My neighbor tried and tried to fix his leak. His wife is my best friend and I am a pretty handy elderly lady. I did one thing and then another then I finally checked the anti-siphon and as in your case the washer was folded over. It was a newly installed spigot. It hadn’t been on there very long and it didn’t leak when installed. And, it didn’t leak after I repaired it.
Wow...for the last two years I have had to keep a container under the spigot to keep water from leaking near foundation while using my garden hose. If I forgot to turn off the water after using the hose it would drip all day and night. On a whim I did a youtube search and found this video. Just came in from fixing the anti-siphon valve! The washer was ok, but some sediment, probably from plumbing work that was done two years ago and shook up the system a bit. Solved the problem. No leak. No $ spent. Thank you very much. I could never figure out why the cover would not some off when I tried to unscrew it....lol...you taught me how to remove the cover. I will pick up a repair kit to have on hand just in case. Thank you.
Good luck finding a vacuum breaker for a B & K hose bib...mine is threaded on the cap a one piece unit...looked all over mostly all universal which does not work on B & K. Thanks
Nice job! The result speaks for itself :) How did you determine it's the vacuum breaker that needs replaced? Mine leaks water out of the knob and I'm thinking it's the cartridge problem and I plan to replace the whole sillcock. (Why don't they sell just the stem cartridges by themselves?!)
I had the same problem and what I found out is that there are quite a few different replacement assemblies and finding the right one to fit your hose bib might be a challenge. The O-ring that seals the unit may not need replaced , you can probably reuse it if you just put a little bit of silicone or teflon grease on it. The part that needs replaced is the flat rubber washer and it seems to be a standard size for all of them. The ones I got came in a package of 10 so you will have spares and you can get them at home depot, etc. They are the Danco 000 flat rubber washers. the size is an industry standard- triple zero or 000.
Pat, I have a question. I have same problem so I bought the one in Home Depot too. However both new inside piece and outside piece do not fit, so I only replaced that inside rubber ring, is that going to be ok? No leak after that.
Thank you Pat for your quick response and confirmation! Without your video instructions I would have to call a plumber to come to fix it. I am glad I made it. Thank you!
What would you do after fixing when water flows from the spigot appropriately but when the hose is attached the water does not flow thrugh the hose? Assuming its a pressure thing but could there be something else wrong inside the spigot mechanics?
I'm having the same problem! The water flows without a hose. When I attach the hose I can hear it running under my house and the water won't come out the hose. Definitely not my hose! Any suggestions? Thanks!
@@Dreamalea51280 if your hearing water running under your house you may have a a broken spigot. I would go under the house at the point of the spigot and check for leaks. You shouldn’t hear water running if there is no flow.
Hi Paul. The top piece is the vacuum breaker. It is what prevents the water that is in the hose from being pulled back into the water system on the other side of the valve. That being your water pipes that supply water to any of the indoor faucets.
Thank you for the fast reply! Definitely got my subscription, Mine leaks because I hooked up a Orbit 3 station timer , doesn't leak at first until maybe 10 mins in the cycle, is it the gasket/ washer then?
@@franciscobueno6589 I’m not sure. It seems to me that it is the orbit device causing it to leak. It must be causing some kind of back pressure I’m thinking if it is doing that with the orbit device connected.
home depot had 1 kit got home and the cheap made in china plastic threads are 1/8" too big, now I have to just replace the whole thing for 30 bucks,,, what a joke,, original 16 years ago is all metal, made in America and now can't find shit.
I would steer anybody away from a PRIER hose Bibb. Got to be the poorest made valve I've ever seen. They require constant maintenance and the stems strip inside the shutoff because they only use a dab of soft solder to connect the stem to the inside shutoff screw. MADE TO FAIL so you keep buying replacement parts. Stem replacements are a yearly 40 dollars.
If I didn’t have to cut holes in the basement sheet rock I would have just replaced it. Repairing was easier than getting involved in all that and then having to repaint. It was installed when the house was built. Thanks for your feedback though.

You're the best! So damn useful! Thank you for uploading!
You're a legend. Thank you for sharing! A local hardware store will get $3 of my money tomorrow because of this.

Thanks for sharing in your video that the vacuum breaker top pops off. I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t get it off by trying to unscrew it. LoL!
Mine was cockeyed like you said so refitting it fixed mine, so appreciate you making this vid
Thank you so much . I am glad to know how to fix my water leak.
Now I can fix mine! Thanks for the video
Thank you so much, I’ve been watching mine leak for longer than I want to admit and decided I was going to handle it this week.
good luck
Thank you! Had this issue and it ended up the washe just needed to be repositioned. Cost me nothing but about maybe 5 minutes of my time to fix it.
Thanks. I have the same problem. Now I will get right on it!
Me too
I glad I watched this
Thanks. I have the same problem. Thanks, you helped me big money
Don’t forget to de pressurize the water out your hose. Great video! Thanks
Thank you very much for the help. :)

easy fix, good job. winter time drain it

Never knew....thank you
Use mine all the time it leaks and now it won't thanks to you
All done but the admiring
Much easier to fix than replacing the faucet. And instead of buying the kit, I'll just look for a suitable washer first.
If you wanted to get the OEM part, it's made by Prier, part # C-144KT-806 or 630-7500 but it will cost between $10 and $15.

I think it will be fine. I have found it’s always that washer that causes the problem. I’m happy you were able to fix it.

I would check the hose to be sure it’s not kinked or blocked and check the nozzle to be sure it’s working.
I'm having the same problem!
The water flows without a hose.
When I attach the hose I can hear it running under my house and the water won't come out the hose.

We have lived a lot of years without a vacuum breaker, just jab some epoxy putty in there and push the lid back on DONE!
I have mainstream faucet outside (2) both are linking really bad what is the purpose of that top piece?? Could someone get back to me please
Hi Paul. The top piece is the vacuum breaker. It is what prevents the water that is in the hose from being pulled back into the water system on the other side of the valve. That being your water pipes that supply water to any of the indoor faucets.
@@aroundthehousewithpat31 thank you
@@aroundthehousewithpat31 It also allows the hosebib (if properly installed) to drain fully before the winter freeze.
good info but you should put your hands with the parts IN the shot, shheeesh!
Lol. This is a low budget channel. I can’t afford a cameraman to film while I make the repair. Lol
I tried this and the seal is STILL leaking.....
Their different sizes involved??
A universal repair kit should have the size you need
I'm just scared to try it.. do I turn off the water?
Looks like you just have to turn off the spigot.
It literally never. Ever. Hurts to turn off the water. When doing plumbing.
What’s the part #?
I purchased the repair kit from Home Depot. I don’t have a part #.
And everyone has plastic in theirs. Mines like copper. Do I still just screw off?
It should just pull off.

That’s frustrating for sure. We live in a throwaway world anymore. It really is so disgusting when you think about it. Sorry for your troubles.
