Hi, an outside hose valve is leaking, i have replaced the washers, but that didnt fix it, I want to replace all the parts that I have circled in the image. But I'm having no luck finding exactly what I need. Is it more common to replace the entire valve in the image rather than just the parts that connect to the top of the

valve?
If its possible to replace the parts I have circled, does anyone know how to shop for the right parts? Thanks

Replace the whole thing and if you are in a frost zone use a
freezeproof "Hydrant" style

+1 To OP: Where is it leaking? Are you in a frost area? I have
never seen the clamp arrangement.

Let us know what you are going to do and it's resolution.



The clamp looks like it might be for a ground wire -
... not sure what outside device would require such a thing .. ?

Definitely a grounding or bonding clamp


Yup that is a relic from a bygone era when you could attach your
ground electrode conductor to any convenient cold water pipe. I think
that went away in the 80s when plastic pipe started being used more
often. I know it was still legal in the 75 code and I never researched
it further.
