Leak from spigot/garden hose connection

Asked Jul 20, 2009, 04:48 PM — 13 Answers
I replaced the garden hose onto my outside spigot. Now it leaks from the spigot/hose connection. I then purchased a threaded pipe extension to hook the garden hose onto that but still it leaks from the spigot/hose connection.

I never had a leak with my old hose and as I also tried the pipe extension and the new hose and both give me leaks I am at a loss.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance

OK. You said that there is a rubber washer there, correct. If reasonably tight there should be not leak. First inspect the end of the hose bib to insure that it is smooth, no nicks or grooves.
No nicks or grooves, put a second washer in the end of the hose. With two washers the hose connector should easily seal.

Ok thanks I'll pick up another washer tomorrow and see if that does the trick. If not I'll try that thin stripped plumbing tape and put it around the spigot

Thanks again you've been super helpful
