Solder a female adapter and use the threads

[@unkulwilly]

better yet, solder on a male adapter.

[@americanrroyalty]

@@unkulwilly yes this is the right answer

[@DDgngsta13]

These are designed to be either solder or threaded. Either way works.

[@__Justin__.]

​@@DDgngsta13for future failures either a male or female adapter would be best. You keep cutting pipe and you'll be crawling under the house adding footage.

[@otisbigsby]

@@DDgngsta13yeah but it’s not the best method.

[@cawesthaver]

I/2 female adapter and approved backflow connection.

[@derekmcdowell2547]

Frost free would be better obviously but if winterized properly would be fine, try soldering on a 1/2” copper female easier to instal and or change down the road 👍

[@JCPerez-jz5cv]

What if he's not in a place where temperature gets low enough to freeze?

[@maxschmelling9964]

@@JCPerez-jz5cv then it doesn’t matter obviously

[@JCPerez-jz5cv]

@Max Schmelling no kidding lol

[@homesteadhaven2010]

​@JCPerez-jz5cv From what I see in the video I can say. This person is a southern redneck. Lmfao.

[@malcolm8564]

Nothing about the whole arrangement looks right.

[@TuckerDale89]

Nah, he’s a 😢building expert

[@pancheeta]

The solder polish is a nice touch 👍

[@petersipp5247]

Always apply solder on the bottom...First. Then wipe the solder from top to bottom...both sides. Then the joint is 100% leak proof. This I and 5 apprentices did on 25,000 + 1/2" copper pipes. The 5 had never soldered b4.

[@shaun2222]

Hopefully you are in a warmer climate.

[@lindamastropietro4429]

Why is it sticking out so far from the building? Isn’t there a danger of freezing in the winter?

[@housbinpharteen7445]

not if you turn off the water valve from the inside and open the outer valve a bit

[@MM-cg8cg]

Don't you drain it off before winter comes?

[@kenlorenz4758]

why solder the hose bib on and not a fitting to thread the Bible onto. It would make replacement easier in the future

[@juanledesma7954]

You are right!!! I solder a female adapter and easy to replaced for the future

[@karlmiller7500]

I agree, always use a copper male adapter not female, female adapters stretch out.

[@slicktmi]

Job security

[@sambocap]

Did you end up sealing that gap between the pipe and block? Possible air/moisture leakage unless I’m wrong

[@PartTimeYooper]

There is a whole lot going on. The very intricate mounting area with possible d edge or gutter apron turned flashing kick out, the very nice piece of LP, or the not using a frost free spigot in 1st place.

[@rustywalters80]

What if you only have 3/4 inch length copper hanging out? He has about 2 inches

[@saberxzero]

Okay so im a plumber. Not a fan of gate valves butu know whatever. A better way would be to have ue hole going inside empty, you solder your spigot on a feet of pipe n push it inside so ur spigot is closer to the wall(also higher quality spigot come with pre finising that u just screw it in and it looks better) once ur inside u solder a coupling. Also you can see in the solder u heat the solder too much, give the fitting time to heat up its brass i takes a bit longer but it will give a stronger joint. Anyways good job keep working bud!

[@languso13]

People pleasee use quarter turn ball valves, the packing on these go bad out the box ...

[@slicktmi]

Right! The only ones to use whether outdoor bib or indoor angle stop!

[@dixienormus6167]

Wish I would have read this comment yesterday 😩

[@TheGreatQbert]

These have a larger opening so they let more water through. I use these all the time and the rubbers last 10 years or so.

[@George-yd7cx]

​@@dixienormus6167if you did how would you put your garden hose on a ball valve 😂

[@alec1113]

Is that a lead-free fitting ?

[@carlfagan8747]

Hahaha this man is winding me up

[@DuyDepTraiPhoBaTrieu]

My hose bib is so old how do I remove it?

[@bleez4779]

Excellent solder work, but if I see threads why don’t I see a 1/2” fip

[@vietnamfoodonly6685]

May I ask what chemical do you use to apply on the copper pipe and use molten copper wire?

