Is the spout fairly easy to fix?

We just moved into the house and this has already started leaking when it’s turned off

Welcome.
Here are some U TUBE; repairing a prier products 300 Series | Wall Hydrant

If they do not apply, on each side of the hydrant will be embossings, identifying emblems and number that will assist in identifying the exact product.

Thank you. I will double check everything and fix it soon.

I bought the kit for a 300 and I guess I was wrong. The parts don't really fit right. The only one that seemed fine was the rubber seal on the end. Now it leaks out the handle no matter how tight it is. Posting better pics soon. The screw to install the handle that came with kit is too big also.

I just need to find a kit with a ton of graphite packing nuts or whatever to find a good fit.

Is this the product you used; Prier 630-7755 Wall Hydrant Repair Kit

There are a number of parts, individually available, at your local hrdw. venders, which may fit. Unfortunately, unless you can isolate that line, you need to shut the supply off to the dwelling, prior to disassembly.

Can you add graphite string and use several wraps behind the packing nut to make it tighter and that should stop the leak and tighten the final plastic nut. Let me know how this works, we used to use it back in the 60's and 70's

I put the old graphite nut part back in for now and will try string later. The washer include to keep the new graphite in place is too big and slides down the stem so the must be the wrong kit.

That is it. No matter what I did the kit would not fit. A plumber came out and said he can't even tell what brand it is. Recommends putting in a whole new spout/spigot 150.

AHHH, a salesman with a product.

Being obstinate, I would disassemble and make a stop at an ACE HRDW., because they stock a wide range of individual parts.
