@Steven1Cicero 6 месяцев назад

Biggest problem I have where I deal with over 300 of these in the park I work in, Is the brass screws that break off inside of the stem when trying to replace the seals. packing nuts can just be tightened up to stop leaks from below the handles most times.

@bulletproofhandyman 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for the insight!

@dhgmllcshea5038 6 месяцев назад

Since you've got the stem out, take the handle off and remove the packing nut and seal, then some careful torch work to heat the washer end of the stem can help- before you break the screw, that is... Once the washer starts smoking, yank it out to reduce smoke. I usually put some silicone grease on those washer retaining screws when reassembling...may help postpone corrosion, may not.

@pauldardeau5532 6 месяцев назад

Very useful and practical content presented very clearly! The last time I was asked to replace a hose bib I thought I was going to break the copper pipe that the hose bib was threaded to (even with a backup wrench). I didn't have the know-how or the parts to repair it. I had to throw in the towel on the job and not make any money on it. Now I plan to get the parts needed for repairing them. When the fix is to replace the washer or the O-ring, do you automatically do the other too?

@bulletproofhandyman 6 месяцев назад

Typically yes, I do that for most jobs. If I already have something opened up and all it needs is an extra minute or two and 12 cents worth of parts, I'll go ahead and take care of both at the same time.

@WatchRob 6 месяцев назад

As someone else mentioned, up north we have a lot of frost-free valves, Woodford and Prier seem to be the two most popular. I’ve always just bought the kits as needed but since going full time this might be something worth keeping on hand.

@bulletproofhandyman 6 месяцев назад

This is the first time I'm hearing of these frost-free valves. I'm glad we don't have them down here. Learn something new everyday!

@HandymanMark-oy2zb 6 месяцев назад

Man I wish we had such simple ones. In Colorado we get COLD. They all have to be freeze free. The connection is 12” into the structure . Usually includes drywall repairs as most have a finished basement.

@bulletproofhandyman 6 месяцев назад

That sounds way less fun...

@rickloudermilk6351 6 месяцев назад

grandpa used to flip those flat washers over and reuse them. depression era.

@bulletproofhandyman 5 месяцев назад

I imagine that would work for some time

@rajg7037 5 месяцев назад

Looks like all these parts come off soo easy but only problem is it does not. Thats why we carry new shut off valves

@bulletproofhandyman 5 месяцев назад

If they come off, most of mine do, then I repair. I don't waste time fighting a packing nut, I just replace the whole bibb if that's the case. Most of the time they just need a new washer without risking a shoddy plumbing job at the elbow inches away.

@TojiZenin3956 5 месяцев назад

Thank you. I was looking for this video. Could you tell me the size of the 0 rings used in both sinerios

@bulletproofhandyman 5 месяцев назад

You'll need to get an assortment and match it up. They're not completely standardized.

@decastring 6 месяцев назад

Excellent video with great details! Also, I really appreciate your approach to the business side of being a handyman (kits & processes)! I'm stuck with a vacuum breaker that looks identical to the old one on your sample hose bib, including the rusted set screw. How can I back out that screw to remove the old vacuum breaker (it's leaking)? Thanks!

@bulletproofhandyman 6 месяцев назад

Technically you can drill them out, but you'll likely damage the threads for the hose. If I need to remove a leaky vacuum breaker then I just replace the entire hose bib.

@decastring 6 месяцев назад

@@bulletproofhandyman Well, darn. I was trying to avoid replacing it for the very reason you stated in the video. It's stubbed out of a stuccoed wall and I've been afraid of breaking the pipe inside the wall.

@bulletproofhandyman 6 месяцев назад

If you can't get a backup wrench on it, then you can still try to drill it out. The metal that the set screw is made out of is pretty cheap metal so it's easy to drill through, you just have to be careful not to destroy the threads of the spigot.

@EveronesInvited 5 месяцев назад

If the vacuum breaker leaks, do you have to replace the entire bib since the set screw is set?

@bulletproofhandyman 5 месяцев назад

That's right, at least that's my policy. You can drill the screw out but you'll nick the threads on the bibb.

@WatchRob 6 месяцев назад

Thank you. Is it best practice to just replace both or all 3 including the Teflon gasket if we are already there? I’m sure the customer would be disappointed if a couple weeks later the valve starts leaking somewhere else. Also, once the vacuum breaker set screw breaks off how do we remove an old one? Drill it out?

