Leaking Packing

[doug seibert]

You can find teflon string packing to ADD to the existing packing…..(even with the handle attached)

Shut OFF the Main water

Unscrew the Bonnet under the handle

Turn the handle to remove the stem…..

Now “work” the bonnet on the stem to reveal the packing and ADD the additional wraps of string packing…..

Replace all and check for leaks……

“……measure Once…..cut Twice….
throw that one away and cut a new one….”
