The rubber ring inside every hose coupling. A dripping spigot connection is almost always a 50-cent washer, not a new hose.

Steps

1. 1Unscrew the hose coupling from the spigot.
2. 2Pry the old washer out of the coupling with a pick.
3. 3Press the new washer flat into the seat.
4. 4Reconnect hand-tight and check for drips under pressure.

Maintenance

Swap washers each spring and drain hoses before winter freeze. (Suggested interval: every 1 year.)
