Attaching hose bib to metal siding. This video shows a unique and ez way to mark and cut out an electrical box hole in metal siding. Then go outside and complete the hole by drilling through the siding. Clean the dust off the siding caulk around the perimeter of the hole then slide your hose bib in and use two 2 stainless steel screws to hold it on. Personally i would not use a latex caulking on fiber cement.
Predrill a pilot hole for the screws with an 1 8 masonry bit. Most hooks are stainless steel so they won t corrode and they are easy to remove when you re done with them. The hole saw will likely be dull by the time you are done drilling. My main tool for perfection.
Drive the appropriate screws through the screw holes and into the wall until they are snug. Twist the connector on the reel s short hose to the hose bib and fasten the end of the garden hose to. Apply silicone caulk around the hole and attach the hose bib by driving two deck screws that are coated to resist rusting.
