GREAT LITTLE HOSE BIB HACK!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Using strong adjustable pliers, such as Knipex Cobras, securely grip the external vacuum breaker. The presenter highlights the strong, locking jaw of the Knipex Cobras for this task. Adjust the pliers for a firm hold on the vacuum breaker and apply significant force to twist and break the seal of the threadlocker. Once the initial seal is broken, the vacuum breaker should be easier to unscrew by hand.

Goal: Detach the faulty vacuum breaker from the hose bib

Tools and materials

  • Gloves — Protecting hands and enhancing grip during tool use
  • Knipex Cobras Knipex — Gripping and twisting the vacuum breaker for removal

off so i chose to go with the canipex cobras today because these things they've got this jaw that will lock on here and it's not going to let go so once i get this adjusted super easy adjustment very micro adjusting as well just able to get on there and you're going to have to give it a good twist okay once that's broke free it'll be pretty easy to take off
