Reassemble the faucet by screwing the valve assembly into the fixture and tighten it with the adjustable wrench. Be sure to hold the faucet in place where it connects the building while tightening the valve assembly.

Turn the water supply on. If the faucet is leaking around the packing nut try to gently tighten the nut. If the leaking does not stop, the packing washer or graphite string will have to be replaced. Turn the water supply off and remove the handle. Loosen and remove the packing nut. Service the packing washer with another packing washer or graphite string and retighten the packing nut. Service the handle and turn the water supply back on to check for leaks.
