact one that you have in the video, but there's a hole on the side of the spigot and when the water turns on it shoots out to the side instead of it coming out of the front, I can't post pictures cuz for some reason TH-cam doesn't allow that so I can't really show it but I don't know what to do and the other owner painted the spigot into the wall of the house, is there anyone that can help me out?
That you very much, good sir! We found out one of our spigot had a nasty leak, and after a long trip to the hardware store, 15 dollars in parts and a little time. It is as good as new! Thanks to this tutorial, we were able to save money and our water! In texas, there are water restrictions, so needed to fix that leak!
Sometimes you have to open the wall. Or take a chance and hope it is braced properly. If you spin it and the copper twists well that’s a lot more costly than a drywall repair.
Thank you for such a helpful video. When the faucet is replaced, could I just shut off the main water valve that is coming into the house and then drain the pipes? Thank you.
That’s great assuming you have ready access to behind the wall. Ours is in a non-accessible “crawl space.” If I need to get behind that wall I’m going to have to cut into the siding.
It is so hard I wish that is was standard to put a winged elbow in there that fastened to a stud. That way you would know that your not going to twist pipe when taking this out. Hopefully you can just replace the washer and call is good.
Outdoor faucet was leaking. Estimate from plumber to replace faucet $350. Vinyl siding removal and replacement for access $250. Total $600. I went to local plumbing supply store. Washer and screw for faucet $1.69. Enough said.
Oh man I may have though so for a second as well. But I’m glad it was not! I was meaning to write you back and say I’m glad that the baking soda and vinegar worked. And you can never go wrong with filling the kitchen sink up to give the pipes a good flush! So happy I was able to help!
@@ThatFixItGuy yup. I saw the look on your face when you tried to move it with the adjustable. I thought that just a little more muscle and that thing twists like a licorice whip. Have a safe night!
@@ThatFixItGuy I would love to pick your brain I in the process of digging a trench down hill we live in Central Texas on a hill we have a well water we want to run water to our house underground about 195 feet what would you recommend to me about the cheapest pipping material to use
I would use type A pex. Depending on your soil it may have to be sleeved. I know in our area a couple of cities want it sleeved. I spoke with a friend of mine that is in Texas and he said for all his inground water he runs viega fosta pipe. This is going to be long lasting.
My pipe is inside my masonry wall on side of house and unable to get to inside pipe to hold. Even if I wanted to put a sharkbit how can I hold pipe to create the pushing pressure needed?
I see you secured the back of the pipe while turning the spigot. I can't reach my back end because it a tight space behind way. Can i just turn the front end with channel lock pliers? Thank you
Highly unlikely that you needed to replace that outside spigot. You could have spent 50 cents for a replacement washer and a bonnet packing set and made the spigot new in 10 minutes, to last for the next 15 years.
I agree with you, and I love repairing instead of replacing when possible. I wanted to do a replacement video mainly because the wall in the garage was open.
Why would you replace it with a boiler drain after all that? That isn't a hosebibb either...It doesn't meet code unless you install a vacuum breaker on it .Useless vid
😂 don’t be so salty. Life is too short bro. This is definitely not a boiler drain. This video can’t be useless if it has helped so many people. Find to positive.
@@ThatFixItGuy It IS most definitely a boiler drain dude you were good to explain about the vacuum breaker though kudos for that . It makes it legal .A hose bibb is usually 8" long so that the shutoff is well within an insulated space,and when turned off will be able to drain out the remaining water so it can't freeze expand and break the copper tube on the hosebibb and it's the right thing but if you're replacing like for like than sure but an improvement using a real HB would've been better I guess .
@@thomassullivan5837 does it have some kind of identification markers on it? See if parts are available. You may be able to fix, but depending on age you may want to replace. Will have to shut the water down and open it up to see.
Thanks for the video Brian I was sweating for a minute I didn’t think that hose bib was going to break loose, I thought the copper was going to give first. Why do they not have a frost free hydrant does the weather not get below freezing?
Me too Britt. I did not know if my backup wrench would work or not. It totally freezes here. There should be a frost free hose bib in there, but you could tell this was done long ago. They may at some point change it, but for the moment they just wanted the leak stopped.
@@ThatFixItGuy that's so interesting because even if they had a sillcock, the waterline goes into the garage which in theory is not in the heat zone. Garages could get below freezing and blow the entire line.
I suggested that to them and they just wanted the leak stopped. Since I could not get the faucet apart the quickest repair was like for like. I believe remodel is coming.
My bib has two bolts at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions. Are those necessary for use on vinyl siding? I don’t see any valves at the store that have those bolts. Thx!
Thanks for the video! I have one issue, the value assembly piece on my outdoor faucet is not coming loose! Mine must be rusted because it is not budging at all. How can I get it to loosen? I think I only need to replace the washer and don't need an entire new faucet. Mine faucet is old and I doubt the washer was ever replaced. I have a slow drip and want to stop it. Any advice will be appreciated!! Thanks dude!
I soaked mine with a diy penetrating lubricant of 30% acetone, 70% olive oil. After overnight, I was able to loosen the bonnet nut and remove the stem to get to the washer at the end of it.
Yeah it is. Some time older meter valves are just 1/4 turn though. You may want to check that! You don’t want to pay that city plumbing repair price! 😂
I have a vacuum breaker on my spigot, but when I hook up a new soaker hose for my garden, it appears to leak out of the threaded seal. I tried plumber's tape and it still leaks. Found your video bc I thought I needed to replace the whole thing and remove the VB to a simple quarter turn ball-valve spigot but you actually suggested having the VB. Admittedly, it probably is an older VB and spigot. Any suggestions?

