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 โoutside.โ
@Kurtroedeger Growing up in Massachusetts, I heard it called a spigot or a faucet.
Spigot, I forgot that one ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
@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... ๐
@InvaderGzim @rpardee
Now to wait 2 hours for the ovs to cure.
Not my cleanest work, especially when I drop the bottle of primer ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
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.
@Kurtroedeger - usually spigot, or water spigot.
But I've been known to call it "that thing where the stuff comes out" on less than intelligent days.
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 itโs a hose bib. Kinda like I call it a bubbler but know itโs a drinking fountain.
@Kurtroedeger
It's just the outside tap! ๐คฃ
@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. ๐คท
