My Favorite New Way To Secure A Hose Bib

What happens here

Open the new hose bib completely to allow air to escape. Go back to the main water shut-off valve and slowly turn it back on. Listen for any rushing water or unusual sounds, and carefully inspect the newly installed hose bib connection (both inside and outside) for any signs of leaks. Once confident there are no leaks, fully open the main water valve.

Goal: Slowly restore the water supply to the house and check the new hose bib connection for any leaks.
