Hi everyone,
I have a novice question here. I need to add a hose bib near my water manifold temporarily while I replumb a water filter. I purchased a brass hose bib 1/2" male and a copper female 1/2". But I am not sure that they are mean't to go together because the hose bib does not go that far in. I didn't try it with a wrench because I didn't want to shred the copper. It only goes about 3 to 4 rings in with hand pressure.
I am thinking that the hose bib is mean't to into one of the brass ears used in bathrooms perhaps?
PS I was unable to upload the photo to the forums servers (empty file error)
