Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video begins by identifying a problematic external vacuum breaker on an Arrowhead Brass hose bib, also known as an outside faucet. The vacuum breaker is not shutting off properly, causing water to continuously run. It's noted that the vacuum breaker is secured with heavy-duty threadlocker, which will make removal challenging. The presenter advises wearing gloves for safety and preparing channel locks.

Goal: Identify the issue and gather necessary tools for removal

Tools and materials

  • Channel locks — Loosening the stubborn vacuum breaker
  • Gloves — Protecting hands during removal of the old vacuum breaker
