Leaky Hose Bib? Try THIS first! #plumber #plumbing #diy

We're going to be fixing a hose bib that will not shut off. You just want to shut the water off. To drain all this water out, to take a crescent wrench and spin this off counterclockwise. You just want to grab this back nut right here, the nut closest to the body. And that's going to pop off, and then it just pulls out. This is a deep frost-free bib. This is looking a little shot. It is assorted flat bib washers and screws. They don't want to come off. Oh, that springed out of there. Sometimes these things just don't want to come apart. See that I'm starting to crush that in a little bit. I've got to take this monstrous screw out of here. This is not a good design. I actually don't have anything in my arsenal that's that long. This particular is a 00 quarter inch. So, we're just able to match that up. Clean that out a little bit. We'll take the two zeros. We'll flip them down. Make sure it's the whole way in there. Hopefully this doesn't have to come out for like another 20 years. Now, let's see about straightening that out a little bit. Once this is looking good, push this down on the spring, and just it kind of clicks right in place. Just goes straight back. Make sure that little washer's on there. That's what's going to seal that. And remember this is going to have to screw in a little bit before this part screws in. Let's take our adjustable jaw, give it a little final tighten, turn the water back on. Crack it. The line's going, water's moving. It's good to always keep something open, and then just go ahead and open it the rest of the way. Come back over here one more time for the moment of truth. Shut her down. Water stopped dripping.
