my garden water tab is leaking when i connect it to a water hose. I
have used different hose but *got the same result exactly. Please see
the following 2 pictures. The first one show from where the water leak
and the second one shows that i cover the tab with white strap to
prevent water from leaking but it is not leaking from there, it is
leaking from other location, please see the picture (it is hard to
explain it)
thanks a lot.

Looks like water is leaking "down" the hose. *Have you checked to make
sure there is a rubber washer inside the hose connector. If no washer,
buy some rubber ones -- not the plastic type as they get brittle.

thanks for your reply, i used all kind of hoses, with rubber washer,
without washer, with plastic washer and all were new but all have the
same issue, the water keeps leaking.


Hmmm,
Use Channel lock or Vise Grip wrench and tighten the hose fitting pretty
firm and see what happens. Looking at the bib, looks pretty old house?
Up here they are all anti siphon and anti frost type.- Hide quoted text -
