    You obviously did something wrong. Check your installation.

    If you valve is a stem and washer assembly faucet (see image) Then Harold nailed it.
    Open a handle until it starts to leak. Now snug up the topmost packing nut until the leak stops, Careful!! don't over tighten.
    Good luck, Tom
