Thank you, finally someone actually shows replacing entire assembly and not just repacking the valves. I also appreciate your in-depth explanation on how you can tell if it’s a cracked pipe versus valving issues right up front.

thanks for a good video, but wondering why not just solder a female threaded connector inside and screw in the new faucet? Saves the valve from solder heat stress, only that one solder joint, and might save another sheetrock cut later.

Why not use the threaded connection so if this happens again they can just thread in a new spigot? Also did you measure the level and make sure it drains out? That is a critical step and that could be why it froze up in the first place.

Hey @Hammerpedia how did you know it was a sweat connection before cutting the drywall to see it? And along that same thought, is it possible to find out if you have a screw in without being able to see the line inside the house? (i.e behind drywall)

Excellent and informative - Thank you. My hose bib is leaking from the spindle when I turn it on EXACTLY as to your description of a burst pipe due to not disconnecting the hose BUT there is absolutely NO water coming into my inside wall where the housing passes through THANKFULLY. Frankly, I'm baffled. It's NOT coming from the packing nut. It LOOKS like it's shooting out from the holes in the spindle that turns (OPEN/CLOSE) within the housing of the hose bib assembly.

Bro--FWIW--I always use a big piece of white bread (no rust please!) to 'plug up' lines that have residual water in them before I solder. Like the line to your final coupling getting soldered. When done just turn on the water and the bread will liquify and disappear out the faucet when turned on.

Mine isn't like that at all. Under a crawl space where I can't pull the pipe out and what I have there's no pulling the pipe out so I have cut the pipe where it is and try to install one where there's soldering.

My original spigot enters the basement JUST BELOW the plywood subfloor of the level above. This prevents me from achieving any kind of slope away from the home. In this situation, would I still a new hole, lower than the original spigots penetration, and then fill in the original penetration?

I'm dealing with a Arrowhead hydrant with a leaky stem that is threaded on the inside as well as the outside. There is a 90 degree elbow attached to it with threads on the hydrant side and a soldered coupling to a copper pipe on the other end. Ideally I just need to replace the stem but there are no stem kits for the length hydrant so I need to purchase the whole thing. Theoretically I should be able to unscrew the old hydrant but it's tricky as I don't want to apply force to the elbow. Alternately I could just strip the stem out of the new hydrant and leave the existing body in place. I am still deciding what the best approach is.

Wait....so....should you not try to future proof that as much as possible for easier disassembly going forward? As a homeowner, I feel as though you should have utilized a different connection method(if it exists) for if ever the home owner is in this situation again. Now if it happens, the cutting procedure has to occur all over again. Is there not a design that us as homeowners can use that can just unscrew?? I noticed that there is threading on the pipe of the spigot, so that hints to me that there is. How come you didn't use that??

What if in the future the housing (the whole hose unit), has to be replaced AGAIN? When you unscrew it from the wall and the water connection I would HAVE to believe a SOLDERED connection vs. a SHARK BITE connection would be less likely to leak when you're done. No?
