Leaking garden hose valve.

I doubt the seat is replaceable. Even if it was, it would require a very specialized wrench. Looks as if that's a 12" FF.

Bottom line is. If it were my house I would replace the whole thing. That is a rule I use when at customers homes as well. Do you want to be messing with this thing again two years from now?

I'll be honest....I'd have to completely agree with Reedwalker. If the replacement consists of jacking the entire valve from the outside, have you considered capping off the pipe somewhere accessable, and adding a new one at an easier to access location?

Thank you all for quick reply. The town house is built in a way that all pipes are buried inside walls. The basement is fully finished with walls and ceiling covered by drywall panels. The layout of the pipes inside the wall is very hard to guess. I think I am better of punching a hole on the other side of the wall and make myself an access panel.

I will take pictures as I proceed and let your guys know how it goes. Thank you again.

Good luck!
