Outdoor faucet turn shut off. What I discovered. Rebuild kit won’t help you here! Figured I’d pass on what I learned. Sometimes simple wear and mineral deposits can do ya in !

Thanks, Kev! Yep--same thing with our 40 year old MANSFIELD outdoor frost-free faucet. Handle spins and won't shut off. We used to live about 5 miles from the MANSFIELD CO., here in Perrysville, OH, and I'd just walk in and they'd give me the needed part FREE! GREAT PEOPLE. But--now they're gone and PRIER has the business. Thanks for the cut away. My stem and male threads are shot like yours and I fear just replacing the stem won't help and the matching femaile threads are probably too far gone as well. Replace the whole thing!
@kennethwood2089 Thanks for the feedback and story! That’s awesome! Good OL’ fashioned customer service! You’re welcome for the cutaway! It was kinda neat to see just how these things work. Take care! Kev 👍
thank you so much, same problem. was wondering what was in there
@jeremycollins2950 Thank You very much! You are certainly welcome. I wondered for years and finally thought I would check it out! Take Care 👍💯👍
I have to admit I’ve never seen the inner workings of a frost proof shut off valve …now I know ,thanks for the in-depth look. 👍🏼
Your Welcome OBG 👍 Thanks for your comment 👍
I like how you explained using a cut-away. Mine is around 20 years old now and I will definitely be buying a new one if something goes bad!
Thanks Dennis. I never would have guessed my problem was a lime or calcium build up that kept it from threading…. It just suddenly kept turning. Luckily It had a hose attached to stop the flow. Thanks for your comment!
Great video, I have rebuilt all my Woodford faucets on my house. They lasted 25 years, easy to rebuild. The neighbor had a plumber come out and replace one of his, cost him $275. The rebuild kit cost $22. 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
I believe that! Rebuild when you can!
Appreciate the comment!
Awesome
Thank You so much! Appreciate you stopping by! 👍😎👍
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Patty
Your welcome! Thank You very much!
That is really cool! well done on the cut-away, that's very informative on how it works.
Thanks So Much Mr. Kongable! You’re channel inspired me to dig a little deeper!🤙
Thank you, I wondered how it worked inside. I have one that leaks. After seeing your cut away, I’m going to try to fix mine.
Best of luck to you 👍Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it!
Just trying to pass on what I discovered! I always wanted to dig into one of these… I never understood how it “shuts off” inside my house lol 🤔…..sometimes they simply wear out..that along with mineral build up…hope you enjoy also have a “short” you can check out if you want?
you think somebody’s feeding your line of crap trying to sell you a new faucet instead of a simple rebuild… But as you can tell things get worn out over the years. To be honest, I’m not positive whether or not there was more originally more male threads ? there does not appear to be? ….. or if these threads were more pronounced and just simply wore out? Anyway it was a learning experience for me I hope it helps somebody out!
I recently had a leaker on what was probably one from the 1960's. Wouldn't shut off. When I unscrewed the valve stem and pulled it out, the washer and most of the screw were missing. I figure it must have been brass. I replaced them and reassembled the thing and it still leaked - badly. Got a bright flashlight and looked down the bore of the thing and saw the old faucet washer still in there. It took some time with a hook made of hanger wire to get the thing out, after which all was well.
I bet that felt good discovering that washer! Sweet! 👍😎👍
@@Kevscancave Yeah, well in retrospect it did. At the time I'd been crouched down in the corner between the porch and the wall with the bib, in the cold, in the mud, at twilight, spending at least 1/2 hr. digging out that washer. It was more like relieved than anything else.
I totally understand that! It’s never as easy as it sounds. Story of my life! Thanks for sharing your experience 👍😎👍
All right. 6th friend.
Nice to meet you, buddy.
Thank you for sharing a good video.
I subscribed. Have a happy day.👍🏼
Thank You appreciate it! I’ll check ya out!
Thanks for sharing the video. Fixing to watch more. 👍
Thanks Spanky! You got a very cool channel by the way 👍😎👍
Hey Kev! Cool collection of stuff! I really dig the huge champion sparkplug! And I subbed you!
