When enlarging the hole, often you can nest two hole saw bits together. The inner one being the size of the existing hole and the outer one being the size of the new hole. The inner bit acts as a guide.

I love the idea, but the proprietary nature of it would worry me. I think I would want to see the spigot piece open sourced to allow other companies to make the external components. That way, if the original manufacturer goes out of business, and I lose or break my spigot, I don't have to replace the whole assembly to be back in operation.

We built a custom home in 2022 and used the Aquor house hydrants for all of the exterior spigots. They are fantastic and I would never go back to a traditional spigot again.

[@andrewrohde2373]

I'm going to echo some other comments: Looks great and has some advantages, but I'm very skeptical about the plastic adaptor. Here in Arkansas the summer heat and sun are brutal on anything plastic. Having said that, I would readily buy three of these if the company offers a version with a metal adaptor. Otherwise, great video.

[@Sunshineandhydrangeas]

/agrees in Florida The humidity and heat in the Southern states is no joke. Anything plastic is prone to mold, mildew, and sun-bleaching. After a while, it will crumble into dust. I do like the look of it, but we also have the issue of not having any type of crawlspace or other type of access that I can see.

I owned a house from 2000 to last year. So, in 2007 I was washing my car and watering my small lawn in the front of the house. Beautiful sunny day in New York City. If I recall correctly, I had the water turned on for about an hour. I don't know what possessed me to go down to the basement when I was done, but as I walked half-way down the stairs, I saw a pool of water probably 2 or 3 inches deep. Long story short, it turns out the pipe through the wall had been put through the concrete and had cracked (which explained why I had water in the basement back in like 2001, but as there had been a deep pile carpet, I didn't see it at the time). My contractor redid everything and put the new pipe through the wood. So now I am in contract to buy a house and I'll keep this product in mind once I check out the spigot that's installed. Thanks for the review.

This is sweet! The freeze protection IS the angled install - it self-drains! Love that it's built-in that way!! Many freeze-free installs still fail because their install wasn't angled. Must say, I'd probably lose the fancy spigot during the winter. Update - my spigot is too low to work with that downward angled spigot. I'd be rooting in dirt to attach the hose. Hmm

Built a new house three years ago and installed these in the ground rather than coming out from the house. Plumbing is easy to manage as it is all in ground. Installed using 4 inch PVC filled with small pea gravel . Awesome system. Only caveat is the included straight adapters are not as good as the angled ones. And if you live in a warmer climate, the plastic valves expand to a point where they don't function as intended anymore. The solution is to get valve free angled adapters.

[@sjpropertyservices3987]

I live in a colder climate (Maine) and I recommend using spray foam where pipe comes through rim joist. Also recommend insulating all rim joists. I used a combination of spray foam, rigid foam board, and mineral wool at my residence. This is especially important wherever there are penetrations through the rim joist such as an exterior spigot, dryer vent, wiring, etc.

If they release the models for the mount point and allow their customers to create their own connectors instead of locking them into a proprietary market I'm all for it. This looks very convenient and useful, I just worry about the durability of the plastic tap. Even just actuating that valve I saw a lot of flex, I worry it will need frequent replacing unless you're extra careful with it. A metal option would also be nice, but I would still like the design of the connector to be open to the public for non-commercial use.

Looks great but I hate the idea of having to use adapters. I'm just fine with regular hose bib connections with cheap standard gaskets.

[@user-hm5zb1qn6g]

That's pretty cool. The way it's flush to the siding looks better. But also, if your frost-free fails, and you've got a 1/4-turn model it has to be entirely replaced. Have fun if your basement has a finished ceiling. This thing, the mechanism is removable. Brilliant.

Amazing. Simple, smart, brilliant. Thanks for sharing this.👍👍 People that poo poo this have flip phones, can't understand sending a text, hate adaptive cruise control and think records sound better than digital. (Ha!, can't wait to hear the comments)✌✌

For me, the freeze prevention is worth the price of admission.

[@weikeungtang6722]

Good idea if you worry someone easy to steal water.

[@Yay_you]

I love it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I want to up grade to one too😃👍🏽 Thank you so much for this video ❤️‍🔥🤙🏽

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! 🙌 I’ll stick with what already works.

[@keithviolette5870]

I'd be concerned about when you pull the hose to the right, does it pop out of the wall? Also, how durable is the plastic section? While the flap looks great, the faucet looks really cheap to me.

[@Bob_Adkins]

I don't think it would withstand the heat and UV in my area. Most plastic parts turn to dust in 2-3 years here.

[@1950Archangel]

No, it's a strong, deep 'screw-in' to turn it on. About an inch? Easy to do, but strong! I struggle a bit to 'un-screw' it with wet hands. VERY SOLID, not at all cheap feeling (or acting). I have the blue flap in the front (ties in with my front door and shutters...) and the gray one put back.

[@keithviolette5870]

@@1950Archangel thanks for answering my questions. I'll check them out soon. Too many other projects taking priority.

[@mc-sp8zr]

I think this is really slick, but that price point is probably going to be the biggest deterrent in purchasing one. Especially with the way we all have to manage our money these days. Definitely one of those "nice to have" kind of things, not really a necessity that you had to have.

[@mc-sp8zr]

@@stephen-ng Right, but you could DIY that solution for significantly less money.

[@gregorycampbell9967]

It's a nice idea. I would consider it when I need to make a change.

[@CLivingston-km9ew]

Love it! Leaky frozen Old School is out.

[@christopherdonald9001]

I generally hate proprietary products, but bought this one for the looks and I ended up loving it! The best part is I don't need those hideously ugly faucet covers in the winter.

[@johnossendorf9979]

Don't need covers with a the proper frost free hose bib and proper insulation for the conditions in your location. Apparently this includes Texas because hard freezes like the one in 2021 have happened before with in living memory, as in every thirty to forty years on average. Imagine, plumbing on the outside of the house 🙄😬🤭.

[@nossingo]

Ugh, it's proprietary, too? Straight into the trash!

[@95dodgev10]

I like mine and would like to install a second one. Only downside is they (like everything else) have gone up in price quite a bit in recent years. Not surprising as they're made from stainless which is already a more expensive metal and the price of all raw metal stock has gone up significantly affecting everything thats made from it.

[@gpetesr]

I like it Chris. Going to change my copper out. Ty.

[@YoUnOkNoWoK]

Wow never seen these before. It’s pretty amazing!

[@genericdude6551]

Interesting device. But having to buy more tools (like that spreading tool for the PEX) makes life more difficult trying to keep track of something that you'll rarely use.

[@adelkharisov]

You can rent the tool.

[@simon359]

I would change mine to this upgrade, but I’d have to tear out the drywall in the bathroom to do it. I don’t think it’s worth all the extra money in time. 🖖

[@calvinreichelderfer4922]

I like your video. I won’t replace my working outside faucets because they both work fine. I would choose these if I was building a new home.
