Low water pressure outside faucet
One outdoor faucet water pressure has decreased dramatically in the last month. Other two are fine. No new plumbing installations recently. Copper pipes. No leaks detected. Easy to access. Silcock looks to be 10 yrs old or less. House built in 1967. Sound like a new spigot or just a washer needed??

Turn the water off at the house stop. Now unscrew the bonnet packing nut, (see image) and back the stem and washer assembly out counterclockwise.
Turn the water back on for a second to see if the supply's clear. There should be a full stream. Check the valve body to be sure it's clear and that the washer's intact and not worn out o9r cracked. Reassemble and see if it doesn't work better now. Regards, Tom |

Hi, The other day, we turned the kitchen faucet on and there was no hot water pressure all of a sudden... we just get a trickle. The water pressure in the rest of the house is fine (hot and cold) and the cold water comes out fine as well. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi. My question is similar to one asked a few posts ago except this is a 1 handle faucet. I plan on maintaining the boiler from now on but I have to fix the flow problem first. I disconnected the hot water supply line to the faucet and the pressure is excellent so I assume the problem is in the...
