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.

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. |
