That was excellent. Thank you.
Should have just put a ball valve in.
Replace that crappy old-school valve with a ball valve!
no plumber's tape required?
Is that the ground wire for the whole house?
Code here makes me have a gate valve on both sides. I hate that. So I have 4 shut offs. At the street then two gates at the meter socket and then a full port ball valve. Problem solved never touch the gate.
Looks like a 3/8 large or 1/2 inch Bibb washer
the city is coming to shutoff my water tomorrow for this exact issue. I have a lot more copper pipe to work with to potentially replace my valve with a ball valve if needed.
Good job! Only problem is the washer you put in is made today, I bet it only lasts 5 or 10 years and it will need doing again, everything made today is made to fail quickly.
I replaced hose bibb washers that were 20+ years old. The new washers lasted maybe 3 years before they started leaking. I changed the hose bibbs out for 1/4 turn ball valve type after that.
@@sixter4157Isn't it sad the way thing are today? Yeah ball valve's are the way to go.
Good fix, but also, dude! Get some kind of mini phone stand or something so you don't have to do everything with just one hand! I'm feeling sorry for you over here! ❤❤
Just had mine replaced with a ball valve.
All the old hardware stores around me have pretty much gone out of buisness and now im stuck on speeding 3$+ on a bolt
Lol, didn't even replace the valve
What washer 🤔. 😂
None of these IS going to match. None IS big enough. NONE is a singular subject. Two are, one is, none is...