[@KTravelet1]

It’s called flux. Otay #5 (petroleum based)!is what you want.

[@nickhollyoak9023]

Why are you soldering a compression fitting?

[@jamesbrockey4871]

Sticks out to far? At least put an echon on it?

[@McWeldShit]

Solid work!

[@rickyricardo5456]

Pregunta que hago, yo puedo conectar la misma pieza pero en Sharkbite sin soldar para afuera en la yarda????

[@scottlarsen8788]

Why would you not use a ball valve? Or at least a frost free setup.

[@noahclark802]

Sweat a female adapter first then thread the hose bib onto the female adapter

[@weekendhomeprojects]

That's a good looking silcock you got there.

[@vincely7756]

He forget the wall cover

[@housbinpharteen7445]

good eye

[@chrisviolette8991]

Cant get a fip fitting?

[@jessehickman668]

I always worry when I’m sweating ball valves thinking ima melt the seat

[@jasonyoung8607]

Someone better oil, base prime, those edges, or that’s gonna rot

[@michaelbee8263]

A bib? It’s a tap right?

[@jimpie231]

Nice job, but, not a freeze proof faucet! Jim

[@Grrrnthumb]

It's kind of silly to assume just because you are in a freeze climate that he is too.

[@yaserocky]

Why?

[@George-yd7cx]

Next time drill the hole with a 9/16 or 5/8 at the most drill bit

[@jdorffer]

Great job, finally someone didn't wipe the finished joint with flux,

[@mikejordan6036]

Why? Is that bad to do so? It does make the job alot neater looking

[@scottmayle1955]

Clean

[@you.had.it.coming]

I would of installed a mip or fip so your customer can replace it on his own later

[@b3arwithm3]

Back idea. Install a female adapter instead

[@wileecoyote5749]

Use a ball valve as well shark bite. 20 second install the most

[@bradhaenitsch1145]

Shark bites are for pussys

[@caseyschmidt6532]

I dislike being called back to customers house to drain the frost free for the winter. like come on.

[@jacksonlee3915]

Sodering a compress You pay extra for that haha

[@robtreibel766]

This doesn't look like shit at all.

[@josephbifulco]

Nice, but cover that hole!

[@Rxbandit421]

And here kids you’ll see a common hack

[@jstoledo27]

Why not put a real hosebibb and have it mounted flush instead of it looking like crap.

[@kajekage9410]

2023 and still doint shyt like that.

[@koreypeters4160]

Sticks out too much

[@davedave6010]

Isn't soldering illegal or isn't it going to become illegal? Honestly u don't understand why

[@ryanisham]

It's not illegal and it's not gonna be becoming illegal it's integral to several industries one of which is electronics and another is HV air conditioning. Lead solder however is illegal to use in plumbing However this looks to be silver solder so everything here is legal and will stay so for the foreseeable future

[@davedave6010]

@@ryanisham the worst fact about lead solder in Electronics is that it was done for nature but now the factories need to heat up the solder 100°C more than usually so it's probs worse for the nature than it used to be

[@ryanisham]

@@davedave6010 yea that's true but not a whole lot we can do because it's still the solder that's better for nature in the upfront and none of the policy makers want to think about the long run when it comes to things like that

Ball valves last alot longer than a washer!

[@licensetochill79]

If you're getting that valve hot enough to where you think you're going to melt something you don't know how to solder

[@dogwalker666]

Use a compression fitting.

[@022v-mustang]

Oh yes the two different metals weld so it will leak down the line or just bye the right parts and do it right once smh 😂

[@ricksanchez6411]

No anti syphon

[@dellcargill5698]

Why don’t they ever make it flush with the wall?

[@einlehrling]

I think its in case you want to replace it to have a bit spare And that the water flows not directly to the wall

[@justinjohnson6251]

The fitting is intentionally made with the inside diameter correct for soldering on to 1/2 pipe. It's a correct application, if you prefer solder there.
