Hose Bibs

Hose Bibs—or outdoor faucets—are key for any home, providing easy water access for gardening, lawn care, and car washing. Crafted from durable, weather-resistant material, our outdoor faucet range ensures you’ll find the right hose bib to redefine water flow efficiency and no-hassle operation. At Sprinkler Warehouse, you’ll find hose bibs and sillcocks in brass, stainless steel, and bronze, with various connection options and push-to-connect fittings for simplified installation.

Types of Hose Bibs

At Sprinkler Warehouse, you’ll see that many of our outdoor faucets have different shut-off methods. Oval handles, T-handles, and quarter-turn handles function slightly differently, but all of these are still standard hose bibs. Another common type of outdoor faucet is the freeze-resistant hose bib. In cold climates where pipes may freeze, these sillcocks use a longer faucet with a shut-off valve inside the home to prevent freezing. Anti-siphon hose bibs include a built-in backflow preventer to stop contaminated water from flowing back into the home’s supply.

Hose Bib FAQs

Can I replace an outdoor faucet myself?

Yes, you can replace a hose bib by yourself if you have basic plumbing skills and the right tools. Start by shutting off the water supply and removing the old faucet with a wrench. For threaded connections, wrap Teflon tape around the threads, then screw the new faucet in tightly. For soldered connections, cut and clean the pipe, then solder the new fitting in place.

How do I prevent my hose bib from freezing in the winter?

The best thing to do in cold climates is to shut off the water supply or let it drip if there isn't a shut-off valve available. You can also add pipe insulation or install a hose bib cover to protect the faucet from freezing air. For a long-term solution, consider upgrading to a frost-free hose bib.

Why is my hose bib leaking?

Some of the most common reasons for a leaking outdoor faucet are a loose packing nut, a crack, or a loose/damaged pipe connection. Loose pipes and packing nuts can be tightened, but if you have any cracked or worn-out pieces, consider ordering a replacement and covering the damaged area with Teflon tape in the meantime.
