A hose bibb, also known as a hose spigot or outdoor faucet, is a plumbing fixture that allows a hose to be connected for watering gardens, washing cars, or other outdoor tasks. Hose bibbs are typically installed on the exterior of a building and are connected to the water supply system.
Hose bibbs are designed to withstand outdoor weather conditions and are often made of brass, stainless steel, or other durable materials. They usually have a threaded outlet where a hose can be attached and a handle that can be turned to control the flow of water. Some hose bibbs also have a vacuum breaker to prevent backflow contamination of the water supply.
It is important to properly winterize hose bibbs in colder climates to prevent freezing and damage to the plumbing system. This may involve draining the water from the hose bibb and installing a frost-proof hose bibb, which extends further into the building to keep the water supply from freezing.
Hose bibbs come in various sizes and styles to fit different types of hoses and applications. They are a convenient and essential tool for outdoor maintenance and gardening.
