What do you call the place where you connect the hose on the outside of your house? I just learned a new one and want to see if this is a regional thing, or I've just been obtuse for years
@Kurtroedeger Hose bib up North. Just learned that term a couple of years ago, myself!
@Kurtroedeger
We call it a spigot here.
@arthurpendragon @Kurtroedeger
Spigot, tap, or faucet. Almost always with the adjective “outside.”
@Kurtroedeger Growing up in Massachusetts, I heard it called a spigot or a faucet.
Spigot, I forgot that one 🤦♀️
@Kurtroedeger the plumber who replaced ours called it a hose bib, so that's what i call it now too.
@rpardee @Kurtroedeger
Had both of mine replaced a couple three years back... Frost free and he even installed a 90 degree shutoff valve inside... Not like winters get that cold anymore but just another bit of protection...
@InvaderGzim @rpardee I'm installing a new one today. I just learned wall hydrant as that is what the box and shelf labels had. I tend to call it a spigot or hose bib normally.
@Kurtroedeger @rpardee
The plumber used pex. Unless you're an expert with a torch and solder... 😊
@InvaderGzim @rpardee cpvc for me.
@InvaderGzim @rpardee
Now to wait 2 hours for the ovs to cure.
Not my cleanest work, especially when I drop the bottle of primer 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
The dog kennel goes in front of this, so no big deal. I don't need a pristine off-white water heater.
@Kurtroedeger we call it a tap here.

Me on migraine days... "That thing... Outside... Water..."
Husband: The hose?
Me: no no no *makes hand turning motion while looking pained and frustrated*
@Kurtroedeger (or spigot.)
@Kurtroedeger Most direct translation is wall hydrant or outdoor hydrant/tap.
@Kurtroedeger I call it faucet, but know it’s a hose bib. Kinda like I call it a bubbler but know it’s a drinking fountain.
@Kurtroedeger
It's just the outside tap! 🤣
@Kurtroedeger In plumber-speak, it's a hose bib and is so denoted on most blueprints. I grew up calling it a faucet, but I've heard it called a hose bib. "Wall hydrant" is new to me. I've never heard it called that.
@POOetryma that's what the box and the label on the store shelf called it and was new to me too
@Kurtroedeger if I'm hooking up a hose I call it a faucet. If I'm buying one in the store it's a hose bib
@Kurtroedeger Hose bib or spigot (sometimes pronounced spicket back home in Central NY).
@Ironworker229 same pronunciation here in SE pa
@Kurtroedeger Lol! That's funny and captures it perfectly.
Spigot, but I've heard many others except for wall hydrant.
@Kurtroedeger We say hose bib down in the SE. Not sure why not faucet, or outside faucet, or something like that. 🤷
