I have a silver (chromed?) frost free hose bibb. It is stamped Mueller B&K. This one has a multi turn red metal handle. It was manufactured in Taiwan. The house was built in 1999 so this should be no older than that.
There is no vacuum break in this model.
The problem:
- Water shuts off fine.
- But when the water is on, the water sometimes leaks from where the handle is.
In conventional faucets this indicates I should either replace the packing cord, a packing washer, or possibly an O ring.
Has anyone ever repaired one of these and can give me a hint if regular parts can be used?
( I ask because I cannot find any Mueller specific parts on the Internet.)
