A bibcock, also known as a hose bib or outdoor faucet, is a type of valve used to control the flow of water in a plumbing system. It is commonly used to supply water to a garden hose or irrigation system, and is usually found on the exterior of a building.
Bibcocks typically have a threaded spout or nozzle to which a hose can be attached, and a handle or lever that can be turned to open or close the valve. They are often made of brass, bronze, or stainless steel, and can be designed for use with hot or cold water.
Bibcocks are typically designed for outdoor use, and are often installed in areas such as gardens, yards, or other outdoor spaces where water is needed for irrigation, washing, or other purposes. They are an important component of many plumbing systems, and can be found in a wide variety of residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
