I needed to install a new, outside faucet this weekend and I had my
teenage son helping.....

I just replaced a blown out frost proof outside faucet with a new frost
proof outside faucet.
I left a push on adapter on it during the winter and it burst.

I'm lousy soldering pipe in a wall. A local plumber suggested I try a no
solder adapter called a shark bite or cobra lock.
Home Depot had the shark bite version. made the job alot easier... no
calls to the fire department.
