 how to turn off outside faucet bib spigot
Author: gd007 (OR)

my outside faucet has a red and blue dial however I was unable to turn off the water using these dials. I had to go to the main water box to shut off the water.

curious what are these blue and red dials for then? any thoughts on why turning these dials does not shut off the water?

A Photo would be helpful because you used the word dial. Can you give a more detailed description? Do you intend to use the word Handle? Many of these valves are a Ball Valve. Try again...

REd and blue would usually indicate a hot and cold faucet, but it is unlikely that both would fail at the same time.
