Sorry, I am completely confused now, the units on the spigots are "vacuum brakers" and are designed to prevent the backflow of hose water into the house. If you have one of these and it is leaking, you can get a replacement from Lowe's for under $10. The trick is getting the old one off, I have found that cutting a slot into the broken off screw will allow you to use a screw driver to loosen the screw and then remove the defective vacuum breaker, then install the new one. I typically do not break off the set screw device so I can replace in the future easily.
