How To Fix A Leaky Hose Bib | RYCO Plumbing DIY

It happens to all of us, one day you go to turn off the hose and it just keeps dripping.

~7 years later and this video is still helping people. Thank you for taking the time to make it and for helping everyday people better understand what the issue is, how to fix it, and why it's happening.

[JAWZMUZIK]

A lot of guys explain this and they complicate the shit out of it. Thank you for making it simple

[ianneale]

I think this is still the most useful 3 minutes of video I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

[konstantinosvelentzas]

Great video. I appreciate people who go slow and explain. One of the better DIY videos I've seen. Thanks!

I watched this 10minutes ago and now, our faucet is no longer leaking!! THANK YOU!!!

[ampman]

Amazingly, this is the only video I've found that addressed my exact problem. You'll still be helping hose owners in 2099!

Great video. Without actually seeing the used and new washers, I would never have known what the right replacement looked like. Also, I forgot (or never knew) that you could stop a stem leak by tightening the nut. Thanks!

[NathanCastellanos]

amazing. I was ready to replace the faucet but I watched your video and instead, just a trip to Ace and few cents and no more drip! Appreciate it.

[HardlineAthiest]

Thanks, your video just saved me a $500 plumber's bill!!

[AnitaBetterScreenname]

I really appreciate getting the "why" and the "how" . Thanks!

[vaughnbarnett]

This was a wonderful “do it yourself” video. Very articulate in explaining and demonstrating the process. Thanks!

Thank you so much for posting this video!  The previous owners soldered the spigot to the water supply pipe and me thinking I needed to change the spigot, I was in a corner because I don't know how to solder.  Tightening the packing solved the problem and you saved me $ and stress.
Thank you so much!

This video is great! All the others just said to "tighten the packing nut." Which I did, but it didn't stop the leak. Thanks to you, now I know that there are two separate reasons for a leak, which need to be addressed individually. I was about to give up and buy a new faucet, but this video showed me how to finally fix it right. Thanks again!

Best how-to video for the novice I watched, thanks

[Purveyor]

Lots of videos cover the packing for the stem...this is the first I found for the gasket inside the valve.  Thank you for covering both - I thought I'd have to replace the entire valve!

[jenburns]

Thank you! This video saved me from making a phone call “weekend callout for a plumber” You got right to it and didn’t chat to the camera and your directions were clear. 😊

[safesideinc.]

You just saved me a TON of time and hassle....Thank you!

[terrentech]

Your video is the ONLY one I've seen that shows you can just tighten the top to fix the while-on leak. THANK YOU!! Fixed, and I don't need to buy anything, yet.

[joemctarsney]

Due to your video, I was able to save $$ by not having a plumber come out, and I was able to fix it myself. THANK YOU!!!!

[raymondfox]

OMG! I have had a leaky stem forever, and you showed me how to fix that in about five seconds. A thousand thankyous!
