"How To Fix A Leaking Hose Bib - From A Temporary Fix To No Leaks!"

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video starts by identifying a leak from the stem of an outdoor frost-free hose bib (spigot), specifically an Arrowhead Brass model. The presenter mentions using a temporary valve to manage the leak until a permanent fix. Before any repair, it's crucial to shut off the main water supply to the house. The presenter demonstrates this by using a meter key to turn off the water at the main meter, located in an underground box. After shutting off the main supply, the temporary valve and any attached hoses are removed, and the outdoor faucet handle is turned to the open position to drain any remaining water from the line, relieving pressure.
