Mansfield Sillcock Pipe repair

[JPM99]

Hi- I left my hose connected outside and we had a spring freeze and it split the pipe stem attached to the spigot. It looks like it should be a relatively easy repair as it looks to be threaded into the main pipe, but I've tried turning it off and it's not really budging. Should it just screw off? I'm a little afraid to go to hard at it as not to cause other issues. Attached is a pic. Any help is appreciated.

I think it is soldered, so don't try to twist it off.

If that is 1/2 inch copper pipe, consider https://www.sharkbite.com/products/frost-free-sillcock

You would need to cut and dress the copper pipe where it is clear of the solder. I like the Ridgid 101 "tubing cutter" for copper.

Getting the cut length just right would be important.

If you can solder pipe, that is another good solution if you can get all of the water out of the pipe. The sillcock should tilt slightly down toward the outside to allow draining when the hose is off.
