oh yes..i have installed hot and cold hose bibs in the garage before...a hose bib by code shall have a vacuum breaker device installed on it..i would suggest installing them close to the garage door, because of the water that can drip onto the floor. if you have a laundry sink in your garage, it usually has a hose adapter on the spout
I myself like my hose bib to be about 36" off the ground
[hate to bend over,bad back]

around here folks put a bib where they want. i know several folks who do not have one ON the house at all, instead they have 1 out in teh front yard somewhere and 1 in teh rear/side yard.

my house has 1 on teh front porch, 1 on teh side wall, one on teh well house, then 2 over 100yards away for the garden. a friends house does not have a single bib on teh house itself, but 8 spread thruout the yard!

For those with cold garages, why not have a shut off that's inside the warm house?

Just a couple of points:

1. I think the answer to the OP's question is to check with your local code inspector, that person can answer your question as to whether a hose bib inside the garage will satisfy the requirement for a bib in the front of the house.

2. A freeze proof sillcock works when the back side of it is in a heated space, which may not be the case in an unheated garage near the door.

3. In most localities a floor drain isn't permitted in the garage because of the problem of people dumping oil/fluids down the drain.

there is no requirement for a hose bib in the front of a house or the back or sides..the upc does not require a hose bib at all.the requirement for a hose bib is that it have a vacuum breaker..its a archatecture/ builder/thats just the way it is... 1 in the front and 1 in the back.thing
...in my little part of the world..its common pratice for the hose bib to be directly on top of where the water enters the house...and the rear bib will be plumbed off of the kitchen sink.or a bathroom on the rear wall
the front helps latter "find" the water line and the rear is just whatevers closest..inless the owner is present when we are there, if they are..i will ask where they want it
its a 50/50 thing , wheather its even on the print
but plumbers know...1 in the front, 1 in the back

I figured as much with the drain, it's a pity though. 'Twould be a good thing otherwise.

We've had drains in the garage, residential and commercial. They drain into a drywell under the floor or under the driveway.

Garage drains are not to be hooked to city sewers because of the potential of fuel and oil leaks in a garage.

I've seen them as well -- no reason the drain couldn't just drain out into the street/driveway somewhere. Functionally the same result.

I guess I should have been more specific about the floor drains. They often aren't installed because they can't be connected to the city sewer.

My munincipality goes by the UPC. I would like the bibs to have maximum line volume. The simplest way to achieve this is through the garage's common wall rim joist. This would make a very easy tap into the main feed line in the crawl space. The garage floor is poured for a slight grade drop to deal with any errant water.

Thanks to everyone for your time.

no problem you need a vacumm breaker and a shut off to all outside hose bibs upc code book , but you can in stall anywhere u feel fit lol

in a comercial bathroom..the code states that all floor drains shall have a trap primer.UNLESS...there is a hose bib
connection.

Isn't the vacuum breaker incorporated into most hose bibs these days? I assume that's what the knurled knob is on top.

I put a meon hot/cold hose bib in my garage and hook the hose to a squeege with water jets on the front. I use the hot water to sweep all of the road salt from winter right out the door. Also good for washing the car!
