    So you removed a bad idea and replaced it with both a hot and cold tap. Nice Work!

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    How do you remember which is which ? Wouldn't it be better to use different colored handles ?

    One way to get familiar something you know nothing about is to ask a really smart person a really stupid question

    Dont laugh too hard. I have a spigot like the first photo. I belly crawled into a tight portion of our crawl space, drilled at the highest point on the sill,just below the floor, and came out about an inch above ground level. Cant use a frost proof spigot that low so, for thirty years, i have the first photo. Except, my spigot doesnt face the wall. So, mine is better!

    I'm big on Wolverine Brass FF sillcocks, but we weren't opening the basement ceiling. This was just a quicker fix. Mad Dog

    The spigot would be in the dirt.
