They have set screws? I removed one for a friend last month using a couple locking pliers. I didn’t see a set screw, but if there was one that broke off, no wonder it was so hard to unscrew. Are these required. I figured the back flow preventer was on there because she used to have a hot tub that got water from that hose bib.
