No, no, no. Over time you may have to snug it 4 or 5 times and then you won't be able to turn the handle. The correct way is to loosen the packing nut, but don't loosen all the way. Let the water dribble into a cup or on a towel for 20 or 30 seconds. This relieves pressure off the packing material allowing it to absorb water thereby expanding the packing and lubricating the handle shaft. NOW snug the nut until it stops dripping. I usually give it an little extra snug after the drip stops just to be sure, and always back up with another wrench. Signed: A Forty Year Plumber

​@SilverCymbal There was a water main break on my block and immediately after they fixed it, my hot water stopped coming out of all of my sinks but hot water comes out of my shower. There is no way all 3 sinks in my house have a problem. What could stop the hot water from coming out, only cold water comes out of my sinks?? Also, my hot water valve was leaking but I turned the nut and it stopped. But I still have no hot water coming out of all of my sinks?

Completely agree. All my valves, including at hose bibs are quarter turn. Gate valves can deteriorate over the years if never exercised by occasional closing and opening. Especially if internal corrosion occurs. The corrosion can help maintain leak proof condition, until the valve is exercised and nothing short of replacing the valve can fix the problem.

Take the time to replace the packing nut valve with a quarter turn valve. A quarter turn ball valve will last many years longer than the packing nut valve and it won't leak. Itcs either open or closed, no in between, therefore no leaks.

Thanks. In the beginning of video, I noticed that the SS mesh connector to the toilet was twisted badly, this was installed incorrectly. You should make a video on this. I did this years ago and it caused a 4” deep leak in my basement, before I realized what was going on, I was not home at the time (out for dinner). When I checked the SS mesh, many of the small pieces had broken and it sprung a leak. Now I test these connectors from time to time (usually 1st of the year) by running my hand slowly across the connector and if I feel any snags (this will pinch the skin and it will hurt like a needle pinches your skin) I know this hose is falling and its time to change it. Thanks….Jim PS….thanks for mentioning the 1/4 small valves, that’s all I use. The valves in your video should be replaced about every 20 years. I use only double compression valves (on copper pipe in my home) and changing these valves is a lot easier. A friend of mine is a plumber and he introduced me to these years ago.

This works. Except when it doesn't. If valve is older (which is when they tend to leak) hard water deposits tend to eat away at that washer. In my experience, tightening the packing nut works about half the time. And even in instances where it does work you are simply delaying the inevitable. It needs rebuilt. Good information to know. But if you want it fixed in a more long term fashion just rebuild it. Not hard and you'll know it'll be good for another decade or more versus months or a year and change
@DystrophicEvolution

"One time, he was drilling in the crawlspace and threaded a new TV cable through the 🕳, he told me to drop a screwdriver down the hole so he could see it. I did exactly as he required and heard, " Not in my 👁 you stupid idiot; god**** it, you almost poked my eye out, you moron ! " Like I'm supposed to have X-Ray vision to see exactly where he's located underneath ? Tried to help my late Dad with car 🚗 maintenance too and failed that test of " Manhood " as well !

This may or may not work. Its more than likely going to stop the drip, but, it could also make the drip worse and have you scrambling to find the shutoff valve.
