When running pipes or lines through a wall of a structure a hole is drilled in the wall during fabrication of the structure and then the line or pipe is run through the hole and to the outside of the building. Hose bibs or sill cocks typically include a faucet-like member and a base with notches located on opposite sides of the base. The hose bib attaches to the pipe and the hose bib is secured to the outside wall of the building usually by screws. A problem which frequently occurs with this practice, however, is that the pre-formed hole is too large so that the hose bib or sill cock cannot be secured to the wall. That is, there isn't anything to which the screws may attach. The present invention seeks to correct this problem by providing a flat, essentially diamond-shaped plate with a plurality of holes located therein. A hole larger than the other holes is located in the center of the plate. A hose bib having a base with notches located on opposite sides of the base is mounted to the plate so as to align the hose bib with the central hole. Each of the notches of the base is aligned with a hole located on either side of the central hole. Screws are then inserted into the notches and through their respective holes, thereby securing the hose bib to the plate. The plate is then secured to the wall.