I have a question my garden hose faucet broke off the pipe I still see some thread left Can I use another Fossett or what will be your recommendation to fix the problem greatly appreciate it I’m on a limited budget
The same thing happened to me today and I'm here to find a solution to my problem. The other issue I have with this is it's in an extremely tight location and just can't put any tools on it and get leverage too!
The backside of my outdoor spigot is behind my shower insert. So to get to it I would have to remove my shower insert I guess. Mine isn't leaking but it's making a horrible humming noise when the water is being used.
@@ThatFixItGuy I think it is the little backflow preventer thing. When we take it off it stops humming. None of the replacement ones at home depot fit though. The guy there said we have to replace the whole thing. We have another spigot that we use less often so I think we might just switch the backflow preventers and hope the other one doesn't start doing it also.
I've found Brian sometimes is you try tightening an object some it will make it loosen it up when you take it loose not every time but it has worked for me in the past

By removing a little dry wall on the inside and checking. My thought with this is always better safe than sorry.
I have watched a few of these. Yours is the simplest to understand. Thank you. Like/subscribed.

I got the picture you sent. Email me back if you have any questions on the info I sent. Hope you got it takin care of.
The same thing happened to me today and I'm here to find a solution to my problem. The other issue I have with this is it's in an extremely tight location and just can't put any tools on it and get leverage too!
Okay Paul Rodriguez
Who is Paul Rodriguez? I want to laugh about this too!

Your welcome! I don’t know if you want that my house is lacking yard maintenance right now.
Wow it was a good chance to seal that gap around the pipe, just to prevent water damage.
True. The overhang right there is quite big, but your right any chance you can seal a gap take it!
The backside of my outdoor spigot is behind my shower insert. So to get to it I would have to remove my shower insert I guess. Mine isn't leaking but it's making a horrible humming noise when the water is being used.
I would try repairing it. Maybe it can be repaired and you don’t have to get into the wall. New construction people never think about access.
@@ThatFixItGuy I think it is the little backflow preventer thing. When we take it off it stops humming. None of the replacement ones at home depot fit though. The guy there said we have to replace the whole thing. We have another spigot that we use less often so I think we might just switch the backflow preventers and hope the other one doesn't start doing it also.
Do you see marking on your spigot? Can I li email or Facebook me a picture?
@@ThatFixItGuy I messaged you on Facebook :)
How not to do it. Should be the name of the video
Please explain.
Great advise. Awesome information
So glad this could help. Thank you.
Good God dude get the right tools get a good pipe wrench on there channel locks are crap

I've found Brian sometimes is you try tightening an object some it will make it loosen it up when you take it loose not every time but it has worked for me in the past
Thank you!
