Author: bernabeu (SC) You find the brand of the frostfree hosebib you have and replace the broken vacuum breaker which is the 'busted' part on top. eg. OR Replace the entire unit. ============================================== "Measure Twice & Cut Once" - Retired U.A. Local 1 & 638

Re: How to fix leaking water hose faucet?
Author: dom6183 (NJ) Thanks for the vacuum breaker advice ... probably going that way instead of replacing the entire assembly - because the back end (inside the house) in the basement with a finished ceiling that does not have an access panel. I could always put in an access panel, however, if necessary.
