Another newbie question...My brand new shutoff valve leaks when I open the valve but not when closed. Not just a drip, but more of a spray. I tried tightening the screw but no help there....
Is this fixable by tightening the packing nut and/or replacing the washer? Can I do this without turning off the water to the house? I would just replace the valve, but it is sweated on in a tight spot in my vanity and I'd rather not if I don't have to.
Thanks,
Pete
