Frost Free Hose Bib Replacement in a Tight Space

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Working from the interior, use the Milwaukee M12 PEX expander gun to expand one end of the cut PEX A pipe (with the PEX ring already on it). Quickly slide this expanded end onto the male fitting of the new 8-inch frost-free hose bib. Allow the PEX to shrink back, creating a secure seal. Then, insert the new hose bib assembly through the exterior wall opening and attach the anchor to its body, tightening the screws to hold it in place. Lastly, expand the other end of the PEX pipe and connect it to the PEX A ProPress fitting that was previously installed on the existing copper pipe.

Goal: Install the new hose bib, connecting it to the PEX pipe and securing it to the wall from the interior.

room for movement. Let 's climb in here. Let's give one here. Here. Let 's climb inside. Of course? And just hold until everything is tight. This is a beautiful place. Let it work on its own. It will take about 10 seconds, and then you will never figure it out. Perfectly. So, it fits really well. Good connection. This is n't going anywhere. This is a good way to repair anything without soldering. You see all this isolation, the cramped space I work in. I would have to cut out a bunch of drywall to safely use the burner. Well, let's go. We'll turn on