@bulletproofhandyman 6 месяцев назад

I drilled a few out when I first started, but now I just go ahead and replace the whole valve. It's pretty rare that you can drill it out without damaging the threads.

@michaelmolter8828 6 месяцев назад

Ha! If the hat wasn’t a giveaway that you work in the south, the 12” curb key sure was! Ours are 40-50” in the ground.

@bulletproofhandyman 6 месяцев назад

I'm hearing a lot about your hose bibs up north since I posted that video. It makes me want to order some to do a video comparing them and showing a similar breakdown of how it's put together.

@michaelmolter8828 6 месяцев назад

@@bulletproofhandyman Yea, ours are quite a bit different in shape, but have the same parts. The idea is that the valve is in the warm side of the spigot be that deep underground or through a wall, and a handle on a long shaft connects a the handle to the valve. After the valve shuts, all the water in the cold side that's suseptible to freezing drains out. Only real difference is we think a lot about sloping spigots so they do drain. They still get blown up all the time, because if you catch an unexpected hard freeze over night and didn't disconnect your hose, they don't drain and freeze.

@bulletproofhandyman 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for all that extra information!

@davidlampe4153 6 месяцев назад

I have seen an old plumber who used some other methods it was a while ago about 1983 he had a leak on a hose bib and used lamp wick on the stem threads to resolve a leak under the packing nut. He used a drill to remove a frozen screw in the end of the stem the water had corroded the steel screw threads welding them together. He once used a seat reamer for cleaning up the scored seat caused by over tightened stem and crushed washers are these still viable methods for repair or do you replace the hose bib rather than put in that level of effort/ time?

@bulletproofhandyman 6 месяцев назад

I wouldn't do any repairs to the body or stem given how affordable they are to replace. If the repairs I showed in my video don't get the job done then I would replace the whole thing.

@waltercheeks5309 16 дней назад

Why do some people not like vacuum breakers installed on their hose bib?

@bulletproofhandyman 16 дней назад

I don't know. It's a good safety device

@kristopherdickson6606 Месяц назад

"Backup" wrench works. But a proper pipe wrench helps prevent breaking of the water lines as well. Notice you referred to the crescent wrench as a pipe wrench but it's not, maybe just to refer to the "backup" wrench? Maybe not useful enough to justify buying or lugging around, but I've found them particular useful for doing things like shower cartridges and hose bibs. Obviously you know what a pipe wrench is, but many of us have a "not broke, don't fix it" approach, let me tell you, plumbers use em for a reason. Broken pipes are no fun

@bulletproofhandyman Месяц назад

Oh my, that's embarrassing, I try really hard to use the correct names for the tools. I'm surprised that I refer to a crescent wrench as a pipe wrench. Thank you for the clarification

@kristopherdickson6606 29 дней назад

@bulletproofhandyman oh gosh man, the names of tools is something I struggle with, probably more than you. But I was mostly just pointing out that a proper pipe wrench helps prevent the very serious issue of breaking pipes, honestly don't even need to secure the line most of the time. Considering you brought it up yourself, I just figured I'd share on the off chance you've never used one. Worth the purchase

@MyGuyKirby 6 месяцев назад

How can remove that vacuum breaker to replace when they go bad and leak under pressure

@bulletproofhandyman 6 месяцев назад

The only way to remove it is to drill out the set screw. Doing that is likely going to damage the threads and you'll end up replacing the hose bibb so typically if I need to replace the vacuum breaker then I just replaced the entire hose bibb.

@donf3739 6 месяцев назад

I can't believe you just wasted a brand-new vacuum breaker. 😀 I worked in a factory where they make millions of similar compression valves, and what you call vacuum breakers. (We call them check valves). Anti-backflow is very important in case the water main pressure drops for any reason, like someone opening a fire hydrant up the street, and nobody should NOT want to have one on their hose bibs, as well as their supply line. Great video.

@bulletproofhandyman 6 месяцев назад

@donf3739 6 месяцев назад

You might want to remind people to always have the stem backed away from the seat when screwing the bonnet in or out, so the coarse drive threads on the stem don't work against the finer bonnet threads.

@bulletproofhandyman 6 месяцев назад

You're right, I should have mentioned that. I actually have that in my written instructions but I didn't cover it in the video.
