Saw this on This old House years ago. Was impressed, but forgot about it. Now I’m at a point that I do need to replace some outdoor faucets and I’m so glad you reminded me of them!

[@SilverCymbal]

I was in a hardware store one day here and I saw Rich Trethewy, and he was in the plumbing section! First time I ever saw a star down this way.

[@PanchoPringles]

I saw these a few months ago and have decided to put them in on a new home build. Love the sleek look and function.

[@SilverCymbal]

If I was building a new place I would definitely use them too for any outdoor faucets. If you have young kids like me the added benefit is that I can CONTROL them messing with the faucets when I want. I can even leave the hose out there but they can't turn the water on and leave it on endlessly! Many good reasons for these and they they don't cost much more. If you are even worried about them breaking 30 years later you could even buy a spare body to be 100% covered for future proofing.

I am happy to see this. My hose bibs are all loose so I am going to have them replaced in the spring.

[@35057]

Remember.... on cape cod wood rusts. Love the instal and I love clean plumbing and modernizing my house. 😎😎

[@SilverCymbal]

Definitely. I have always had a weird obsession with stainless steel stuff too. I love boat fittings and how nicely made they are. This is built exactly like that. If this waas sold at West marine it would probably cost $350

[@CP-rm7rz]

@@SilverCymbal +1 for stainless anything ....including fasteners

[@NeilWatkinsfromaccounting]

I love it, and I might do it because my outdoor faucet is A. Not frost free (and I live in the North) and B. It looks like a great piece of equipment that has some real thought and engineering put into it. I really like it when companies don’t just settle for the status quo, but try to improve on something even if it’s “good enough.” Also, a recommendation from This Old House is like the solid gold seal of approval. What more does one need?

[@SilverCymbal]

If you have ever bought boat hardware the quality of the construction of this is similar to that, very well made. It seems even overbuilt which is fine with me!

[@NeilWatkinsfromaccounting]

Silver Cymbal Yes! That heavy stainless steel construction should last for quite a long time. I’d rather it be overbuilt than built for replacement in 10 years.

[@dirtrider88]

if your to stupid to go into the basement and shut the faucet off for the winter then im not sure this product will help you..

[@NeilWatkinsfromaccounting]

dirtrider88 well aren’t you sweet? I’m going to have a hard time shutting it off in the basement. I’ve been here 8 years and haven’t found a basement yet. Guess I’ll just keep looking because of your stellar advice.

[@dirtrider88]

@@NeilWatkinsfromaccounting if theres no basement then there's a shut off somewhere else in the house. If you live in the US keep looking, especially if you live where it gets below freezing

I was hoping this video would show how to replace an existing outside tap

[@patricktheplumber5482]

With a half inch line coming off of pex you will have very low water volume for hose use ! Nice install job but definitely want to do that a little differently if your looking for a high volume - pressure hose bib . But honestly very good job and great video I like this product .

[@rcronin1]

this is awesome! thank you so much. I've never heard of this before as always great video - you do a terrific job of teaching us about new things 😁

[@HeavyMetalLawnsAndLandscapes]

Great design on that product. Thanks for the continued relevant content.

[@SilverCymbal]

Thanks for watching!

[@petermcsharry]

Great video. I looked at these last year when I had to replace an outdoor faucet. I chose to use a traditional one because 1) the flat back looked a bit too large to install on a stone veneer wall....I would have had to cut some stone out and install a matching flat face from the stone veneer collection - similar to what's used for outdoor receptacles, 2) I worry about the possibility that 10-20 years down the line I may not be able to buy replacement "plug" pieces if the company goes out of business, and 3) those plug pieces look like plastic and might snap right off if pulled sideways. I wonder why they don't have those pieces made of metal.

[@SilverCymbal]

Not getting one of these is certainly OK. They used Delrin plastic for these which is incredibly strong so I wouldn't expect any issues there. But 20 years from now who knows? But remember these fittings exist in the Marine world already so I think you will see them for a long time.

[@ghassaniamir8139]

"you might want to buy for each of your hoses" i bet my hoses love when something sticking out of their end

[@kairu.kun.z]

I was gonna say to take it one step closer to just add metal quick disconnects to all your hoses/attachments. But you covered that at the last second ha.

[@tooshieg2059]

I'm loving your outdoor kitchen! Where's the video on that?

[@hustlindaddiy5194]

Quality video as always. This product is pretty unique.

[@SilverCymbal]

Thank you

[@pedroguzman5608]

Love the video, will be buying the system for my house. Do you have video on how to build the island or materials used? Awesome.

[@SilverCymbal]

I appreciate that. I wasn't doing KZbin then but i I did take some pictures. I am not a wood worker at all and considering my poor skills in that area it was easy to build and has held up well over 4 years. The key for me was getting almost all the items used and making it all fit what I got. I can see what I can do about a video and take you through it

[@sergeyb8]

Best feature is that you don't need to shut off water for the winter 👍

[@SilverCymbal]

Very true! We can use that in New England for sure

[@eosjoe565]

Wouldn't the water lines inside that outdoor cabinet freeze fairly quickly? I mean, that PEX hose runs up hill so it's not going to drain.

