outdoor faucet

Garden water source

An outdoor faucet is a water tap mounted on the exterior of a building, used for garden hoses, washing cars, or filling buckets.

Also called a hose bib, spigot, or sillcock.

In cold climates, outdoor faucets often have shut-off valves inside to prevent pipes from freezing: Remember to drain the outdoor faucet before winter.
