Exterior Hose Bib

The exterior hose bib is the outside faucet that you attach your hose to in the summer to water your garden or fill the bird bath. The hose bib is usually situated one to two feet above the ground and is linked to plumbing pipes and a valve inside the house.

Exterior Hose Bib

An exterior hose bib can have a couple of problems. The pipes leading from the bib should lead away from the house, not follow the outside wall, to avoid freezing in the winter. In addition, the opening for the hose bib should be tightly sealed and not have any gaps that allow heated air to escape.
