Frost Free Install

[Inverno4]

I had a frost free outdoor faucet installed and the plumber tilted it back into the house about 10 degrees. He came out to “fix” it and did this in the photo. He used a lot of force to wedge the block of wood under to get it to tilt properly outwardly. Are my pipes or fittings in danger of splitting or leaking because of the pressure from the block onto them?

thanks

I guess that takes care of the inward tilt. That's been corrected. I have never seen a clamp like that. That should secure it pretty well.

Thanks. Will the pressure from the wood block being wedged in there cause a problem to the piping or fitting?

Neither have I so I did a search.

That clamp is a hose-bib bracket, it is designed to keep the hose-bib secured tightly against the exterior of the home and keep it from turning.
It is a very nice item to have when you do not have any thing to secure to from the outside.
If the installer were thinking he could have just loosened the top bolt and tightened the lower bolt to get the proper grade, then he wouldn't need the 2x4.

I do not see any hammer marks on the 2x4 so there probably is not a lot of pressure on the pipe. The pipe looks straight, if he had excessive pressure on it then the pipe would have likely bowed.
I think you will be ok.
