A dripping freeze proof faucet doesn t have to be replaced.

Hi i have a frost free faucet and i made sure it was off and no leaks were present before winter. Remove the knob s retaining screw or nut and pull off the knob. Remove the packing nut by turning it counterclockwise. 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.
