Installing An Outdoor Faucet That Will Never Freeze

I will walk you through the swap out of a standard outdoor spigot which is prone to freeze and can cause a massive water leak with a frost-proof outdoor spigot. Front-proof outdoor faucets or also called spigots are standard in any of the northern climates where the on/off valve is located well within the insulated wall. This is the type of repair you would like to make prior to having a huge problem during a cold snap in the winter.

Carlos is amazing and very good at explaining. I just watched his video on moving a spigot on his channel.
Thanks a bunch! Glad you found the videos helpful. Plumbing adventures can be a bit tricky, but we've got this! 😄🚿
Thanks, you explain very clearly 👍🏼
You bet!
Excellent video. Very informative. Well done!!
Loved the explanation and the video
Appreciate the feedback.
Very interesting. Thanks 👍
I live in Michigan and my spigot is just the regular one with a shut off inside about a foot and a half in. Shut off indoors but make sure you leave outside spigot open👍
Thanks for sharing your approach! It's important to prepare for the winter, especially in colder climates like Michigan. Leaving the outside spigot open is a good practice to prevent freezing. Stay warm! ❄🔧
Love this! Thanks
Appreciate you watching!!
Scott had mastered the art of presentation. Hopefully he hasn’t been shuffled off to parts unknown!
😁 don't worry I am not going anywhere. With that said I would like to bring on other creators to expand the topics we are covering. Thanks for the feedback 👍 Oh yeah and to be clear this is Scott 😁
@@EverydayHomeRepairs thanks, Scott! You’re crushing it and I look forward to Scott-videos now. Jeff has his work cut out for him! 😊
Excellent narrative.
Appreciate the comment .
I am so glad you added the shim. As you said, it is very important!
Haha, you caught it! After reviewing the footage, I was like, 'Oh no, the shim!' Went back and fixed it. Thanks for watching closely! 😄
Wow....someone who actually used solder. Plus 1 for that!
Nice! thanks.
Your very right. The Pro-press even though there good there is something about them I don't trust. I solder everything and I'm no plumber. Pro-Press for me would be easier. I know Pro-press saves time but the fitting are very expensive.
Nice video homie!
Glad you liked it! 😊👍
No introduction? Just some other guy talking? No thanks. Scott, you've won my trust and i subscribe to watch you. I have no issues with an occasional guest host, but i think an introduction is warranted.
Thanks for the feedback Andy, I'm not going anywhere but would like to bring on new creators that focus on the same DIY homeowner to help expand what we are doing. I appreciate the support.
I was surprised too but he was terrific! Please have him do more. Very easy to follow.
Thank you 👏🇨🇦
Thanks for watching.
I would not torque that down from the outside against a copper fitting inside like that. I prefer to solder after the female is on, but if not just mark the top on the other end with a marker and tighten with 2 wrenches inside
Great points! If you're soldering beforehand, removing the rubber valve is a must to prevent damage. And marking the top for proper torque inside is a handy trick. I've noticed that some manufacturers do place their stickers strategically for torque guidance. It's a helpful visual cue. Thanks for adding that detail to the conversation! 🔧
If your copper line is not braced you stand a good chance of pinching the line in two in between the wall. I ran into that problem and had to break the sheet rock to hold the other end of the copper line because the plumber did not secure it.
Awesome video. Do you have the exact model and name for this ?. I really need this. I am on the east side and guess what? My pipe blow up like a time bomb. Almost had a heart attack. Thanks again.
Thank you very much !
Thanks!
You Put The Tape On The Wrong Way. It Is Supposed To Go Clockwise With The End Of The Threads Facing You.
He is amazing at explaining this.
Thanks a bunch!!! I'm glad you appreciated the video.
Confused... where's Scott? Is this the wrong channel?
(edit: saw the comment below about "bring on other creators"... +1 on that because it made me discover a few other great creators, but maybe worth some kind of title card labeling this upfront? Here we barely get any reference to this creator's channel)
😁, thanks for the feedback. I will also probably do a dedicated video talking through the plans to expand what we are doing at Everyday Home Repairs. Thanks for the support.
Unfortunately this won't help when you have an exposed crawlspace. So I suggest those folks (like myself) work on insulating your exposed crawlspace pipes and enclose as much if the space as possible to hold in ambient warmth. Also, consider getting a freeze-stop device on the water main line coming into the house.
seems to have used sealant tape in the wrong direction
THAT'S why it looked weird when he was doing that. He didn't show us the part where the tape unwound as he screwed it into the female adapter 😑
@@LynyrdSkynyrd.4EverLOL we still got the point tho. Cmon cut him some slack.
I noticed that right away, either it's a reverse camera image or he did indeed wrap it in the wrong direction.
YES HE WRAPPED THE BLUE TEFLON TAPE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Oh, looks like my tape had a mind of its own that day! It must have been trying to escape the cold weather too. 😄 Thanks for catching that, and I promise I'll keep a closer eye on my rebellious tape rolls in the future! And even DIY videos can have their bloopers! 😅🌀
Living in Ohio, I've never heard of someone's pipe rupturing like this. I understand the concept, but am curious about the real relative risk even for a place that can get down to -10F every 5 years or so
It doesn't have to get to negative 10 F to have problems. Plenty of freeze-ups in the Pacific Northwest when we have an unusual 15 F for several days running.
@@Bigfoot14000 But is it that the water in the pipe is just frozen or that the pipe actually bursts? I'm just trying to understand the level of risk for my area and whether there's any appreciable risk reduction given the fact that I don't have even anecdotal evidence that anyone I know has ever had a ruptured pipe where this was the cause
Broken pipes for sure. Copper seems to be the most vulnerable, as it will freeze and split every few inches along its frozen length. @@fitztastico
Water expands when it freezes, and that will definitely burst a pipe. @@fitztastico
Live in the Detroit area. It’s never ruptured in 69 years. Not very worried now.
I expected a heated spigot.........
Or you can just install a single ball valve upstream of the outdoor spigot and inside the heated envelope...
And hopefully remember to close it and drain the hose bibb when necessary.
Yes, however many homeowners forget to shutoff and drain the lines for the winter.
Mine never freezes either. My method was to install it in Florida.
😂
He put the teflon tape on backwards. SMH
ATTENTION VIEWERS: He incorrectly wraps the threads in the WRONG direction (3:31). Do not follow his example. He wraps it backwards, with the “end” of the tape he tears off facing TOWARD (or into) the threads of what will be the female thread when he goes to assemble it. This will cause the tape to unwrap, bunch up, or tear off during installation.
Absolutely, when recording was focused on staying centered of the screen and didn't notice the tape direction. Thanks for understanding, and I'll make sure to be more mindful in the future. Appreciate your attention to detail!
@@DIYPlumbingGuy Otherwise, awesome video!
You should keep your day job
