What I did, was to put a galvanized nipple in the wall and used the pex pipe to
the outlet to the nipple. Just don't like any thing except metal in the walls.
They claim the pex pipe is every bit as good as copper, but haven't use it long
enough to say if it is or isn't.

Alan,
Thanks for your thoughts. I have copper running throughout including to
outside.Hoping there are other options other than gluing faucet to Pex as
that part will be in the wall and not easy to fix if a leak occurs.

I just changed my outside water faucets a few months back. Their made of
some kind of plastic now and they just glue in place onto Pex pipe. The
job
took about 5 minutes. We have PVC pipe to the outside faucets. I used a
hacksaw to cut off the old brass ones, cleaned up the end of the pipe and
then found my plastic pipe cutter so the other one went even quicker.
