One of our two outside faucets is leaking. Specifically from where the base meets the brick.
It’s not a washer under the handle nor is it the anti-siphon valve.
I was thinking I could simply replace the 8-10 inch stem, but most of what I see online is multiple parts. Would it make sense to simply replace the entire hose bib?
Fortunately, we have a dedicated shutoff to the two outside hose bibs so I can keep it off until I fix or replace it.
This is the original hose bib installed when we built the house 29 years ago so it’s tough to complain about it leaking at this point.
