I can attest to this as being true after having to replace my hose bib. I went to disconnect the hose with an aluminum female hose fitting to use it on a camping trip and it would not come off. I attempted to use a giant pair of channel lock pliers to remove the hose and it started to bend the pipe. I struggled with trying to put the pliers on the hose bib and use a pipe wrench on the aluminum female hose fitting and still could not get it off. I ended up having to take a map gas torch to the hose bib to take it off the pipe and sweating/soldering a new hose bib onto the pipe. That hose and hose bib went in the garbage!
