MUST KNOW INFO!...How to Replace a Leaky Outdoor Water Faucet

What happens here

Return to the main water meter and slowly turn the main shut-off valve counter-clockwise to gradually restore water pressure to the house. Once the water is fully on, open the new outdoor faucet to allow air to bleed out until a steady stream of water flows. Then, close the faucet and carefully check around the newly installed faucet on the exterior and the pipe connection inside the garage for any signs of leaks. Ensure everything is dry and secure.

Goal: Gradually turn the main water supply back on and check the newly installed faucet and interior pipe connection for any leaks.
