ABSTRACT:
A hose bibb extension assembly includes a specially designed mounted stake adapted to be pushed into the ground in front of a hedge or the like positioned closely adjacent a wall-mounted hose bibb and impeding access thereto. A hose barb fitting is firmly anchored to an upper end portion of the stake and couples the inlet of an auxiliary hose bibb to the outlet end of a high pressure extension hose. By connecting the inlet end of the extension hose to the wall-mounted, primary hose bibb, and turning and leaving such hose bibb on, the stake-supported auxiliary hose bibb may be coupled to a lawn watering hose and be conveniently used to control water flow thereto without the previous necessity of reaching under, through or over the obstructing hedge to operate the primary hose bibb. The stake, when driven into the ground, securely mounts the auxiliary hose bibb in a convenient elevated position, and has a generally L-shaped cross-section which stabilizes the stake against tilting or axial rotation in the ground. One of the perpendicular side sections of the stake has a bent-over upper end tab which forms with upper portions of such side sections a recessed area in which the outlet end of the extension hose is disposed and protected. The tab defines a broadened upper end surface of the stake against which a hand may be placed to easily push the sharpened lower end of the stake into the ground. Additionally, the tab may be easily grasped and upwardly pulled to remove the stake from the ground.
