Frost-Free Hose Bib

An outdoor faucet designed to prevent freezing — the shut-off valve is located 4–12 inches inside the wall, away from cold exterior air. Recommended for all Texas homes, especially after the 2021 winter storm. Cost to upgrade from standard: $75–$200 per faucet. Requires removing garden hoses in winter — hoses left attached defeat the frost-free design.
