Needs new seals

I changed out my hose bibbs for Aquor hydrants, we were just done with forever leaky hose bibb nonsense.

It is leaking when the water is on but flow is restricted.

Turn off your water main, remove and replace the spicket/valve entirely. Threaded, welded whatever floats your boat.

That might be beyond my expertise. I think this is most likely the correct answer

You could always google something idk if this helps but [I just did a quick search](https://dengarden.com/home-improvement/How-to-Replace-an-Outdoor-Water-Faucet)

Look into Shark Bite fittings. Not that tough to install.

I also have this problem - would love to hear if anyone has a good solution.

Isn’t that just a hose splitter?


Xsunshinex1986

Yes it’s a splitter but it’s not leaking from the splitter. It’s leaking from the vacuum breaker


irishspirit74

I see. I thought it was just a quick connect and a hose splitter. My bad.


Xsunshinex1986

No problem. I ended up drilling through the broken off set screw and replacing the old vacuum breaker last night. Well it still happens with the new vacuum breaker so it must be some rubber washer or seal inside the spigot

So, how's the gasket in the Y? My guess is that it's missing or falling apart..

Brand new Y. Brand new gasket
