: I have a Woodford model 17 outside faucet. There is a regular drip from the outlet. A number of people suggested that I replace the rubber gasket at the end of the rod. I have seen replacement parts (no directions) at hardware stores and attempted to take mine apart, with out success. Are there directions around that can assist me with the disassembly and replacement of the this faucet? : How do you remove the anti-siphon? : Any help would be appreciated? : Steve Garbe I think the trick to a Woodford valve is that the first nut you remove has left handed threads,meaning that you turn them clockwise to remove them.Jogging my memoryMikeStheplumber
