Hose Bib Symbol

The hose bib symbol is used to indicate the location of outdoor water supply points in plumbing plans, allowing designers, architects, or plumbers to plan the placement of these fixtures accurately.

A hose bib symbol represents a hose bib or an outdoor water faucet in plumbing diagrams or plans. A hose bib, also known as a hose spigot or hose hydrant, is a valve or faucet that provides water access for outdoor use, such as gardening, washing cars, or filling buckets.

The hose bib symbol typically consists of a circle or oval shape with a straight line protruding from it. The line represents the pipe or hose connection, while the circle or oval denotes the valve or faucet handle. Sometimes, the symbol may also include additional details, such as a small dot or cross inside the circle to indicate the opening or closing position of the valve.

You can follow these steps:

Start by drawing a small circle. This will represent the handle of the hose bib.

From the bottom of the circle, draw a straight line downward. This line represents the pipe or hose connection.

At the end of the straight line, draw a small semi-circle or rectangle to represent the outlet or nozzle of the hose bib.

Optionally, you can add a dot or cross inside the circle to indicate the opening or closing position of the valve.
