What's the best type of fastener to use to anchor a hose bib into concrete block? I've got one that needs anchoring but it appears that the holes for the fasteners have to be very close to the hole for the pipe that I had to drill. I used galvanized for the bibs because I needed to go through the block and wasn't very keen on having the PEX piping I'm using in contact with the blocks. The pipe converts to PEX just inside the block.
I've tried Tapcon screws in the past but had very poor results as they seem to strip very easily, especially when used on block. Is there anything better that would work for this application? What does everyone else use?
Thanks!
