Fix Shut Off Valve Leaking at Stem

- Step by step instruction showing how to stop a shut off valve from leaking at the stem.
Water shut off valves often leak at the handle or the stem after they have been turned. It's easy to fix a bathroom sink, toilet or any other shut off valve that leaks through the stem after it's been turned.
The packing or bonnet nut can be tightened to stop a valve that is leaking when it is open. Sometimes Teflon packing rope needs to be added under the packing nut to stop the leak.

I'd been waiting for the handyman for over 2 weeks who was not turning up. Ultimately this video solved the problem in 12 seconds.
You've made good use of your time while waiting for the handyman. Good to hear you were easily able to fix the problem.
Wow, fantastic video! I am a DIYer and watch lots of vids on various topics. Rarely do you see one so well organized, thorough, and clearly explained. Hats off to you on this 5-star vid!
Thanks for the compliment, Dallas. I do spend a lot to time making the videos. I'm having fun making them and I like helping people solve problems. There are now over 200 how to/repair videos on the channel.
I was literally just thinking the same thing what a great job on this video.
We as women tend to give great detail to delicate matters. I watched several vids and hers was far superior. Sorry fellas! 😘
@@unbotheredmovement No need to tie things to gender here. Can we simply call something great when it is, and lacking when it's not based on objective measures and leave gender/race/religion out of it?
Greatness doesn't discriminate.
@@dallasbiggz7007 I agree, but listening to her gave me the courage to tackle my valve leak. So, if you don't mind, can I shout "Girls Rock" for a lil while longer? Please and thank you! 🤗
Why do all these videos show a new looking valve compared to mine which looks like a piece of coral?
😂
Fixed my issue in under 2 minutes. Everyone should make fixit videos like this.
Clarity in instructions, speaking voice and accompanying visuals. Attention to detail while being succinct. Very well done and helpful.
You are welcome, George. Thank you for the compliments.
I've been through over a dozen videos looking for a solution for my washing machine shut off valves and this is the only one that even mentioned "tighten the packing nut." Thank you!

Your instructions were the most clear presentation that I have ever seen about plumbing. Not only did you show what to do with its contingencies, but you explained EXACTLY how to do it. AND you did not have your hands in the way when it came to performing any of the steps. I have watched a lot of plumbing videos about replacing and fixing parts including whole house hook-ups to wells, faucets, toilets, RO systems. They are usually frustrating because they do not include all of the information that you need - usually at the critical point where you need to see how they are inserting new parts. I realize the shut off valve is an easy fix (if you are lucky) and I am going to go straight to your website the next times I have a plumbing repair to do.
Thank you for the compliment. I try to make every video with all of the detail needed and as short as possible. CZcams and internet search engines do not always reward this behavior and rank the videos at the top of the search page. I have many other home repair videos on the channel which are grouped by topic in the playlists. You can also search the channel's contents by typing in keywords in the search box on the Know How Now channel page.

this video saved my life. thank you
This video just made my day! I have had a leaking valve for the last year and a half and all i needed to was tighten the packing nut. Thank you so much!
It's my pleasure, Paul. Good to hear it was an easy fix for you.
After a handful of videos, I finally came across this one. Very informative, great lighting, good up close camera angles, clear audio, steady camera, etc. Thank you for making this video. Much appreciated.

