When I open my outside spigot I get water spraying out around the stem. When the valve is closed, no water leaks to the outlet or out around the stem. If I open the valve fully, it still leaks around the stem.
Question is:
With the valve closed, can I remove the handle and the nut which I assume would house the seal. I would like to replace this seal. I just don't want to have to drain the pressure tank to do so.
If so, where do I buy a seal? Would it be an ordinary o-ring or some special type of packing?
Picture of the valve is here:
Thanks for any help!
