    Hi Jaxonx2...

    Are you asking about a legend frost-free outside faucet? If so, these are supposed to leak a 1/4 cup or so after you shut them off... prevents the pipes/outside faucet from freezing. If you have more than a 1/4 cup or so that drops out after shutting the unit off then exactly where is the drip coming from?

    You can find a full size specification sheet with schematic at this link:

    You can either get a replacement washer (probably won't be available locally) or you will need to purchase a new T550 outside faucet and swap the parts that way... or, of course, you could call the manufacturer for parts... see link below:

    Questions? Let me know...

    Just bought a townhouse foreclosure with a dripping Legend T-550 1/4 turn exterior water hose faucet. It is located in the garage. It seems to have a stiffner at the end, but no handle on it. Its been dripping for a while because the dry wall around it is starting to mold. What part is needed to shut it off, and stop the drip?
