This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the
straw badge in
Plumbing.
In this Badge Bit, you will swap out a sillcock or exterior faucet for a frost proof sillcock. Turning off the faucets in the fall is hard to remember and they might freeze. Let's fix that with a fancy frost proof faucet.
Here's Richard showing how it's done:
To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- swap out a "normal" faucet for a frost proof version
- not replacing a frost proof with another frost proof
To show you've completed this Badge Bit, provide proof of the following as pics or
video (less than two minutes):
- the old faucet (inside and outside view)
- the
project halfway through
- the new faucet (inside and outside view)