@@Know-How-Now Very helpful video. It's extremely frustrating when someone feels the need to add music & try to be funny. You kept your video short, easy to understand with clear instructions & good lighting.
Thanks for the compliment. I am always trying to improve the videos. This one was one of the earlier vintage. There are now over 200 how to/repair videos on the channel. I am having fun making them and it's nice to hear that people are finding them helpful. Have a great day.
Agree. There are too many poorly quality videos on CZcams. It is so nice when a creator takes the time to produce a clear, understandable, high quality video.
ditto that! Great production values, wonderful audio. Poorly made videos make simple things like this difficult to do, and yours makes a simpler (but new to me) fix even easier. Kudos.
Wow! You saved me one plumber trip today! You gave such explanation in detail, and could follow it to the teeth. My leak stopped! God bless you and you may continue to use your expertise for many out there. Thank you again!!!
You are welcome. It always makes my day to hear that one of my videos was helpful.
Wow, what I need to know to feel comfortable with this repair. Thank you for your time sharing your expertise in an empowering manner. Two thumbs WAY UP!
You are welcome, Bill. Thank you for the compliment.
Not the Valve video I was looking for, but the one I didn't know I needed
I love it. First one with the valve explained where you may not actually need to replace it.
Excellent! 1/3 turn tighter fixed the leak.
Thank you so much for your clear, easy, directions on how to repair a leaky shut off valve. You saved me a lot of time and frustration. I was thinking I had to take the entire value apart and replace washers when, in my case, all I had to do was tighten up the packing nut to stop the leak. Much appreciated !!
You are welcome, Scott, it's my pleasure to help.
I have a leaky valve under my sink. Watched a number of videos, but this by far was the best. Thank you.
You are welcome and thank you for the compliment.
Great video -Right to the point with no nonsense banter. My sink water valves leaked after I closed them and reopened them after replacement of a faucet. I closed the valve, took of the handle and slid off the packing nut. Inside was plastic and junk. After cleaning that mess out. I used Nitrile O-Rings from Harbor Freight and slide two down the valve stem. Tightened the packing nut and re-installed the valve Handle. The problem was that indeed the packing washer or whatever was used had failed. The O-Rings compressed and stopped the leak.
Thanks for the informative videos.
Thanks for the compliments and for taking the time to write about the details of how you repaired your valve. It will be helpful to others who have the same type of valve. Great idea to use O-Rings.
A very nice and helpful video. It gave me the confidence I needed to do the job. It saved me time, potential water damage AND a lot of money. Blessings to you!
It's my pleasure to help, Dar. Way to go on being resourceful and finding a solution & the successful repair.
Hands down this is the best video on this subject, on CZcams!
Wow, thanks the the compliment!
An angel. My house shutoff valve was spraying water and I had visions of having to replace the valve. After watching the video, I tighten the bonnet nut and problem solved. This was a clear and precise presentation. Hugs your way. Thanks.
You are welcome. It's always good to hear the video was helpful.
Everything is perfect about this video! Very informative and every step was shown at a close up!
Thanks for the compliment. I try to make quality videos.
I can't thank you ENOUGH for this well-done, informative video! I had no idea what process was needed to stop the leaking at the shut-off valves behind the washer. But as I watched and listened to your video, it made perfect sense why the leaking was occurring at the faucets. As the comment below mentions, I couldn't find the valve rope ANYWHERE, and I was SO ready to get the leaking fixed. I decided that until I was able to locate and purchase the rope, I would improvise with "MEGATAPE" pipe thread tape. I figured I didn't have anything to lose, and it was worth a try. It was a little difficult because of the cramped space I was working in -- but I eventually got several rounds of tape wrapped around the stem beneath the nut (which I had raised up because of your instructions). I slowly screwed the nut downward, compressing and incorporating the tape into the threads. By the time the nut was seated where it needed to be, the leak had stopped! Obviously this is a temporary fix until I can get my hands on some valve rope, but for now the seal is holding. Thanks again for this wonderful insight into a perplexing problem.
You are welcome. Thank you for taking the time to comment about your experience....way to go on finding a temporary solution!
Thank you! I’ve been dealing with fixing plumbing issues here and there in my house for entire month. This one just one of the issues.
Thanks!
You are welcome! Best wishes for the plumbing repairs.
I watched several videos and yours was the simplest and clearest. During the repair process (I used packing material) the shutoff handle broke. Went to my hardware store, got the handle replacement and put it on, and everything is working fine and no leaks. Doing laundry now. Thank you very much!
You are welcome, Margaret. Kudos to you on the successful repair.
I truly liked the ways you carefully described things. You were very precise, thank you.
You are welcome. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for the compliment.
one of the best descriptions of fixing the problem. Very clearly explained in good English. Thanks
You are welcome. Thanks for the compliment and for watching the video.
I appreciate that you made sure to explain things thoroughly. I don't know the exact terms and what things are called and you explained it all so it's easy to understand. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Thank you. This explanation is much more clear and the video angles make it easier to understand than other CZcams videos on the same topic.
You are welcome, Ann. It's my pleasure to help. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I try to make quality videos.
Excellent video and easy to follow!! My faucet stopped leaking, using the Teflon tape as you demonstrated with Teflon rope. Thanks a bunch!!

