Outside faucet

[mstng86]

This faucet started leaking with the water on. I took it apart thinking I just need some gaskets or something. It looks like you can't just get the gaskets at lowes. Is this one of those that just unscrews and taken completely out?

Take the stem out and replace the washer on the end.

is that from your kitchen? you will want to do it from the inside so you can put some backup on the fitting, so you dont break that joint and flood your shit.

The leak is not at the end of th stem. It's only when I turn on the faucet. The rubber gaskets are bad.

Tremor, it backs up to my master bed room. That's what I'm worried about. Breaking the pipe behind the brick.

i'd start with the stem, if nothing else you can try one of the dual outlet type attachments that has its own built in stops. Otherwise you are going to have to get to it from the inside wall. Main reason i asked if it was from the kitchen is that there is usually one there and it is easily accessible.

This is what i have.. mine leaks too, but barely, i just leave it cause im not trying to open up a wall right now, and to be honest that little bit of water dripping is probably good for the little bit of soil/foundation.

It's not leaking at the outlet when turned off. It's leaking at the handle when I turn it on. It's speaying through the screw hole for the handle. Where can I get the gaskets for this thing.

If you need it, I can give you the number for one of my mason's. He can pull and replace the bricks so you have access to replace it, if you are concerned with twisting a pipe. I can probably get him to do it pretty inexpensively

One of the most common causes of a leaky spigot when turned on, is a loose packing nut. Try tightening down the packing nut while it's turned on before you go through the hassle of replacing it. It may not be your problem, but it's worth trying.

If that doesn't work just take the bad washer from the stem to a plumbing supply store and match up a new one. Will probably cost you $2 and your time.

is the packing nut the screw in the middle of the handle? I have tried that. I took it all off and the bushings were all broken apart inside. I think I may have found the bushing kit from the manufacturer.

ahhh yes yes, I see now. That was a little loose when I started taking it apart.

oh well. I went ahead and ordered 2 packing kits. I have the same issue in the front faucet.

yep. i have to tighten mine down a couple times a year. a simple turn of the wrench, but easy to overlook. just don't over-tighten. it'll damage the washer and you're back to square 1.
