A hose bibb, an outdoor faucet, is threaded to receive a garden hose. The type with a wall-attachment flange is called a sillcock. Water flow is controlled by a seat washer which, when worn, allows the faucet to drip.
The globe valve serves as a shutoff valve that also controls water pressure. Unlike the gate valve, this shutoff valve can be used partially open. Angled varieties are also available.
