Question I installed two new outside backflow preventor faucets (Mueller 12" frost free, quarter turn). Now there is a vibration noise when these faucets are used. This didn't happen with the old facuets, but they didn't have the backflow feature. Need to know about the knob (back flow hardware) on top of the faucet? Should it be loose or should it be tight? Or what else may cause this noise?
