    Looking for rebuild kit for outdoor water sipigot
    Hello,

    I have a leaky outdoor water spigot that I'm trying to find a rebuild kit for to save myself the trouble of replacing the entire unit. Does anyone know where I can find a kit for a "tanner" outdoor water spigot?

    Thanks for your help!

    I am attaching two pictures for your info, the out door water spigot are easy to fix they leaks either from the packing nut or the washer at the end of the stem, if it leaks from the packing nut just tighten it 1/4 of a turn and it may stop the leak, if it is leaking from the inside shut the water to the spigot and loosen the big nut, remove the stem and change the washer at the end of the stem see the picture, and also watch the clip Thanks.

    Remove the stem and take it with you to a home depot, Lowe's or any plumbing supply I am sure you be able to find the exact compression washer, Thanks.

No water to outdoor spigots [ 1 Answers ]

My house, built in 2002, has well & septic. No water is coming out of the 2 outdoor spigots (the last time I used them was October) and I did not shut off the water. Could the well water clog the pipes, or could someone shut off the water from the outside?
