Reattach Handle and Test Faucet

What happens here

With the internal components reassembled and the packing nut tightened, place the faucet handle back onto the stem. If it was screw-mounted, reinsert and tighten the screw. Now, slowly turn the main water supply back on to your house. Once the water is fully restored, open the outdoor faucet completely to check for any drips from the spout or leaks around the packing nut. Close the faucet completely and check again. If there are any minor leaks around the packing nut, you can slightly tighten the packing nut further until the leak stops. If the faucet still drips from the spout, double-check that the new rubber washer was installed correctly.

Goal: Confirm the faucet is leak-free and functional
