Thank you for the kind words. I’ve been doing KZbin for a while now and it’s tough making how to videos as sometimes you go into much detail and sometimes you don’t do enough. It’s hard to win. Haha

Excellent instructional video - good, clear, concise step-by-step. Saved me some money too, as I did not even know there was a repair kit, which cost half the price of replacing the whole faucet.

Great video. I installed a Woodford back in 2018 and went ahead and bought the kit for CYA. Something I do to reduce wear is to attach a quarter turn shutoff, then leave spigot on. Then no twisting spigot on and off. BTW I also put these on my 50-year old spigots for my washing machine. For those I use high quality Dahl brand. For outside just decent one from Lowes garden area. I should add that I do remove the quarter turn and properly shut off the outdoor prior to a freeze.

Thank you for your great work on this subject and the video!! This is exactly the method I needed and on the Woodford Model 17. Every thing went according to the video, except that dang anti siphon part. I had to take it apart twice and it still seeps. I was afraid to tighten it any more. It worked fine before, but I had the new parts and decided to change it anyway, LOL

Excellent video! Bonus section: For about $6, get a 23mm 6-point socket for the exterior nut…makes removal and replacement a bit easier. Also, instead of using a screwdriver to get the packing washer back in, use another smaller socket to apply even pressure and maybe a block of wood to help push. Cheers!

Excellent video. The bag of parts I received noted that 2 different check valves are included in the bag and the bevel should be used for "faucets dated 04/98 or later, see packing nut". It also says that the EPDM packing can be installed in any direction.

When I pulled the stem out it did not have a check valve on the end of it. It had no screw hole in it either so I'm afraid the check valve either fell off inside the tubing or it didn't have one?

No reply from anyone yet on that question. I'm wondering if I tried to pull it out when it was on the off position instead of on the on position. I might take it apart and try again and be sure I'm in the on position when I'm pulling. Either way there is definitely no screw hole in the end of that stem.​@@amandajesse

@@trampledunderfoot3630 I got the piece out. I used the long rod to get it into the piece and pull it out little by little. It kept popping off and then I had to gently push the rod back in and pull out again, trying not to push the piece back in. It was a pain in the ass. I put some plumbers tape around the end of the rod so that when I got it into the piece it had more grip on it. If you let everything dry out it might help to put some kind of glue on the end so that it attaches to the piece and then you can pull it out. That might also be a bad idea haha. When I used the rod to pull it out I put more pressure at one angle to try and hook the piece a little while pulling it out. Using a flashlight to look into there helped.

Thanks very much. One final question. You said you still needed to tighten something to make it stop leaking but never showed us what you tightened. What did you tighten please?
@DIYReid
@DIYReid 5 ай бұрын
The nut that crushes the rubber washer. Where the handle goes through. If water is still leaking at all through that tighten that nut until it stops.

Mine had some kind of paper packing about 1/2" thick, and a threaded collar behind it. I guess to help protect from cold, but the collar won't let the assembly come out. Mine doesn't leak when off, but leaks when on 🤔 Oh, mine is 2000 ish so kind of old now.

Wow! I completed this today. What a project. My handle was calcified/welded to the rod. I was able to get the rod out with the handle attached and had to use a jigsaw to cut it off in a vice, and then channel locks and a sledgehammer to eventually set it free. Hell of a project, but all is well and my faucet no longer leaks. I will definitely be putting anti seize on the threads of the faucet handle. If I had to guess my spigot was 20 years old and never rebuilt before.
