Had a slow but consistent leak from the knob, and searched a lot yesterday for how to troubleshoot that, and came back with nothing but installing a full repair kit to fix spigot leaks. I had decided I'd go to Lowe's tomorrow to get a kit for the Woodford Model 17 and get it over with. Then, this video was randomly on my recommends today. LOL Watched over 25 videos, this is the only one to recommended testing the packing nut as an initial step ... it had somehow loosened, and I was able to get a quarter-turn tighter, leak stopped. Saved me $30.

Great demonstration, photography, sound, and explanation. On my original attempt I missed the step of re-engaging the tube with the handle prior to installing the packing...so the spigot leaked! Looking back on the other video I had viewed prior to my "repair," I noted that this step was glossed over a bit. But my bad, all the same. This one is going into my "save to watch later" bin, as I am certain I will be needing it again. Well done.

Little note. When tightening the packing nut with new washer don't tighten as tight as you can get it. This way if it leaks in the future you can simply tighten a bit more to stop the packing leak.

Likely it's the packing (seal) behind the packing nut. The handle screw doesn't hold back any water at all. The shaft that it screws into goes through the packing inside the packing nut. Hope I didn't confuse you too badly.

Your video was very helpful - thank you! I purchased a 3 year old home with Woodford faucets - some hot/cold and some just cold. I don't know what model numbers they are so I'm hoping the numbers are stamped on them somewhere. My question is "do you know where I can purchase the basic parts (e.g. valve seat rubber, rubber check valve and packing washer) for the Woodford faucets? You said "your local hardware store", but my local Home Depot and Lowes don't carry those specific parts.

Thanks for the great moustache and video. I am purchasing a home and inspection pointed out a leaking hose bib on the outside of the foundation is likely causing some mold inside the finished basement where the drywall meets the floor. I presume this means the hose bib leak is actually leaking inside and draining onto the floor causing this mold. Does that mean drywall needs to be removed, mold killed and cleaned up and that should be it to address this? Or can there be worse downstream effects?
