I live in a trailer and am debating attempting to put a hose outside/on the side.
A few considerations:
- I have no plumbing experience
- It gets -40 where I live in the Winter
I have read great things about PEX & "Push Connectors" which made me think I can tackle the project, but my main concern is the spigot near ground.
I plan on shutting off the water each winter just FYI.
Question:
- Is it safe to put the drain-cock spigot connector near ground? I'm talking within 6"
- I was concerned with "akwardness" as well and wondered about installing the spigot upside down so the connector is facing upwards. Does anybody see any issues with that?

Here is my shopping list so far if you see any issues:
PEX Connectors (Not even sure I'll need this, but I'll get them in case)
Is there anything I'm missing? I hate starting a project and missing a tool, seems to happen every time!
The only thing left is for me to look at the setup downstairs and figure out how I can "T" off of it.
