This is an old hose bib notice that the copper is soldered into it. |
The above image is the hose bibs I sell they come from 6" 8" 10" 12" and 14" lengths Description of the frost free hose bibs. |
This is a prefabricated piece of copper with a female adaptor on it this comes in 12" length |
This is a special coupling that connects two pieces of copper together, with out needing any solder or heat, just push the copper in and twist. |
This is a compression coupling that connects two pieces of copper together with out needing any heat or solder just put it on the ends of the pipe and tighten the nuts. |
|
This 90 degree elbow is just like the special coupling, just push the pipe in to the fitting and twist. |
This is a prefabricated piece of pipe with a 90 degree turn on it. |
The item on the right of this image is a compression ball valve, if you want to add a shut off valve before your new frost free hose bib. |
In this image you see the piece of pipe with the female adaptor screws on to the new frost free hose bib, All hose bibs will be shipped with thread Teflon tape on the threads. |
If your old setup was a straight shot, no turns, all you will need is, the frost free hose bib, the pipe with the female adaptor on it and either the special coupling or the compression coupling. |

This is the same as the other, just with a compression coupling |
you just put the nuts and ferules on the pipe |
then put the body of the compression on the ends of the pipe. "why it may be better to use a compression fitting" |
Then just tighten the nuts. If you wanted to install a compression ball valve instead of the coupling it would work the same way. |
But sometimes there is no room for a straight shot, so you have to make an offset, this is why I have the prefabricated pieces of pipe with 90s on them. |
