Hello
In the center of the plastic knob that WAS used to shut off the water, there WAS a threaded spot for a screw.
What threads that still exist, have now been stripped and torn apart.
So I have no handle and no way of turning the water off.
I've tried vice grips to grab anything and turn clockwise, but to no avail.
And I've tried to cap off the spigot with different attatchments, but the water pressure is too great and only breaks the seals in the attatchments.
So, do I need to replace the whole spigot
Or can I dissmantle it
There is still a plastic hex nut
Thanks for any help
