The pipe going through (uninsulated) garage wall to the outside
faucet burst for the second time. Although I turned off the shutoff
valve feeding this pipe and drained the water out, the valve turned
back on slightly (due to cold?) causing the pipe to fill with water
again that eventually turned into ice.

I'm sick of fixing this pipe. Interestingly it burst at exactly the
same spot as last year. I want to fix it once and for all.


PEX?

Maybe a combination of PEX and a 2 way type valve. One way goes to the
garage piping and the other way dumps the water out of the garage pipes to
the drain or ground when turned off.
