Any good tips on where to by stem replacements? I have a leaking faucet and the screw that retains the rubber washer is broken off. I have been unable to locate the stem replacement.
Awesome video! And very informative and detailed! Great job!
@@mdawn1984 check on Google like what size is your faucet and you could buy a faucet repair kit you'll get many sizes!
@My Pets true
Can you address the splitter or shutoff valves? You know the brass ones where you turn the little nib to open? I have a bunch which aren't opening or closing completely....help!
I had a leak on an outside faucet which I foolishly ignored because I was ti cheap to call a plumber but to scared to do it myself. I wasted so much water that my water company alerted me. I followed your video, although I just replaced the whole thing and bam! I fixed the leak. I’m pretty proud of myself!!
Thanks for posting! Outdoor faucet leak stopped. I just happened to have the exact size washer needed to replace the old worn out one. Saved my $$ on buying a new faucet.
I love the no-nonsense style here, even editing out the breaths. This man respects my time.
I also love the super quick repair at the very beginning and the four variants at the end. Quite the information sandwich.
Outstanding video with very clear, concise explanations. I was able to fix my faucet in minutes with this. Many thanks
My faucet is actually leaking and I’ve been putting off calling a plumber. What amazing timing. Thank you!
Thanks dad. I'm nervous but feel much more confident after watching.
Glad it was helpful
@@SilverCymbal subscribed, thumbs up.
I just watched a ton of videos about this issue and your tutorial is hands down the most informative! Thank you ❤
Thanks for this - simple to follow video saved me a lot of pain - didn't realize such a small washer could cause so much trouble. Bought a little package so that if it happens in the future, I can fix it in literally minutes!
Wow, glad I stumbled upon this clip! I had replaced an outdoor faucet recently and was feeling pretty proud of myself. My thrifty wife didn't want to throw the old one away, and now I learn that I can probably reuse it!
As always, you cover so many things. I have an outdoor faucet leaking, as usual, I check your channel before starting a project, and here's the fix. Thank you.
This is an excellent “help” video! I have watched many many “how to fix” videos but I have never seen and listened to one that was presented so great! Well done! The voice was very easy to understand (even for us southern boys :) and the video moved at an easy to follow pace! Very well done and thank you, Rick

Upvoted because the first thing you showed is a way for anyone to fix the issue quickly with no effort.
I appreciate that, even I use that method when I have an issue, then I can take time to figure out what to do. Those caps are like gold when you need them
Thank you!!! This is the best video on this, now I know we can fix our leaky faucet and not pay a big fee to have someone else do it!
This was a great help because I have that same problem and now I am going to do the job myself ! Thanks once again Sir !
Thank you so much for posting these videos. I was able to repair one of my outdoor faucets. I could not have done it without your great videos. Now I have the confidence to repair the other one.
Go get it bud! To quote Ron Swanson on DIY... "The sense of accomplishment and pride. Dammit... I just love it so much!".
Fixes leaking washing machine hookups in a rental. Took less than 1 hr, including the trip to the HW store. THANKS!
Used this video to repair a faucet on my house that has been an issue for YEARS.
Greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Glad it helped
Fantastic video! I’ve been plumbing for 16 years now and you’ve covered nearly all of the great tips! I’ve started another channel devoted to plumbing repairs and some appliance repair too. I really appreciate how your commentary is ongoing throughout.
Good video. Always turn the stem all the way out when removing and reinstalling.
Explained nicely, clearly and quickly. Very good video thank you.
Nice crisp video.
You could also use the old washer's back side if the rubber is not cracked up.
Thanks for your instruction it's saving money for calling a plumber, God bless you and your family..
Thank you for showing me how to fix my leaking faucet. It was definitely a job I wouldn't have tackled without watching your video and now I feel so empowered.
Thanks SC ….. you have a lot of home repairs and projects! Thanks!
Show repacking around the shaft and your video is complete. I sent your video to a friend to help him out. I didn’t know what the frost free looked like on the inside. Thanks.
Excellent precise and super clear instructions and tips. A big thank you
Thank you sir. I didn't know the washer on the frost free could be repaired. You save from a ton of work.
