What happens here
Using the Knipex Cobra pliers, securely grip the top white plastic cap of the anti-siphon valve. Rotate counter-clockwise to unscrew and remove it from the faucet body. Once the cap is off, carefully extract any internal plastic pieces, O-rings, or gaskets that might remain inside the faucet's opening. The video shows two main plastic pieces with an O-ring and a gasket that comprise the old assembly. Inspect the inside of the faucet to ensure it's clean and clear of any debris or old gasket material.
Goal: Carefully remove the existing faulty anti-siphon vacuum breaker cap and its internal components from the faucet.
