Thanks. nice handle change btw.

Well everyone else used it I figured I might as well.

New leaf?

Turn off water at meter.
Unscrew hose bib.
Teflon threads on new hose bib.
Screw in new hose bib.
Charge silly homeowner $500 and laugh all the way to the bank.

It's soldered on. at least it looks like it is. house was built in 74. at the very least it will be totally corroded.

Wow, make sure they use the exact same hose bib that you had before since it lasted 43 years!

I normally will fix anything, but if I screw this up I'll have to cut into the wall in our bedroom. last quote I got was $150.

parker brothers, I know them personally and they do really good work. give them a call.

That's what we paid about 10 years ago for the same thing. Yes, ours was soldered on, as well.

Even if soldered you could replace with a shark bite yourself. As long as you can get to enough of the original copper.

it's butted up to the brick tight.

Being built in 74 I am willing to bet money it's not screwed in and you will have to open the wall up. Have you tried replacing the washer? Please don't put a shark bite fitting in the wall either. You will have to chip the mortor out around the pipe going through the wall to get the old one out. Imagine a nut on the back side that is slightly bigger then The pipe going through the wall. I would take the stem out first and try replacing the washer.