I had almost gone through an entire pack of Teflon rope trying to fix these leaks in my valve stems. You were really helpful showing the whole process of closing up the leak by continuing to tighten the packing nut little by little. Being afraid of overtorquing the nut, I wasn't tightening it enough for the leak to stop and had almost resorted to replacing the whole valve. Thanks a bunch.
You are welcome. It's my pleasure to help. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Your note will help other people with the same concern.
This may have just fixed our problem. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make this video!
You are welcome Erik!
THANK YOU! The Teflon rope and clear instructions worked perfectly!
You are welcome, Jim. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
I just wanted to say thank you for this video, I almost left for a hardware store to buy another valve because it didn't even occur to me to just tighten up mine. You won a like
Thanks for taking the time to comment with some kind words and for the like. Have a great day.
A top-notch video. Clear and concise.
A+++ Video! When 2 different plumbers came by the house to inform me that this was going to be a THOUSANDS of dollars job to replace the entire gate valve AND the piping to the street supply valve, I thought I’d check UTube in desperation, to see if I could find a solution.
This video gave me extremely clear and concise info on repairing this gate valve!!! Everything worked as instructed, and it worked as stated!
Thanks for taking the time to put such a great video together 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You are welcome, Harold. Sorry to hear you had two bad plumber encounters. As the saying goes knowledge is power. Congratulations on the successful repair.
Easy to understand the instructions for a beginner DIY with a well thought detailed information. Thank you.
You are welcome. Thank you for the compliment.
Excellent instruction on how to correct the issue. Thanks.
You are welcome. Happy New Year!
Great video. Clear explanation without technical stuff I can't understand. Good to know I don't have to go buy expensive tools. Just what I was looking for. Thanks so much.
You are welcome, Maryl. It's my pleasure to help.
Thank you so much!!! I had to turn off my tub's hot water and cold water feeds to replace an old faucet handle and back plane (escutcheon) and when I went back to open the shut off valves after, the hot water one started dripping! Your video's first thing to do, tightening that connection, WORKED! You know your stuff! Thank you, again!
You are welcome, Paul. It's nice to hear that you had an easy repair. Have a great day.
Thanks for the video! I tried tightening the packing nut first, but it still dripped. I then tried the packing rope, tightened down the nut, and now no more dripping. Thanks again!!
You are welcome! It's always great to hear the video has been helpful.
I have this issue on my old toilet shut off valve and have never worked on any sort of pipes or vales before, this is very informative! After I go buy some of the supplies I need I will try and fix it up, hopefully it all goes well! Thank you for making such a great video with so much detail!
You are welcome. Best wishes for a successful repair.
Phenomenal video. Instructions work perfect. Thank you. This saved me.
You are welcome.
Very good. I was going to replace or repack the valve and all I had to do was tighten the thing!
Thank you very much. I discovered a leaky valve in the basement today (Christmas day of all day!) I was about to call a plumber but then decided to do a quick search on youtube first. I simply tightened the packing nut and NOT MORE DRIPPING.
You are welcome. Way to go on saving your Christmas day.
one of the best, most complete explanations I've seen. great video, really showed what was going on. thank you, you just saved me $400 in plumbing costs.
You are welcome, David. I always enjoy hearing that the video has helped someone.
Thank you for this video - made the repair, no leaks now!! Thanks so much for posting.
You are welcome, Kent.
Thank you so, so much! I watched a number of videos and yours was definitely the most helpful! Cleaning off some of the deposits and packing rope seems to have fixed it 🤞.
I didn't see any washer/fibrous material, maybe a little bit of waxy material/graphite, but not what looks to be a substantial amount. Hopefully didn't knock any/too much off when I was fiddling with the brush in the tight space 😬 but seems to be holding. Also little edge bit of the packing rope was squeezed on the threads and pokes out a bit.
I'm a licensed electrician but I've been doing property maintenance for the past 6 years. I do everything from carpentry electrical plumbing flooring etc etc pretty much everything. We have over 200 units and there's only me on a service truck. I run into my first packing nut leak today and was just going to replace the valve like I always do, but it would have cost me two or three hours to do so. Thank you for taking the time and your videos on CZcams it was a huge help and very successful to me. 💯👍
Hi Rich, it's my pleasure to help. Thank you for taking the time to write, I enjoy hearing from people who watch the videos.
This worked! Thank you so much. Saved me over a hundred dollars not to call a plumber. You show how easy it is to repack the valve, which I didn't realize I could do at all.
I inadvertently closed my browser window and lost your video. When I searched for "repair straight stop valve" again, it took me about ten minutes of looking through other, less helpful videos until I found it again. Once I had your video back up it took less than ten minutes to fix!

