For various reasons one spigot on the back of my brick home is rather low to the ground. Attaching a hose is a bit of a chore. There is also a leak so I am between having it removed and new washer put on or replacing with something that will help the problem. Some of our spigots are an a 45 degree angle and that might help.

I've researched what is out there in terms of different angled spouts etc. In TN we really don't need frost proof as we've never had a problem.

Any help or referrals are appreciated.

If you want a way without doing any plumbing is to install a basement window well. Dig down, below the depth of the well, throw in stone for drainage. Leave maybe 12" or more of space below the spigot.

If you do not have freeze problems you can install a spigot upside down or at 90 degrees.

You can also get a brass "hose 45 degree" fitting to put on the faucet and then hook the hose to it.

This is what I did on my water heater. That is a garden hose adapter on the end.

It's tough to tell from pictures, but would a silcock like this give enough clearance:

Is your hose bibb located close to the ground?

Aquor Hydrants can easily connect to your garden hose with room to spare, while reducing the amount of time you spend bent over.

This hose bibb is as low as they go, and the V2+ Hydrant works like a charm.

The Aquor hose connector can be plugged in at 3 different positions.

Note the three “nibs” on every Aquor Hydrant and outlet. The grooves on the hose connector line up with these three nibs.

This allows you to plug in a hose connector in any of the three positions.

One of three Aquor Hydrant connector positions.

Another advantage to Aquor Hydrants is the minimization of time spent bending over, saving your back and knees.

The Hydrants connect in a second, making outdoor water access a snap by eliminating the need to repeatedly bend over to twist stubborn spigot knobs into submission.

No need to bust your back connecting to this low V2+ Hydrant.

These V1+ Hydrants are sleek and discreet.

Add the easily-accessible water outlets anywhere on your property. You can install them in the wall, in the ground, in planter boxes, on your boat, or on your RV.

The V2+ and V2 Hydrants work well in these low hose bibb locations.

This Boston V2 blends right in.

How do I make my outdoor faucet higher?

Install the coupler onto the male end of the water pipe and then install the extension into the coupler. Attach the faucet at the outer end of the extension. For longer extensions, drive a wooden stake in the ground as a support under the pipe near the faucet.

Can you raise outdoor spigot?

An outdoor spigot installed on the exterior wall of a home is often placed close to the ground. This low positioning can make it difficult to access. One option you can use to address this problem is to raise the height of the spigot.

How high should a spigot be off the ground?

Hose bibs are generally installed at 12 to 16 inches above the ground. Any lower, and you may not have sufficient space for a check valve or timer. If installed higher, you are more likely to have visible plumbing.
