It happens to all of us, one day you go to turn off the hose and it just keeps dripping. That drip can cost you lots of money every year in wasted water, not to mention ticking off your better half who’s had it on the honey-do list for the last 6 months. So, do you need to be a plumber to fix the faucet? No. It’s so simple you can do it yourself.

Hot and cold connection to washer. Nuts below handle were leaking. I used a channel plier and gave both bibs a soft 3/8's turn and that's all it took. No leaks. Returned 2 bibs and saved a lot of money. I would have had to call a plumber to change out the bibs….1 1/2" connection secured inside wall but connected to 1/2" copper line below so could not be sure what I would be working with while unscrewing and could not hold the main line potential for major damage. Thank you for simple but vital info.
Great video. I appreciate people who go slow and explain. One of the better DIY videos I've seen. Thanks!
Thank you. Saved me a ton of time.
My Faucet leaks also only leaks when water is turned on and hose is attached. What will fix this?
so….. what size was it?
what if my faucet does not have a "packing nut"? Mine is leaking when the water is turned on and hose is on.
w00t you just fixed my problem
Ditto on the packing nut. I owe you a beer!
The packing nut super simple fix worked!! I thought I needed to replace the whole thing! Thank you 🙂
I really like how you explain why the leaks occur in the first place. In this case, the washer expands a little every time you close it tight and then it rubs on the inside of the bib. Thanks. Subscribing.
Thank you! And the video looks great too btw.
You just saved me a TON of time and hassle….Thank you!
Thank you so much! Had a home inspection and was dreading having to have the hose bib replaced. What a simple fix.
Helpful tips for a simple fix.
Thank you for this! Extremely helpful and a big money saver too!
Just found out today I can turn my handle both ways – open and close and nothing comes out. The main water is still on and I can get water everywhere else in and around the house. Does that mean the bonnet is shot? Can I just replace the bonnet only or the whole valve/spigot?
My bonnet doesn't want to come off. I can get the hex nut fully loose, but it won't pull off/out… Do I have a unique style of bonnet, or am I doing something wrong, or is it possibly jammed in there?
My hose bibb had the second leak you fixed all I did was tighten the nut and it stopped leaking. Thank You !!!!!
That was very helpful, thanks for posting the video!
Thank you! Just what I needed.
Thanks so much! I've been putting this project for so long because I thought it was gonna be a lot more complicated. I appreciate the video!
Thanks great video.
