| 14 hours ago | comment | added | HABO | If the copper pipe is shown where it passes through the rim joist then you ought to get a longer frost-proof hose bib. The interior length is what moves the valve into the warm(er) interior space and allows it to pick up enough heat to avoid freezing. Yours also doesn't benefit from a run of copper pipe conducting heat to the valve. PVC won't do that. FWIW, I splurged a little when I replaced two bibs and installed combination shutoff/drain valves to make maintenance easier. Less expensive than I expected. | |
