Terrible hose bibbs
Contractor installed these hose bibbs on a new addition. I think they resist freeze damage or something but whatever this system is they always start shooting water out the top and I have to unscrew everything and reallign the little gasket, then turn the water on slowly. But it always happens again later. When this happens I find that the gasket has been forced partially through the hole which is why it's shooting water out again. Is there anything I can do to make these work consistently? Or do I just need all new bibbs? submitted by /u/dtumd [link] [comments]
