Repairing this outdoor water spigot was never going to work! #plumbing #diy #repairing
What happens here
After the cut, remove the old hose bib and the small section of pipe from the cutter. Inspect the inside of the cut fitting to clearly observe the previously diagnosed internal damage, particularly the worn-out seat. This visual confirmation reinforces the necessity of replacing the entire hose bib unit rather than attempting a repair of the individual components.
Goal: Visually confirm the irreparable damage to the old hose bib's internal seat.
