Replacing a PEX hose bib is a relatively simple plumbing repair that can be completed in a few hours. PEX, or cross-linked polyethylene, is a flexible and durable material that is commonly used for water supply lines. Hose bibs, also known as outdoor faucets, are used to connect hoses for watering lawns, gardens, and washing cars.
Replacing a PEX hose bib is important because a worn-out or leaking hose bib can waste water and cause damage to your home. Replacing a hose bib is also a good way to improve the appearance of your home’s exterior.
