Your outdoor spigot and hose get a workout during the summer months, but when the temperatures drop, that outdoor faucet can cause pipes to freeze. One way to cut down on the risk of a burst pipe is to install a frost-free hose bib on your home's exterior. They're also called freeze-proof, and they go by the names faucet, spigot, sillcock and house bib. The design and installation of this special faucet minimizes the chances of water freezing inside the spigot.
