Pinhole Leak Flooded the Basement!
What happens here
The newly wrapped frost-free hose bib is inserted into the enlarged concrete opening. To secure it firmly to the concrete foundation, Tapcon concrete screws (3/16 inch x 2-1/4 inch) are used. A 5/32-inch concrete drill bit is used to drill pilot holes for the screws. Once secured, the handle of the hose bib is reattached with a screwdriver.
Goal: Install and securely fasten the new frost-free hose bib to the concrete wall.
