BEFORE Old sillcock is not connected to the outside wall properly. It moves around in its already too large of a hole. Turning it on and off stresses the piping provided to it.
AFTER Prevents drafts, moisture, insects, and vermin from entering the building through gaps between the hose bibb and the outside wall. Holds and supports the hose bibb securely on outside wall so as to prevent stresses on plumbing. Works great with all types of water piping, rigid and flexible.
Assures the propper pitch on frost-proof hydrants and saves time on installation.
Neat, attractive and a professional appearance.