You’re the man!!! Easy to follow instructions. Thought this was going to be a task, but including running to the store to buy supplies, done in under a hour. Plus it fixed it… so I guess that’s good too.
Much appreciated thank you so much!
Just had this exact problem. Solution worked like a charm. Thanks for sharing this video
It's also possible that the washer has increased diameter through being compressed for many years so the new washer you need may be a slightly smaller diameter than the old one.
Great video, concise. You should do one on leaking out of the stem when the faucet is turned on.
The stem packing is the next point of leakage. 😊
Awesome video. Replaced my washers from faucets before. But learned some valuable info. Kudos. Looking forward to your next one.
PERFECT timing! I have a faucet to repair this weekend. Thank you!

you covered so much here, other RUclipsrs would of milk it into a series of sitcom videos. great job saves me a lot of money by doing research and buy parts and did it myself. TY
Glad you liked it!
@@SilverCymbalthank you, you know that outer nut also has a washer and I never know where to get that washer because the hole of that washer is much bigger than the washer kit (which i also got).
My hat is off to you… you know a ton of stuff... 💪🏼. Thanks for making these videos. 👍🏻. Troy
I've got a couple of outdoor valves that need this tune up. My father left me a nice assortment of washers. I'm gonna replace them after watching your tutorial.
Thank you very much.
Hands 🙌🏼 down... BEST HOW TO VIDEO ON RUclips!!! Thank you!! 🙏🏼
Wow, thanks!
@@SilverCymbal I agree!! Amazing camera, zoom, lighting, very clean work areas, and I luv your speech style!! And of course, most importantly, I learned soooooo much from it!! This is after I watched at least 3 other videos on fixing a leaky spigot, So thank you very much!!! And yes, hands down El Cherlee Lopez!!
Very well done video. Clear, comprehensive, easy to understand. Thank you.
Thank you for this. I fixed my spigot today in less than an hour with about $2 in parts.
This is the fourth video I've watched and it is superior.
thank you for the clear, how-to presentation
That's exactly the information I needed. A million thanks!!!
I somehow stripped out one of the ancient valves in my shop which is very old and had to replace it but it also had a slight leak and it was definitely that washer. Replacing the washer and handle today as a temp fix thanks for the vid and wish me luck! 🙌🏼
You know what I already knew about how to fix the leaks and strange enough the screw cap you showed at the beginning is what I found interesting as I have not seen it before.
Very timely for me 😉 I've got one faucet that needs attention. Thanks for another great video! 👍
Much appreciated, glad it was helpful
Same! I was looking at a slow drip outside yesterday
Much like D.C. just found out I need to service one. I have, in a pinch, flipped the washer over putting the groove on the back side and the fresh flat side of the rubber towards the seat. Returns the faucet to leak free service until you can get to the hardware store.
Nice video. clear and efficient. I did notice that the toothbrush left a bristle that got stuck in the seat. The cloth did not remove it. Suggest checking inside with a flashlight to verify cleanliness before re-assembly.
It'll come out eventually with the water flow
Just found your channel. Really like your presentation. Thank you for clear, concise information!
Thank you. This video is extraordinarily helpful.
You cover all the bases; good video !!!
Appreciate all of the faucet examples
Thanks for the basics. It’s appreciated greatly.
My new favorite channel. Thank you so much!!!!
That’s great information,thanks,that’s one item that requires maintenance sooner or later,and with as many faucets in a house,it’s good the have a replacement kit.👍
To imagine 'standing with the heroes of the faith... with one voice'!!! So awesome to think of that day!!!
Your channel is fantastic. Thanks for making such high quality DIY videos.
Thank you very much! Very nice of you
this helped me fix my leaky outdoor faucet. thanks!
I work at an Ace Hardware store We see issues like this constantly. Many times a rubber washer is all you need. Once in a while we recommend changing out the faucet. Most customer that I see are able to do the job once you show them how easy it is.
Precise..thorough..and a huge help...thanks.
Thank God somebody knows how to hold things where you can see them and get to the point when describing and instructing.
