Default Recommendations for fixing leaky outdoor t-handled faucets (some of which are embedded in the foundation)?
Needs new packing materials for under the nut, also.

For those faucets which come right out of the house foundation (no
screw-off fitting is visible), how are we supposed to replace them?


Turn the water supply off first. Remove the bonnet nut and take the
stem to a hardware store. Match the stem up with the correct size.
Then install the new stem.

I have one hose bib in the garage that is soldered on. Replacing the
stem/valve was fast and easy.
