(fig 4 & 5) if this does not fix the leak, the faucet may have a damaged seat and the f faucet leaks from the vacuum breaker, on top of the faucet, when the faucet is on. I have three of these type faucets on my house, and this happens to one every couple of years I have never had to replace them. One of my woodford 17 outside spigots was leaking from the top When i went to remove the old one it was totally gunked with mineral deposits Used vinegar and backing soda and a toothbrush and it loosened up enough to use channel locks to get it started.
Can i repair my woodford model 17 faucet myself However, if you encounter complex issues or persistent leaks, it’s best to call a qualified plumber for assistance. Subscribed 1.5k 108k views 4 years ago #mcfixit #woodford fix your leaking spigot with this quick fix that you can do in minutes
