thanks!!! i hate hiring people for things that are not impossible to diy

Did anyone count how many times he used the word "sweat"?
-
Wagslick should have used his cutter and made a cut away from the 90. Then sweated the 1/2 " pipe directly into the new hose bib. Then push the pre fabbed sillcock through the wall, then sweated it into a new coupling. This would eliminate unsweating and reusing a fitting, which is wrong, and could have elimated the FIP fitting. You worked hard and did extra work that was not needed.
-
And to all-The term "spigot" or "Spicket" is for folks who are NOT in the plumbing field, therefore, should not be giving out plumbing tips!

@squidskunk This is NOT the proper way you jackass! First...you cannot "unsweat" a fitting and reuse! Second, the 1/2" FIP was not needed, as the 1/2" pipe could go right into the end of the sillcock! As we can see, you would rather work hard then smart plus if you were an experienced plumber, as I am, you would know these things! Any 3rd week apprentice will tell you that you can reuse pipe after unsweating but not fittings! Your plumbing knowledge is limited at best. you are a true hack!

@TheOldkid888 Ya man! Idk what this guy is doing if there is a spitter valve to let water out but then again it looks to be plumbed with the spitter below the ball valve! lol wow! Plus why unsweat a pipe when you can just add a coupling to it or even a street and regular 1/2" 45 to give it some grade to let the water out....Have a great fathers day!

A hole has probably been PUNCHED into the wall! LOL!

Excellent instruction. I have no experience or training and the video was the most helpful. Thanks.

there is a little bleeder on the cutoff that would have helped get water out of the pipe

Thanks for the comments folks. It's true, I'm not a certified plumber hence my ignorance on the terms "spigot" and "spicket". I may not have fixed this exactly the way a plumber would however this was meant to be a quick and dirty DIY on how to fix a silcock. No plumbers had posted any similar how-to video at the time so I figured I would. Most plumbers were teaching people correct plumbing vocabulary while I was trying to show people how to fix their problems.
