How to remove a spigot
By the way, we'll be showing you also how to replace the old gate valve with a newer more modern 1/4 turn ball valve. These types of hose bibbs are much more reliable than standard gate valve hose bibs. So, you need a hose bib repair, and you realize it is time to replace that old hose faucet and perform a full hose bib replacement. So, if you want to know how to remove a hose bib, this video will show you how to remove a spigot in preparation for installing a hose bib.
This is a big problem for people buying a house and the home inspector finds the damaged hose bibb. This can be a major problem for people if they can't operate their hose an d water their garden; they don't know how to solder a hose bib to replace the old hose bib.
How to install hose bib
Your first task is with installing a hose bib to remove the hose spigot from the copper pipe. If you have sweat on/solder on hose spigot, you must use a torch to heat up the old hose bibb until the solder melts and you can use the pliers to remove the hose bib from the copper pipe. And that is how to remove a hose spigot from the copper pipe. Once that old hose faucet is off the pipe, it’s time to prep the new parts for the hose bib installation.
How to solder a hose bib
We’ll also show you the proper way to solder hose bib assemblies onto the copper pipe as part of your project to replace hose bibs. This is How to replace a hose bib with minimal effort. When you replace hose spigot valves, you must sand down the copper pipe, and clean the inside of the hose bib opening where it connects onto the copper pipe. Now we move on to how to install hose bibbs.
Around these parts, we don't fix hose bibs, we replace hose bibs.
Replace water hose spigot
Next, you replace garden hose spigot with the new hose spigot. So, first replace hose bib. Here you’ll learn how to solder hose bib valves on the main water pipe coming out of the wall as you replace spigot. Soldering hose bib is the method we use to attach the hose bib to the copper pipes. That is how to install hose spigot valves onto copper pipes.
After you replace garden hose spigot
Now you know how to remove a spigot, and how to install hose spigot, and then how to solder hose bib onto the copper pipe. Now you can help your friends with installing a hose bib. This is hose bib installation made easy, and you'll be bale to show them all about soldering hose bib. Good luck with your hose bib replacement.

I do a lot of my own repairs at home. Widowed and no kids to help, so I get a lot of jobs to do that I've never done before. Thank you for this video. I have a 'quarter turn' type outdoor faucet. Today it was leaking so badly I could fill an outdoor rain barrel in about an hour and a half! That's a bad leak! I was hoping to find information on how to replace my type of faucet, and only saw older type faucet videos, until I found yours! Yeah!!! I'll be working on my faucet in the morning, and I won't need to do any soldering, but only replace the quarter turn portion on mine. Since I had never done this before, I wanted to be sure I found a video that gave me all the information I needed to do it right. Thanks so much! I subscribed as I have to do repairs on all sorts of things from time to time, and it helps to know where to go to find the information. I may even change out my other faucets as the house is 35 years old and I imagine the faucets could use some attention after all this time. One question -- Do you have videos on determining if a faucet is leaking behind a wall? I am not sure if I have an issue, only that the water sounds really strong in my kitchen when I turn the faucet on outside. NO signs of water, but I get concerned that there may be a leak and I can't see it. I'd love to see a video on determine the location of a leak of this kind. Thanks again!!😌

[@jeffostroff]

Awesome glad to help and welcome aboard

[@loudawg4473]

Thanks for the detailed video! I tried to disconnect my water hose from the spigot and the entire thing snapped off! I found your video, bought the parts at Home Depot, and voila, I had a new spigot! The soldering was a little tricky for me, but I got it done. Thanks, again! 👍

Yup, I wonder how many people forget to turn off the main water before they pop a bathroom vanity shut off valve off the pipe. I've gotten a few good laughs watching those KZbin videos with gushers, and watching them try to hammer a Shark Bite end cap on, rather than going to shut off the water.

[@jeffostroff]

Thanks for coming back for more!

[@barleyhops38]

@@jeffostroff I did, and still can't find the answer to my question though. I have screwed on a 2 way to my spigot and cannot get it off the threads. I own a brick house, and that hose bibb/spigot type has the back of the spigot IN THE mortar. I haven't called a plumber yet as was researching what to do. Is best way to know to send photos to a plumber? I wish I could know how to get that 2 way thingy uncrewed from the spigot but another neighbor made it worse when he forced it even more righty tighty!

[@jeffostroff]

@BarleyHops The 1st thing I would try is a pair of channel lock pliers because they can Clamp down onto the hose nut That is Stuck on that thread. And somebody with enough strength should be able to loosen that. If that doesn't work you can try applying heat by putting a torch on it for just a few seconds and see if there's any expansion that. Then after That I would try PB Blaster Which is A penetrating lubricant. WD40 will not work here because it is not a lubricant although many people think that it is. If that fails then you can get a Dremel and try to gently slice off the hose nut just cut a couple of slits into it enough that you can pry off the rest of it and get it off of the threads without cutting all the way through to the threads. It's all of Those efforts fail to produce the desired outcome, then you will have to bring in a plumber And you Me end up having to chisel into the wall.

[@jeffostroff]

A fun Saturday in the works

[@steveandrushko75]

@@jeffostroffyeah lots of fun hey from what I saw on the video it looks like you don't have to put the male adapter on the valve tighten it up then put it on the pipe to line it up so the valve ends up facing down mark it and take the valve off ? I'm concerned that it will not if I don't

[@CW-qt1qv]

Good video. Thanks. I'm still looking for this same operation but with the pipe in a block wall with no access from inside. Have to chip away the concrete on the outside and redo?

