To raise the height of an outdoor water faucet, the best thing to do would be to get an extension for the existing pipe that will bring the faucet to the height desired. Remember to turn off the source of the outdoor faucet before starting this project. Remove the faucet valve, screw in the new pipe, replace the faucet valve. Sealing the ends of the new pipe with plumber's tape is also a good idea.

How do you replace an outdoor faucet?
Shut of the water to the faucet. If a local shut off is not present then the main house shut off will have to be used, or the cutoff at the meter. unless plastic pipe is used then the faucet screws onto the water pipe. It will probably take a pipe wrench on the pipe and the faucet to break it free. use Teflon tape to cover the pipe threads before screwing on the new faucet. Turn the water back on and check for leaks.
