Freeze free faucet leaking.
Hi i have a frost free faucet and i made sure it was off and no leaks were present before winter.
A frost proof sillcock faucet hose spigot is an excellent choice in climates with freezing winter temperatures since the faucet s design prevents water from remaining inside the faucet near the exterior wall where it can freeze and split the faucet body.
Don t crank it hard.
A leaking frost proof faucet can waste a lot of water but fixes are simple whether the problem is the faucet stem washer assembly the vacuum breaker or just a loose retaining nut.
If you re lucky you can fix your leaking faucet by simply tightening the nut under the handle.
I un assembled the entire faucet including taking out the rod without turning off the main water supply.
Remove the knob s retaining screw or nut and pull off the knob.
When i came to turn my faucet on in the summer there was no water coming from the faucet.
Remove the packing nut by turning it counterclockwise.