[@Smedley61]

Awesome video! We've got hose bibs that appear to be soldered to a copper stub sticking out from our stucco home, unanchored. I'm assuming I should be able to find something that will allow me to anchor the pipe to the home after I fit the threaded adapter and new hose bib.

[@jeffostroff]

If the pipe is just sliding in and out of a hole in the wall, then after you solder on the new spigot, just get a tube of PL Adhesive 3X on the paint aisle, and fill in the gap all the way around the air gaps in there the pipe comes through the wall, then by next day when it cures hard, it won't move at all.

[@jimmymeetsworld464]

That's great, thanks! I will take out the old school rubber plunge and replace it with the ball joint 1/4 turn. Never thought about it but the male adapter thread for future replacements if needed. Great shout out on the dripping faucet, that is what brought me here! Lol 1. I have used white bread (no crust) to hold back water. Is this method a good or bad one? Keep in mind I do not show an entire slice up there, just a bit so it can dissolve.

[@jeffostroff]

Jimmy we used the bread trick a few times, it works great, just remember to flush the bread out of the pipe afterwards.

[@jimmymeetsworld464]

@@jeffostroff Wish I could show a photo of b4 n after but I ended up using Sharkbites for a no weld replacement and 2ft of 1" copper tubing. And I know you might have those in another video but I just wanted to let you know that your welding techniques are fantastic, I just ended up going with this. What is your opinion on those slip type fittings? Feet piping replacement ended up being a great job. Everything is watertight and fits perfectly. Best part if something goes wrong, I just get my horse shoe release clip out and just adjust, replace or fix the issue. Quick fix. Jimmy

[@graceland75]

JEFF, Once again Thank you, I was buying Shark bite products just to avoid an over priced plumber or doing this.

[@jeffostroff]

Awesome, glad you found this video useful! Shark bites are OK for temporary, use but I always feel nothing beats a tried and true soldered connection. But at least if the shark bite leaks, it would be outside. I would never place a shark bite inside a wall.

i repiped my house and ran 400 feet of copper through the attic and have a lot of practice sweating over 160 joints. i learned from a master plumber to keep water away, take white bread and stuff it in the pipe to keep the joint dry. in your case i would tske a reciprocating saw and cut the front part of the spigot off to gain access to use the bread trick. it is faster than vacuuming out the water. good video though

@@jeffostroff Thanks, that is the one I bought. Because of your video I was able to get the old soldered joint off and solder on the new fitting. The store didn't have a hose bibb in that size, so I ended up using a sillcock. Is there any downside to that, other than the flange?

One major issue with this vid and that is it's rarely that easy to take the spigot off of that copper pipe. In fact it's usually HELL! Can you imagine a spigot being on a copper tube for 10, 20, 30 plus years. You bet - it's practically fused together and many times almost impossible. This vid seems like the best case scenario and it's not realistic. Taking that spigot off, if it's been on there a long time, is HELL to get off. Overall a very good instructional video,

[@pearljam6976]

Hey my dad and are tryimg to remove a soldered hose bib but steam is coming out of the spigot and the seal does not seem to losen. We already tried vacuuming out the water for 2-10 minutes. How long should we keep the shop vac on to completely drain it?

[@jeffostroff]

If the water is still running when you stop vacuuming, you'll have to try to open up some faucets, find a lower spot in the house where there is another valve. But if that does not help try shutting off the water at the curb, or try the bread trick, which we cover in this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXvbeJamrsd5rNk

We cut off the water main by the street, because the house main shutoff was still allowing water to leak. Typical cheap garbage valves that builders were using in 1993.

⁠@@scholasticbookfair.…. Who better than to show you how to repair something than an “old” person? At least you know it will be done properly. Heaven forbid a millennial has to install a new toilet seat …. Oh no… 😢

@@NEILZEE11 what does that even mean? I'm not a millennial and I just don't like complainers.

@@scholasticbookfair. …. Hey, you’re the one who mentioned “old people”. Besides the annoying music, the plant was in the way 😊

I only use 50/50 Lead/Tin. Nothing on earth solders as good as that stuff.

[@jeffostroff]

Except they don't allow it anymore. Lead free is the way to go, and it still makes a good solder connection.

[@deedeelowe-deedee.abrahamz3682]

Could hardly hear you... the background music and ambient noise is too much so I couldn't watch. Try and use music for times without dialogue.

We have much better camera, lapel mics, and post processing technique snow that began 2 months after this video with $5000 investment in pro gear, so all our newer how to videos if you look in our videos tab, are much better 4k video and audio quality.

Instead of insisting to keep flame low and under pipe I think made the job much longer then spose to be I would move Falme all over the pipe not just holding uner and hoping top will eventually heated up to .

[@jeffostroff]

I'd rather hear the real noise (of the torque and others) instead of the stupid music. Other than that it's great video.

[@jeffostroff]

Thanks for the feedback David!

[@thelawofatraction]

The only thing you could have done better is shown us a list of everything needed for the job. I didn't catch what the thing is called to smooth the pipe nor do I know what flex is. Also the total cost of all the items would be helpful

[@petewright6507]

The background music made some of this impossible to hear.
