Frost Free Hose Bib Replacement in a Tight Space

What happens here

Begin by assessing the exterior hose bib. The existing hose bib is identified as a 10-inch model that is dripping. The plan is to replace it with a shorter 8-inch model due to tight space constraints on the interior. The interior access point reveals the copper piping connected to the hose bib with a soldered joint. The strategy is to cut the pipe behind this joint.

Goal: Identify the problem (leaking hose bib) and determine the replacement strategy based on interior access constraints.

So, I'm at my neighbor's again , and we're going to replace this leaky faucet. It started leaking a little more than before. This is a 10-inch faucet, and today we will install an 8-inch one. I'll show you why. The situation here is a bit complicated. Okay, let 's get up here. The tap itself is soldered there. You see this solder joint. I'm going to turn off the water. I'll cut it right in front of this solder joint . I'll clean everything there.