Appreciate what you do here...very informative! Thank you
Thanks for posting. I turned on a hot water tap in our garage yesterday to do some cleaning in our garage, and turned off the faucet when I was finished. Unfortunately we woke up this morning to see a stream of water on our floor coming from a constant drip from this same faucet. I'm hoping we can fix it ourselves after watching this, and not have to pay a plumber. The house we bought was built in 1994, and it seems like there's one thing or another going on it these past 3 years lol.
Great video.
Very detailed & complete.
Excellent video, clear and to the point...thanks!!
Nice vid, I have that frost free type that was leaking and I went out t find the whole shaft but home depo only had an assortment kit that had a combination of each gasket possible for those types, just not my kind, I used one that was close but still leaking. I was about to replace the whole thing but now I know it’s just that gasket. Thanks
Thank you for sharing. What a very helpful tip.👍
Very nice and clear video - helped a lot - thank you
This has my seal of approval👍
Good how to, I had to do this a few years back.
Outstanding, great general repair hints!
I do not even have any of the types, but watched until end. Great stuff!
I really appreciate that
you left a bristle in there!
I love your video. One faucet outside for gardening leaks. I will try tp replace a runner gasket. Great video. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for sharing. This is on my weekend "to do" list.
Just what I’m looking for to keep from getting ripped off!! Thanks
Thank you. This was clear and helpful.
6:13 I went thru all my faucets, drain assemblies, fixtures including a new main floor toilet .All my stop values were fine after nearly 25 years but I had plastic stem repair kits just in case.This washer bib 6:13 will be the last one I've been putting off because I managed to be able to do all the replacements/repairs without turning off the main shutoff. I had been doing a annual turn on/off exercise on both of my shutoffs but started skipping the procedure & wish I hadn't. I have a well pump house so you don't just run out to the street if you have a problem.You turn the power off to the pump quickly. Thanks for this video cause this will help me finish all of my repairs.......for now.
Thank you for this advice, it worked for me.
I have used metallic rope seal packing, on leaky two inch valve stems. Worked great for 140psi municipal supply lines.
love your videos thanks. Also, if you can't get the washer out, or the handle off, you can buy a whole new valve if you can find one the same, and just screw out the whole part with the handle and washer and all, and screw that into the old valve, and save having to replace the whole thing or call a plumber.
Excellent video, as usual!
Reseating tool was great in my bathroom. You need it when the washer replacement doesn't work. We have lots of minerals in our lines and there were grooves and deposits that needed smoothed.
That's a great tip and for an indoor valve it's definitely worth the effort since that can get very expensive fast.
Blaster is much much better to loosen snug nuts or bolts ! this a terrific video THANK YOU
Proving once again, there are still good things & people in Mass!
Whoever did the electrical or the plumbing needs to do it the right way never have an electrical plug below a water source. That electrical outlet is not even a GFI. I would sure hate to be in that garage if that water line sprays water into that electrical outlet. Always make sure the electrical is above the water source and away from it the rule of thumb if you can touch the electrical outlet and a water source at the same time you need to have a GFI. Thanks for a great video it was very informative
My guess is they installed the plumbing after the electrical was done, but yes I completely agree it either needs t be changed out or the breaker changed to a GFCI
Thank you for sharing how to do this
Thanks man I never knew how to do this. I thought I had to call a plumber to fix the leak
Thank you for your very informative video.
Excellent video!!! Thanks very much for your effort.
Really good video. Keep em coming.
Thanks! You just saved me a call to my local handyman
GOOD JOB YOUNG MAN..
Hah, thanks for the great video. I have a strange valve handle (and have MS) so I had to call the plumber this time. But I DID just buy the caps. Did not know they existed. Fantastic. Thank you!
Excellent video, thank you!
Very good tutorial. Thanks so much :)
This was so helpful! Thank you very much 😊
Well done repair instructional video!!
I wish i had seen this weeks ago. Thank you.
Super good video. Very helpful. Thanks.
Great info. Question- where does one buy washer or valve replacement stem for these spigots? Thank you.
