Do you need to though if they are “frost-free” hose bibbs? Does it depend on whether the other side of the wall from the hose bibb is (heated) living space or not?
Those are great questions I don’t really know the answer to. In my own personal experience, a bedroom on the other side of an unprotected external faucet in a poorly insulated old house was enough warmth when there was a week of record setting cold that caused people I knew to experience a burst faucet.