Thanks for the video and the inspiration to try fixing my valves again. I saw similar videos in the past and have had mixed results... some successful, some only partially successful, but "good enough". After watching your video, I thought I try it again, and now things are good!
You are welcome. Way to go on the successful repair!
FANTASTIC! I had a leaky valve, exactly the one you showed in the video. I live in NYC where EVERYTHING is expensive. Over the phone, all the plumbers I called quoted me over 100 bucks and some said I would probably have to have them replace the whole valve. They said that once it leaks from the stem, you need a new valve sweated into the copper pipes. That wold cost a few hundred dollars. I've changed washers and seats for many years but never knew how to stop the leaking around the shaft. After all the crazy estimates, I just said no. There MUST be a way to fix this myself. SO, I found your video and VOILA! I did the job and changed the washer while I was at it and it is PERFECT. Good thing you mentioned the sweet spot. YOU SAVED ME MONEY ! ! ! GOD BLESS YOU ! ! !.

The "sweet spot" is a great tip! Didn't realize... glad i didn't just keep tightening
Seen a few videos first as others have also stated in your comments. Yours was the best at explaining things step by step. I have a leaking cold water valve going into my water heater. I tried teflon tape but not rope. Will do this tomorrow. Thank you!
You are welcome, Mike. It makes my day to hear the video is helpful.
I watched 6 other videos and this one explained the best and showed the best. Big thumbs up from me
Thanks for the compliment... I try to make quality videos. This was an early one, so it's a little rough. The newer ones are better.
Great video, very simply explained and presented! Thanks so much!

Know How Now Your video sure helped me. Thanks. Saved me a lot of money because the packing rope was only $3.40! It stopped leaking after turning on the water supply!
You are welcome. Some times it's a little tough finding the packing rope, but it's worth the hunt.
Great video, really helped me out with a late night leaky valve. Thank you.
You are welcome.
Excellent video. I had trouble lining up the handles correctly when reinserting the valve.
Thanks for explaining the details that other videos don't include like how many turns of the rope to use before tightening the packing nut. Etc.
You are welcome, it's my pleasure to help.
Thanks. This video is clear, easy to understand and helpful.
You are welcome.
Thank you this helped us stop our leak! Now we can return the valves we bought.

You are welcome. It's makes my day to hear from people who watch the videos, I hope you have a great day too.
I just fixed two toilet valves using your video. I knew what to do, but it had been more than 20 years since I last had leaking toilet valves. I did a quick Google search to confirm what I remembered or fill in any blanks in my knowledge. I was right, it turned out, but until I watched your video I was afraid to do the work. Thanks very much for this.
You are welcome, thanks for watching the video and taking the time to comment. Way to go on the successful repairs.
Thx for making this video. It helped me fix the leaking cold water valve behind my washer.
You are welcome. Way to go on making a successful repair.