[@sergeyb8]

@@eosjoe565 Yes but in his case he must winterize it just like the sprinkler system - compressed air blowing water out. I was talking house install.

[@eosjoe565]

@@sergeyb8 Ah... ok. That makes sense.

[@imark7777777]

I love how everybody I've seen touts the antitheft feature, I mean if your neighbors weren't going to pay for water and steal from you I would probably just go online and order the fitting themselves or dig up and cut into your waterline. See that's a lot with electricity theft. Then there's the frost free claim and the water saving claim. If you don't disconnect the hose the same thing happens with the frost free spout. Whether that be cold weather or use.

[@Cuz789]

So everything is made of stainless steel except the part that is going to be pulled in every which way when handling the hose?

[@SilverCymbal]

Correct, remember it's Delrin and you might not be a plastic nut like I am but Delrin is good stuff, nothing like the plastic that most things are made of

[@alfredosalazar526]

Don’t like how many companies there are for plumbing parts makes it difficult to replace Or fix cause so many companies use different designs with special tools!

[@jakew7674]

Yet again another great video👍

[@SilverCymbal]

Glad you enjoyed it Thank you

[@nite82hawk]

Can you do a video on the best quick disconnects for hoses?

[@im3mp]

[@dethdriver1974]

As always a fantastic review and recommendation. You wouldn't happen to have a video on that outdoor kitchen plumbing you installed?

[@mikemallery913]

With a wife and kids our hoses and sprayers get moved and misplaced, how would we ever keep track of the adapter, and plastic? If it’s not brass you might as well buy a box of them - to replace when they r lost and/or break

[@SilverCymbal]

Generally you leave it on each hose

[@Boyo1956]

My only concern are the plastic connections that go into the main unit.

[@SilverCymbal]

I thought so too but when you handle them in person they are super dense plastic. Nothing like normal hose connections. I don’t think you will see them break easily at all.

[@BeardedApe]

Darn Smart!!! Love it

[@antoniospanayiotou8619]

love your work.

[@paulwasacz3318]

What has your experience been with the plastic male fitting with the two O-rings that plugs into the wall mounted receptacle? Is there any way to protect that end so if you drag the hose around you don’t damage the O-rings or get the fitting dirty so that it won’t connect or seal? That’s the only issue I see with this system.

[@SilverCymbal]

That's a great question, they only need one o-ring the second is there for redundancy. I have only use these for a few months now without issues but they have been around for 5+ years and seem to doing very well out there. Based on my limited exposure and what I see online I think these hold up very well.

[@NaimeshPatelDeviravi]

I replaced my existing faucet with this one, but now I can't drain the pipe. I have off switch in the basement and if I turn it off the water does not drain. I have 20ft of pvc line that will freeze? What can I do?

[@le8971]

I may be doing a follow up video on that. Would you be more interested i seeing a copper plumbing one replaced or PEX?

[@le8971]

@@SilverCymbal Whatever u showed in your video. Thanks.

[@brucebuell7528]

How do you replace your existing fossit with this

[@SilverCymbal]

When it doubt cut it out :) You would just cut the original out, remove it and the Aquor may fit in the existing hole or you may need to enlarge it slightly. Depending on your plumbing, you will need to solder, use sharkbites or use PEX connectors as I did here

[@SilverCymbal]

@An Appeal to Heaven Yes that is a good tip!!!!!

[@Elizabeth.402]

Now I know that you probably don’t use a commercial mower on your relatively small lawn, but we own 20 acres of yard we have to keep up, and we use a commercial mower for that. It’s a 2008 scag, and we were thinking of replacing it sometime soon, any good recommendations for a commercial mower?

For 20 acres of grass, speed is going to be essential. You might consider Cub Cadet I just reviewed and mowed a huge space with, VERY fast: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3jEoYVtgMt5paM

Happens all the time. they use your water when you aren't home, leave it on the vandalize your place, etc. Bad stories online about it. Guy turns your handle open, you don't notice for 24 hours and your basement floods out and you get a $2000 bill.

[@MICHIGANMIKE12]

Looks good but plastic fittings? Whoa.. stripped threads in a year or so and what about freeze protection? Nice outdoor kitchen too but you must live in a southern climate where stuff does not freeze up...

[@TheGomezIndustries]

Wow, looks like something that will leak and break after a year.

[@georgef5728]

Is probably lose the damn plastic pieces.

[@GrayLensman51]

No thanks... Reason why... If the water is actually that close to the outside of the house for just a twist on connection, there's gonna be a lot of frozen faucet failures in colder climates. The water valve cutoff point needs to be inside the wall in relative warmth not just an inch or two for convenience.

[@SilverCymbal]

Good news. You will be happy to know that the actual sealing portion is in the threaded fitting you saw in the video, not in the exposed end. So that won't happen. There is a rod inside that connects it together. They actually just approved them in Canada too so you can be sure its pretty cold up there.
