It's a quick, simple thing, whether you're hooking up to an outside faucet, aka your hose bib, you're hooking up to your spray gun, or you're hooking up to a sprinkler. It's all going to be the same. It's a quick fix. So, come along. Let's get to fixing. Okay. So, you turn your faucet on and that's the first thing you see is water gushing out like that. Well, you want to shut it off. We'll take this off. And there's a good chance that the washer inside here Oh, if there actually was a washer inside here was damaged. So, you can see there's actually not a washer in there. Well, that's the first thing. You need a washer. So, bam, washer. These bad boys, you can get a pack of 10 for about a couple bucks. I'll put a link down in the description box below.
