Leaking Hose Bib Vacuum Breaker Replacement #helpingothers #diy #plumber #plumbing

So I came over to my neighbor's house because he has a frost-free hose bed that when the hose is hooked up, it's still leaking. He was trying to change this vacuum breaker right here and he could not get it off. So when you're doing a job like this, you want two sets of pliers. One to hold is a backup. The other to actually take this off. Hold this right here is a backup and then turn. This is probably going to be pretty hard because they've put red lock tight on this. You zoom upon that. You can see the red lock tight. All right, let's get that cleaned off. Let's grab a fitting brush. All right, so he bought this PK-1390 fine thread self-draining vacuum breaker. This is a replacement for this. It comes with this little set screw. I don't ever actually put this on. If you put this on and break it off, it's going to be really hard to take this off. This actually comes with a washer that's going to allow this to seal. You can just go hand tight with this and now we're good to go fast, easy replacement in my neighbor's back in business.
