      Currently, my faucet on the outside of my house leaks around the handle when a hose, sprinkler, timer, etc. is connected. Will I have to replace the entire faucet, or is there a washer or something in the handle that can be replaced? The house is 32 years old and the faucet appears to be original. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. KP

      You wont have to replace it, turn off water and take big nut off openning handel as you turn nut and take it to Plbg. supplyhouse and get a bonnet washer for it, might as well put new faucet washer on too. You can try hardware stores too.
