What is a sillcock?

A sillcock is a type of hose bib (or bibcock) with female threads where it connects to the house. The back of the sillcock is flared, so that when it is screwed into place, the flared part covers the hole in the wall where the pipe comes through. Sillcocks are used for outdoor faucets, gardening, watering lawns or washer hook-ups.
