Types of Hose Bibs
There are various types of hose bibs on the market, each to suit a specific purpose. Here are the most popular types of hose bibs.
- Standard Hose Bib: To prevent any damage, you will need to turn off the water supply and open the valve to the spigot in winter.
- Frost-free Hose Bib: These hose bibs can be used in colder months without needing to be winterized.
- Loose-key Hose Bib: These hose bibs have what’s known as a “loose key” which can be removed when it isn’t in use.
