How to Install a Freezeproof Faucet
A step-by-step guide to protecting your exterior faucets from freezing and bursting
Vedat Bilik attaches a frostproof outdoor hose faucet that delivers both cold and hot water,
a boon in the winter when dogs—or cars—need to be washed.
I think I have the perfect solution for you: a hot-and-cold wall faucet. You'll probably be using it fairly often in the winter,
so a frostproof version is a must; the valves actually shut off the water inside the house, so there's no danger of the faucet
Installing one is fairly simple. Most people take off the existing spigot and use its
line to supply cold water for the new faucet. Then they install a new hot-water line next to it.
To do that, you'll need a tubing cutter; a hole saw, to drill through the siding and sheathing;
enough tubing to reach an existing hot-water line; and a soldering kit or no-solder fittings.
Use a silicone sealant to keep water from getting behind the faucet, and make sure to add a dedicated shutoff valve inside
the house for the new hot-water line, in case of any future repairs.
