Hello, I had a pipe burst connected to the hose, the pipe burst inside. I cut the pipe to put a sharkbite on and found another smaller diameter hose or something inside the copper pipe. Any idea what this is?
Thanks a lot!

Is that pipe within 12" of the exterior wall? If so, im guessing it is a frost-proof sillcock you cut into.Screenshot_20210608-160539_Chrome.jpg
 
It is near the exterior wall, going into the hose. Do I need this? Could I cut it so as to allow me to remove the cracked copper I cut? Basically, is there anything I can do, more simply than not, to fix this so I can get my hose working again?
Thank u!

Oh I see that’s the part u are asking if I cut, yes it would be that part as it goes right out of the house. If I buy a new one like the one u posted, I should be able to just swap it out. Any tips on removing the old one? There is loctite or similar and I’d quite difficult
 
Ok sorry I got it, I’m going to replace that part that goes outside, the one pictured above, here’s my problem, I have been wrenching away I can’t get the existing piece removed. There is plumbers tape or loctite etc on the threads
 
You sure it is not soldered?
It looks threaded in to me and I can see thread tape when I look close.
If I could get that off I could just replace the entire piece and throw some fresh plumbers tape on and thread in the new one

Yeah, remove it and screw another one in. Easy job.
Any tip on unscrewing it? It’s on there pretty good. And when replacing it, should I measure the threads here to the wall for an estimate? I see mostly 8 and 12 inch lengths mostly
 
Ok im sorry for going crazy here. But i found this 0.75” by 12”. I think I’ll swap out with this if I can remove the old pipe.

Remove yours and measure it’s length.
Thanks a lot everyone! Any tip on removing the old one? I don’t have a blowtorch to heat it. Or just keep trying to wrench away at it? The loctite or plumbers tape has done it’s job let’s just say that…
 
I’d use two 14” pipe wrenches on that. One as a back up and one to turn.
 
Another question, my current outside faucet has some sort of caulking or insulation where it meets the house, am I safe to use any type of outdoor waterproof caulk? The current one I don’t even see screws yet it’s just like a mound basically of a foaming insulation or caulk covering it all.
