Looking for some advice on how to repair my backyard faucet. The problem is that water sprays out the stem area when water is turned on. I had planned on putting new packing in the stem and also replacing the washer.
My problem now is that I can’t figure out how the take the faucet apart to make the repair. I thought I could unscrew the section between the 2 arrows on the photo but that is a solid piece. It looks to me as though the faucet is a single piece from handle to threaded end and may soldered to the water supply pipe.
The house is about 30 years old and the faucet may be part of the original construction.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
