Hello. Not using real plumbing terms, I am looking for an outdoor hose bib. I want a ball valve/quarter turn lever type in 1/2" that is sweated on the non-hose end. I have searched the Internet high and low and am having trouble finding one. Any advice? This is a new install as we are remodeling/relocating the hose bib.

FWIW, a 1/4-turn valve is not very good at throttling the outlet...they work best at full off or on. As a result, I'm not sure you'll find one. You could use any standard 1/4-turn valve and put a hose threaded adapter on the end. If you need a frost-free design, www.woodfordmfg.com makes some quality ones here in the USA.
