Frost free outdoor faucet repair.

The packing nut is located directly behind the handle and has six flat sides to facilitate removal with a wrench. Buy a repair kit that matches your faucet brand and use the packing from the kit. If your faucet still leaks the stem may be leaking and you should replace the faucet. Most frost free stems are 24 inches long so keep pulling until it s all the way out.

Remove the faucet packing nut by turning it counterclockwise with an adjustable wrench. Use lockjaw pliers to support the frost proof faucet body while removing the packing nut. This component can go bad with use and to repair it you will most likely need a new anti siphon rebuild kit that is brand specific to your faucet. On frost proof faucets the washer is located on the end of the long faucet stem.
