What happens here
The new components are introduced: a robust Woodford Manufacturing Company Model 22 frost-free hose bib and a Zurn Wilkins quarter-turn ball valve. The frost-free hose bib is designed with a longer copper pipe that positions the shut-off mechanism inside the warm house to prevent freezing. It also features a PEX-B connection point at the end of its internal pipe, making it compatible with modern PEX plumbing.
Goal: Familiarize with the new plumbing components and their advantages.