You are welcome, it's my pleasure to help!
great video. You always provide clear and accurate information! Thanks!
You are welcome, thanks for the compliment and for watching the videos.
Thanks for sharing the two types of valves first
You are welcome.
This video really helped. All of a sudden my hot water valve for my washing machine started leaking. I bought a new push fitting valve to replace it. Then I tried just tightening the nut and it stopped leaking. Thanks for the help.
You are welcome. Way to go on being resourceful and finding a simple solution before you replaced the valve.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It is easy to follow. Well done.
You are welcome, it's my pleasure to help.
Absolutely PERFECT video. Thank you!
You are welcome, Gavin!
Thank you! I had a very slow leak around a stem and tightened a tad. Now, no leak!
You are welcome! Way to go on the successful repair!
Thank you much! Just fixed my leak with a quarter turn!!
You are welcome! Congratulations on the successful repair!
Thank you! My son in law just watched this and your video helped him stop the leak. I found your video tho! Thanks for sharing this! 👍❤️
You are welcome, it's my pleasure to help.
thanks for your swift reply. Found that all of the old 3/4 valves had those very thin metal washers (1980's). So I assume they were manufactured that way. I've soaked them all in vinegar to remove mineral deposits. Before I put them back together I'll stock up on 5/32 rope. The one i did with your method stopped leaking..even with only the thinner rope..that lead to reworking all of the old ones laying around that had been replaced with 1/4 turn ball valves ( that I thought would last forever..).(.they are getting clogged) . I didnt try tigbtening tbe bonnet on the first one, maybe that would have prevented the leak without packing, can't hurt adding it nevertheless I guess. All that will remain is finding the rubber washers if they are available & replacing the damaged ones. Sure will save lots of $!!! Replacement brass valves that I have found are $12, $18, and $22 yikes. I have 50 of them laying around. Glad I didn't recycle them!!! Thanks again. Do you have any input on the rubber washer that screws onto the valve stem & stops the flow of water?
Thanks for commenting on your results, it may be helpful to others who have the same type of valve.
I find that so many new things appear to be made cheaply or appear to be designed to fail that it is sometimes better to repair the old better manufactured item than replace it. If you have to pay someone to do the work it can be expensive, then the item installed quickly fails and you will have to pay to have it replaced again.
I have two videos that show how to replace the rubber washer on the end of the valve stem. I also am adding many more videos, you can click on the channel name to find them or subscribe to the channel, it's free. If you subscribe you easily find the channel.

I watched a few videos before this one, and yours was by far the best. I just repaired my washing machine valve stem leak, and I have a few tips to add.
1 The big box crews may not know what packing rope is. Check online to make sure they have some. I went to one that didn't. I went to another that did.
2. Make sure that you get the nut threaded back on securely before you turn the water back on. I thought I had it, but no I didn't. Took another trip to the water shutoff. I should have gotten the smaller packing rope. You need a few nut threads exposed to catch hold of the valve threads.
3. The old packing in my nut was compressed to the point of being like a gooey concrete. It was difficult and time consuming to remove. Think about how the packing works. It has to be a bit squishy to close the gap around the stem. If there's no squish left, the gap won't close. If it's leaked before and been tightened to the max, you will have to clean it out.
Thanks for taking the time to write the additional detailed and helpful tips.
Lowes and Menards both carry the stem packing material, graphite and teflon
I was wondering if the old packing material had to be removed, I have 2 of these gate valves that are 46 yrs old, they have leaked before when shut off, I would like to fix them so they don't leak the next time I shut them off when I replace the washing machine with a new one.
@@dddddd2100 Maybe not. It would be best to remove it if you can.
Watched several videos on the topic. This as the best
Thanks for the compliment, Jim. Sadly, CZcams has recently stopped promoting a lot of my videos. I suspect they are too short in length, apparently, having you watch longer is better than quality. Please support the channel and subscribe, pass it along to friends. I'll need help from viewers who think the videos are good.
SHE WAS GREAT, THE BEST. HAT OFF
This video is so helpful! Thank you so much. I really appreciate that!!!

You are welcome. The 5 minute repairs are the best kind!
God bless you ,very helpfull video and very clear to understand.
Thanks for the compliment Oscar.
