How to replace an outside spigot / garden faucet

When a spigot leaks through the wall or leaks b itself there might be a chance that you need to replace that outdoor spigot.
Garden faucets are installed in every house and the replacement is pretty similar no matter what type of faucet you have.

An Outdoor Faucet broke inside the wall⁉

I was able to change out my faucet after watching this video. One thing, when I realized I wasn’t making progress twisting it off from the outside of the house, I went into the crawl space and realized I needed to take a channel lock and pliers to unscrew it at the connector so I wouldn’t twist the copper pipe. So I’d say to be aware of that. Saved a lot of money I am sure. Then I had to also work on my air conditioner and fixed that too the same night! LoL.

Thanks for the instructions. Two spigots have been installed successfully, without any other issues. From Texas.

Older homes you need to be prepared to use a pipe wrench due to all the lime and calcium deposit around the thread. Most likely the job won't go as smooth as this video shows.

This video saved me a bunch of money and I got the satisfaction of DIY! Thanks.

Looks very simple but be aware this procedure works fine as long as the female receiver in the crawlspace is very securely anchored to prevent the pipe in crawlspace to twist or kink and break. Careful with this procedure.

This is a very good video, however, you should add how to determine the size of spigot, ie; 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch.

Harris Plumbing just tried to charge me over $900 to do this. I told them thank you very much and have a nice day. Freaking insane

You're the only video ive watched where the service line isnt secured with a wrench, is it necessary to secure the service line before unscrewing the spigot or is it just an extra step for liability that companies take? I ask because i dont want to cut into my drywal to get to the other side of my spigot.

Warning! You have to know whether the copper pipe is corroded or otherwise weakened so that turning the spigot would break away from the copper pipe. Also, how do you know whether it is threaded or soldered ahead of time?

Remember. 1st try replacing the washer. Usually that's all you have to do to stop a drip.

I’m looking this up because my apartment complex has a hose to wash cars and I can’t comprehend how they leave a broken hose faucet for months without replacing seeing how easy this is

The only problem for
Me is I’m not sure if I’m going to break the copper pipe inside which I have no access unless I cut the wall or something … any suggestions for that?

Thank you you've simplified this so much and I thought it was going to be a real chore but it's easy even a woman can do it... As you know we can do almost anything❤❤❤❤

My house was built in 2001, brick veneer. Is it likely that the faucets use threaded fittings? I've never replaced a faucet, but I just assumed that the piping would have been soldered.