Thanks! Dougster! Have no fear! 👍😎👍
@@Kevscancave not while I'm here!
👍😝👍That’s a good one!
Thanks
Your welcome! Thanks for your comment 👍😎👍
Mine won't stop flowing water unless it is pushed in.. I have a clamp keeping it sucked in until I can repair it. This video now leads me to believe the threads are bad and a rebuild kit won't fix it. Thanks even though I was hoping not not have to climb under my house .. 😆
Hi @rocweiller! That’s pretty much the same thing I had. I had to put pressure on that washer. I actually never thought of the clamp. ? That’s a heck of an idea 👍😎👍… I dreaded getting into my crawlspace! Thank you so much for your comment. Really appreciate it.👍😎👍
Just replace the whole unit--thank me later.
Thanks Kenneth! 👍💯👍
Very nice 🤠👌👏👍
Thank You ! 😎
I wonder where can I buy that faucets.? Because I went to Menard and AC they don't have it
I didn’t find the exact one I wanted at Menards.. however, Home Depot, Lowe’s Ace, Menards or even Amazon might have what your looking for… Thanks! Best of Luck! …..👍Kev
Nicely done Kev ! It's been a slow roll for me to for subs it's all good if I'm working on it I'll film it and post it. 👍
Thanks Robert! I think your channel is awesome. What I like most, is your creative thinking/Repurposing of items for the Vino- Build!
congrats on the channel Kev and thanks for subscribing (My FJ Holden), best regards Geoff D PS how's things in Georgia?
Thanks Very much Geoff! And your welcome! “Georgia” is where I went through my Military Basic Training. It was at an area of Ft.Benning called Harmony Church. I actually live in Illinois. Take Care!
7th thumbs up brother and thanks for sharing this video with us and have a great weekend and 🆕 Subscriber here 👍👊😀💯
Thank you very much I appreciate that! Right back at ya!
oh man yeah I need to do that too lol
We had the vertical type. and the base must be in a stone pit that will absorb the water that drains when its shut off. However our red clay subsoil just holds water like a plastic jug. and they failed to drain properly and froze anyhow.
Thanks Collector- Good to know! Appreciate your comment! 👍😎👍
Great video
Thank You 👍😎👍
Nice cave there, Kev.
Thanks Much. Appreciate that. Take Care!
Amazing❤❤❤
Thanks! 👍😎👍
There's a serious problem with repairing these faucets - it can be extremely difficult to find the proper replacement parts. Most of these faucets don't stop working for, what, 20 years? Product inventory changes over that long. Many of these faucets lack brand and model information, so identifying the proper parts can be difficult. There are dozens, if not more, of variations of these faucets in circulation each year, and they all differ just enough. Lastly, the big box stores (including most Aces these days) carry parts for only a select few models.
While it is technically possible to easily repair these faucets, I recently spent significantly more time trying to do that than it took me to ultimately swap out the entire faucet (which had been mortared into the brickwork). It was maddening knowing I only needed a $1 part, but couldn't properly identify or order said part.
Watcher, you hit the nail right on the head! Thank You! Excellent explanation! Exactly what was going through my mind as I contemplated finding a repair kit! …. I could see it was a Prier faucet… didn’t see #’s … Prier merged? With Mansfield? … anyway can be confusing unless you do this all the time. … so I was better off just replacing it! Thanks so much great comment! That helps me and everybody else out! Appreciate ya!
Hello, I worked for a hydrant company. All of the needed part information and diagrams (typically included an exploded view of the hydrant) can be found either in the website or by reaching out via email.
9/10 these companies are still going strong and haven't changed designs since they started.
@TannerRaine Great to know👍 Thank you very much for the information!
👍😎👍
250+ good video. Probably saved $250+ minus the part.
Thank You Jay! 👍😎👍
Oh yes.
Nice post mortem on the piece.
Lol😝Thanks! I’m still digging through your channel! Your very creative! Good stuff!
@@Kevscancave thank you.

Thank You very much! Much appreciated I work with a couple “Modelers” and y’all have a talent for making that patina look real! A true talent!
