What happens here

This project details the process of replacing an old or faulty outdoor spigot (hose bib) with a new one. It involves creating internal access to the pipe, carefully removing the old spigot while supporting the internal plumbing, preparing the new spigot with thread sealant, installing and tightening it, and finally restoring water supply and checking for leaks.
