 Yard Hydrant Troubleshooting

 

 

Leaking out of the packing

 

First tighten the packing nut a half turn while moving the handle up and down a few times.  If this does not completely stop the 

leaking, turn the packing nut another half turn while moving the handle up and down.  Sometimes this may have to be repeated 

again and again, depending on how long the leak has gone without being fixed.  Small adjustments are much better than turning 

the nut a full turn or more right away, as that may not be necessary.  If the adjustments do not cure the leak, a new packing piece 

must be installed under the packing nut.  There is no reason to shut off the water to do this adjustment.
