I open the valve before adjusting the (packing)nut behind the handle - but I have to ask why go through all this? Replace the darn things - it takes 1/2 the time, is very inexpensive and solves the problem 100%. Hill
: I had some "frozen" angle stops. A plumber fixed them by adjusting
: a nut behind the adjusting knob. However, the water comes
: out at a very slow rate now. The angle stops are open
: full. I guess I need to adjust the nut but which way do
: I turn it? And do I close the angle stop by turning the
: knob before making the adjustment?
