[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4197577, member: 5412"] Frost free if properly installed by the plumber. We woke up to water in the bedroom several years ago with a frost free hose bib frozen and broken. Outside temps had been hovering around zero for a couple of days. Cut open the sheet rock, to discover the 12" extension had been installed with the tube bent upward to match the hole drilled from outside. It couldn't drain, and there was zero insulation in that wall where the copper pipe came out of the slab. Had to use a pneumatic hammer drill to chip out the concrete so some new copper and a new hose bib could be installed that would drain. Shoved it full of insulation, and built a nice looking access door from some trim boards to allow future access if ever needed. [/QUOTE]
