Are Valves Supposed To Leak?
Hello,
I think my title answers it all. I have a valve that leaks slightly when it turns on. Not a whole lot, but there is definitely water dripping down the side of it. Is that typical? Unavoidable? Or a sign that something is wrong?
Thanks,
Steve

EDIT....completely blew the fact that this was probably a sprinkler system. My answer was for a regular spigot or cut-off valve. Sorry

I'm not home now...I vaguely recall it saying "superior" on the top...but not sure. It is for a home irrigation system. If that's not enough, when I get home, I'll check.
Thank you!
Thank you!
