Temporary Fix to No More Leaks! #diy #plumbing #helping others #gardenhose

What happens here

With the internal stem assembly removed, locate the small screw at the end of the stem that holds the rubber washer in place. Use a screwdriver to remove this screw and the old, likely worn-out, washer. From an assorted flat bib washer and screw set, select a new rubber washer that precisely matches the size of the old one. The video indicates a 'double zero washer' was used in this instance. Apply a small amount of silicone grease to the new washer to help with sealing and to prolong its life. Secure the new washer to the end of the stem using the screw and screwdriver.

Goal: Replace the worn-out rubber washer causing the leak.

What they say

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
