The outside hose valve in my yard does not turn off completely, probably due to a faulty washer. Is there a standard size for these types of valves? It would save a trip to the home improvement store if I could find out the size.

It could be one of several sizes. After you shut the water off, take the bibb apart and look at the washer. Is it flat or beveled? When you get to the hardware store, buy a package of assorted sizes of washers, either flat or beveled as needed. You will find the right one in it.
