Turn off water. Support Pipe as you remove & Replace faucet. Use plastic thread Tape. Enjoy.Helpful Reply -

Easy way - Buy a threaded ball valve adapter, screw on to existing outlet, attach hose. You are fixed. Leave faucet handle turned on and the lever on ball valve turned off until needed. I have done this on many outdoor faucets on 1970 vintage houses where the handle threads have worn out.Helpful Reply -

Thank you so much. Fixed one water outlet by tightening bank around faucet. BUT, one leaks even when water off. So, I will try your solution on that one.Helpful Reply -
