I just built a small lean-to and had a 3/4" PVC pipe roughed-in up through the slab. I want to go through the wall (1/2" PT plywood with lathe and stucco on the exterior) to install a sillcock. I'm not sure about the best way to do this. I thought about transitioning the PVC to galvanized but decided that's probably not a good idea. I don't want to risk the PVC female adapter splitting. Should I transition to copper?
Since PVC, galvanized, copper, etc. have virtually no "give" I'm not sure if I should attempt to have the sillcock flange rest flush against the exterior or if I should plan to have it extend two or three inches. I will place a block of wood between the stub-out and the stud so I'll have something to strap it to on the inside of the shed but I'm concerned that an errant tug on a fully extended hose could cause problems if the sillcock isn't well secured.
Thoughts?
TIA.
