Does The Upcoming Winter Have You Concerned About Freezing Pipes?
Are you worried about your pipes bursting or freezing during extreme cold temperatures during the winter months? A-1 Plumbing can help by winterizing your pipes and protecting them from the sudden temperature drops. You may have already heard about Frost-Free Hose bibs (exterior faucets) as a solution for freezing pipes if you live in an area that experiences yearly freezing.
When the temperatures outside drop, the outside faucet, or Hose Bib, can cause pipelines to freeze. One solution in preventing a pipe from bursting during freezing weather is to install Frost-Free, or Freeze Proof, Hose Bibs.
What Is The Difference Between A Standard And Frost-Free Hose Bib?
While they may look the same on the outside, the inside is where the difference is. With a traditional hose bib, the shutoff valve is located directly behind the handle. The Frost-Free has a longer pipe that goes into the house with the shutoff valve sitting inside where it is warmer. When you turn off the water on a Frost-Free hose bib the water stops behind the valve, which is set farther back inside the house, which means the water won’t freeze because the air is warmer.
What you get when you get a Frost-Free hose bib installed for your plumbing:
- One-time installation that will protect your home’s pipes for years
- Prevention of costly damages
- Stress-free winter preparations
- Swift external installation of a singular part
- Cost-effective problem solving
