What happens here
Begin by examining the old hose bib to understand the nature of the damage. Disassemble the internal components, focusing on the valve seat. In this case, the screw on the valve was found to be 'chewed up' and the internal seat was severely damaged and not designed to be replaced, rendering the hose bib irreparable. This diagnosis indicates that a full replacement of the unit is necessary rather than a repair.
Goal: Determine if the hose bib is repairable or requires replacement.
