Can't thank you enough for sharing this video! It's exactly what I needed to do with my faucet. The only difficult part of the job was finding the part I needed. No surprise that the greedy big box home improvement stores only sell the entire faucet assembly, and their staff laugh at the idea that a tiny part inside is all that is needed to fix the problem - but fortunately the trusty neighborhood hardware store wins again. Again, greatly appreciated!

Hi Brian, 45 year old lady here who considers herself fairly handy in the home repair realm. Now that spring has arrived up here in Canada I went to turn on the outdoor faucet. NO WATER!?! My other outdoor faucets worked and the water to that tap wasn't closed off. What the heck? Time to You tube! lol. Your video was the first to come up and although my assembly was a bit different I knew exactly what to do thanks to you. I removed the inner rod and saw nothing but a spring on the end, hmmm. I went down and turned on the water to see if anything flowed now that nothing was inside the tap. Sure enough, there was water now. Plus on the ground now was the little end piece similar to in your video. It had become disconnected and left behind in the pipe. I actually just pushed it back on the rod and replaced everything to see if it still worked and it works beautifully. I'm going to keep my eyes open for a replacement valve just in case this happens often and the part is worn out. Thanks so much, I feel like a DIY pro today.

All urban/suburban houses I've ever seen have the outoor bibs supplied by the same pipe that takes water to the bathroom and kitchen. Usually, the water for the whole house is shut on/off at the outdoor underground valve. However, we live in a condo and each unit has its own valve in an indoor closet that controls the unit's plumbing including any outdoor hose bibs, as well as an underground valve for the whole building. Most problems are handled by turning off the individual unit's valve. This avoids shutting off the neighbors' water to fix YOUR plumbing problem.

Those are different. The valve is underground below the frostline and usually drains the water out of the vertical pipe when off (to avoid winter freezing.) There will be a shutoff somewhere on the property for that waterline. Simple things can be serviced from above ground by pulling the long stem out and replacing the rubber washer, etc. We've had underground leaks that required digging the whole thing out a couple times.

I have an inside valve right behind the wall. It is easy to empty the water in the pipe from the inside valve to the outside faucet (by shutting down the valve first and then turning on the faucet), so that there is nothing to freeze. Why my house still had a 'frost free faucet' installed? It does not make sense to me. Moreover, I cannot figure out how the 'frost free faucet' works, despite quite bit researches and readings -- if the rubber tip (Bibb Washer) worn out, why the problem is 'no water' instead of leaking?

My faucets work, but if I shut off the inside valves for winter, (we have low pressure here, like 50 to 60 psi), when I turn them on in summer, it takes about 5 minutes for flow.

Thomas that is a great question. The meter boxes in our area that stay the cleanest tend to be one with root structure around them. Grass or some kind of ground covering plant. You would want to use a plant that won’t take over but keeps the soil intact. Most boxes are put in landscaped areas and with all the rain they just fill in with dirt. I have the same issue and unfortunately my box is in the neighbors flower beds. I hope that helps.

Here's an attaboy on your fix working. Actually, I'm actually surprised you actually didn't actually run water through the faucet while it was disassemble to clear out any remaining detritus.

Good catch! I should have done that. Next time for sure.

@@ThatFixItGuy so it’s good to run water with the whole stem out, right? Turn the main back on and let it flow for a minute or so?

@impendingrapture can be a few seconds of run time, but yes it could help if something is stuck.
