What happens here

Carefully thread the new spigot into the pipe connection. While threading, use the backup crescent wrench inside the wall to prevent the internal pipe from twisting. Once hand-tight, use channel locks to fully tighten the spigot. Tighten until it is snug and facing the correct direction, but avoid over-tightening as this can strip the threads or crack the fitting.

Goal: Securely attach the new outdoor spigot to the pipe

Tools and materials

  • Channel Locks — Tightening the new spigot
  • Crescent Wrench — Holding the internal pipe as a backup
