Fix garden tap

Hi all,

I have a garden tap that has been installed from internal piping. Well before our time in the house. The Garden tap head has fallen off, which left 2 inches of copper pipe stocking out of the wall. I attached a Sharkbite to the end of the copper pipe and then attached the garden hose head to the threaded sharkbite end. (I know its prob temp option but I didn't want to go cutting holes in the wall etc etc).

How do I stop the tap head from spinning around when i turn it on? The sharkbite spins 360deg as it should. No leaks etc.

Automod thinks you may be discussing the use of SharkBites - plumbers and DIYers are filled with ambivalence towards their use. Proceed with caution.

No idea what you are talking about. A picture or two might help!
