  • Dripping tap....

    Is their a adjustment / fix / bodge to stop my outdoor tap leaking?

    It's mainly from the actual tap (red arrow), but possibly also from the join (yellow arrow).

    Most important factor is I can't, or am not sure I can shut off the water:

    • local shut off valve is old and has been painted over
    • main exterior water shut off doesn't appear to be connected (idk if this was an old school thing, or a bodge, or what)
    • water pressure is savage (although there is a toilet connected which I can flush to temporarily reduce pressure

  • You can try undoing the nut the red arrow points to without shutting the water off and squeezing some PTFE round the stem(?) before doing it back up. Search "leaking stop tap" or similar on YouTube for examples.

  • The red just might need a nip if that doesnt work loose it off and try tape it.

    The yellow it will need a washer 3/4 fibre is my pick if it isnt running down from the top.
