Types of PTMT Bib Cocks

  • Traditional Hose Bibs

    Found in many households, these standard bib cocks feature a simple valve mechanism operated by a handle, enabling easy on-off control of water flow.

  • Frost-Free Bib Cocks

    Engineered to resist freezing during cold weather, these bib cocks incorporate an elongated stem reaching into the wall, housing the water shut-off valve. This design prevents water from remaining in exposed pipe sections, minimizing the risk of freezing and bursting.

  • Wall-Mounted Bib Cocks

    Commonly employed in commercial and industrial settings, these bib cocks are directly mounted onto building exterior walls, prioritizing durability and reliability for demanding environments.

Installation and Maintenance

  • Installation

    Entrust the installation of PTMT Bib Cocks to a qualified plumber to ensure precise fitting and functionality. This process involves cutting into the existing water line, securely attaching the bib cock, and sealing any gaps to prevent leaks.

  • Maintenance

    Regular maintenance is key to preventing leaks, corrosion, and other issues. Tasks include inspecting for damage, lubricating moving parts, and replacing worn washers or seals as necessary.

Tips for Using PTMT Bib Cocks

  • Avoid Over-Tightening

    Apply gentle pressure when turning the handle to prevent damage to the valve and potential leaks.

  • Winter Water Drainage

    In colder climates, drain water from PTMT Bib Cocks before winter to prevent freezing and subsequent damage. Turn off the water supply and open the valve to allow any remaining water to drain out.
