Review on SharkBite 24629LF 10-inch Frost 🦈 Free Sillcock: Durable and Efficient Outdoor Faucet by Isaac Morales

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, easy to install

I have an old house and the plumbing is outdated. The house was built before the house had internal plumbing, so all of our plumbing is scattered all over the place with no real structure. The tube breastplate was connected to a copper pipe and passed about a foot through raised stone and mortar and then another 2 feet through the heater pipes. We tried to touch the solder joints but the narrowness drove us insane, it was almost impossible. We have a Sharkbite bib, a plastic tube and some connectors. We cut the copper pipe to remove the old bib, which was easier and more reliable than the burner. We cut a 4 foot piece of polyethylene and attach it to the tube bib. We attached a shark plug to the cut copper tubing. We slightly pass the solder through the existing hole, weave the solder through other tubes; Then trim the spatula and insert it into the slot. Because the connectors are rotatable, we were able to line up the bib before screwing it on. We turned the water on slowly, with the bib unbuttoned so that not a single bad connection would be broken. After making sure there were no leaks, we switched everything to overdrive. It was very easy to install and since the system is in New England a system of antifreeze valves is a must.
