In this guide, we will walk you through the process of fixing a leaky outdoor faucet, enabling you to save water, money, and maintain the integrity of your plumbing system.

  3. GATHER THE NECESSARY TOOLS Before you begin, gather the following tools to ensure a smooth repair process: GATHER THE NECESSARY TOOLS Adjustable wrench Pipe wrench Replacement parts (washer, O-rings, or a complete faucet repair kit) Teflon tape Plumber's tape Screwdriver

  4. TURN OFF THE WATER SUPPLY Locate the shut-off valve for the outdoor faucet and turn it off to prevent any water flow. If there isn't a dedicated shut-off valve, consider turning off the main water supply to your house temporarily. TURN OFF THE WATER SUPPLY DISASSEMBLE THE FAUCET Using an adjustable wrench, carefully unscrew the packing nut located just below the faucet handle. Once removed, you can access the valve stem assembly. Take note of the order in which the components are arranged for reassembly later. DISASSEMBLE THE FAUCET

  5. INSPECT AND REPLACE DAMAGED COMPONENTS Examine the washer and O-rings on the valve stem assembly for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. If any parts appear faulty, replace them with new ones from your replacement parts kit. INSPECT AND REPLACE DAMAGED COMPONENTS APPLY TEFLON TAPE Wrap a few layers of Teflon tape clockwise around the threads of the valve stem. This will ensure a watertight seal when reassembling the faucet. APPLY TEFLON TAPE
