So today we're gonna be fixing this hose bit that I put this little temporary valve on. Always just come down here to the meter and hit this with the meter key. Can pop this off? This right here is a frost-free hose bit made by Arrowhead Brass. Let's grab a couple big adjustable jaw wrenches. Get one going for the back up. We're not gonna unscrew the packing nut. We're actually gonna unscrew the back nut and get this apart. They should just spin out. Pull that out of there. We should be able to just replace this washer right here. Oh yeah, that came out like butter. I've got an assorted flatbed washer and screw set. Match it up to the good side. If you're not 100% sure what size it is. And this happens to be a double zero washer. A little bit of silicone grease. Just put this back on. Get that tightened down and fully open it the rest of the way. Arrowhead Brass makes quality valves that are easy to rebuild.
