QHAJRYYC 58 PCS Faucet Washers, Faucet Washer Assortment Kit, Flat and Beveled Faucet Washers, Beveled Faucet Washers Hose Repair Kit, Faucet Washers Assorted Kit

A practical fix for drips and dribbles

A slow drip from my hose bib had been driving me up the wall—and quietly inflating the water bill. Rather than replacing the entire spigot, I grabbed this 58-piece washer kit from QHAJRYYC to see if a ten-minute repair could solve the problem. It did. Over a few weeks, I used the kit on an outdoor spigot and a laundry sink faucet, and it’s become one of those small, inexpensive assortments I’m glad to have in a drawer.

What’s in the kit

The kit is straightforward and focused on compression-style valves and hose bibs:
- 52 rubber washers in ten common sizes
- A mix of flat and beveled profiles
- 6 brass bibb screws

The sizes are printed on the washers themselves, which is more helpful than it sounds. When you’ve got the stem out and a handful of similar-looking parts, being able to read the size instead of guessing by eye cuts down on trial and error. The assortment covers the typical range used in older indoor faucets, hose bibbs, and many shower stems that rely on a compression washer to seal against a seat.

Materials and build quality

The washers are made from a medium-firm rubber that strikes a good balance between pliability and durability. Too soft and they deform prematurely; too hard and they don’t seal well without cranking down the handle. These sit in the Goldilocks zone for most household repairs. Edges were cleanly molded and consistent—no ragged flash that needs trimming.

The included screws are brass, as they should be for corrosion resistance in wet environments. Threads were clean and burr-free. My only gripe is that the screw selection is limited; in one repair I reused the original stem screw because the head profile in the kit didn’t seat quite right. That’s common with washer assortments—consider the screws a handy bonus, not guaranteed matches for every stem.

The washers are black, which hides grime and oxidation and doesn’t telegraph wear the way lighter compounds do. After installation, they’ve held shape and seal without sticking to the seat.

Fit and compatibility

If you’re dealing with compression-style faucets and hose spigots, this kit covers most common scenarios:
- Flat washers: for flat valve seats (typical in indoor compression faucets).
- Beveled washers: for conical seats, commonly found in outdoor spigots and some shower valves.

Between the ten sizes, I found fits for both my outdoor hose bib and an older utility sink faucet. The beveled options are especially useful outdoors, where seats are often irregular and a bevel helps center the seal. If your fixture uses a cartridge, ceramic disc, or proprietary insert, this kit won’t help; it’s specifically for washer-based valves.

One practical note: “close enough” isn’t good enough. If a washer is slightly oversized, it can mushroom and fail early; undersized and it won’t seal. The printed sizes make it easier to match by measurement instead of guesswork.

Installation experience

Both repairs took less than 15 minutes each. My general process:
1. Shut off the water supply (at the fixture for a hose bib or at the main for some indoor valves).
2. Open the valve to release pressure.
3. Remove the handle and stem assembly.
4. Inspect and clean the seat. A mineral crust or nicked seat can defeat a new washer.
5. Choose a replacement: flat for flat seats, beveled for conical seats. Match the diameter and thickness to the old one.
6. Attach the washer with a brass screw. Snug it—no need to crank it down.
7. Reassemble, turn on water, test, and make a small tightening adjustment if needed.

Having the sizes printed on the washers saved me from a couple of back-and-forth trips between the bench and the spigot. If you have plumber’s grease, a dab on stem threads and packing is a nice touch while you’re in there, though this kit doesn’t include packing or o-rings.

Performance in use

• Outdoor hose bib: A steady drip stopped immediately after swapping in a beveled washer. Over a few weeks of regular use, the seal remained tight and the handle didn’t need extra force to stop the flow. No squealing or stiction on opening.
• Laundry sink faucet: A flat washer replacement addressed a slow seep at the spout. The seat had some mineral build-up; a quick clean with a nylon brush helped the new washer contact cleanly.

In both cases the rubber compressed predictably without feeling gummy. I didn’t need to over-tighten the handles to shut off the water fully, which suggests a proper seat-to-washer interface and appropriate rubber durometer.

Value

There’s a lot of utility here for the cost of a takeout lunch. Even if you only use a couple of washers a year, the kit pays for itself versus buying individual packs or scheduling a service call. Stocking both flat and beveled profiles across ten sizes means you can tackle an emergency drip without driving to the store mid-repair.

For landlords, maintenance techs, or anyone caring for an older home with compression valves, this assortment is the right kind of redundancy: inexpensive, compact, and broadly useful.

Limitations and caveats

• Screws may not fit every stem: Keep your original stem screw handy. In one of my repairs, the included brass screw didn’t seat as nicely as the OEM hardware.
• Not for cartridge/ceramic valves: If your faucet uses a cartridge or ceramic disc, you’ll need the manufacturer’s part; this kit is for washer-based designs only.
• No packing or o-rings: If your leak is around the stem (water seeping from under the handle), you might need packing or an o-ring in addition to, or instead of, a seat washer. This kit doesn’t cover that.
• Seat condition matters: A deeply nicked or corroded seat will chew through new washers quickly. In that case, you may need a seat grinder or a seat replacement—neither is included.

These aren’t flaws so much as boundaries of what a washer kit can reasonably address, but they’re worth keeping in mind.

Tips for better results

• Clean the seat: Mineral deposits and grit are the enemy of a lasting seal.
• Match thickness as well as diameter: Too thick and you get a mushy handle feel; too thin and it won’t seal under normal torque.
• Use plumber’s grease on threads and packing: Smoother operation, less wear.
• Don’t overtighten the screw: Snug is sufficient; crushing the washer reduces its lifespan.
• Label what you used: If you keep a home maintenance log, note the size installed. The next repair becomes quicker.

Who it’s for

• Homeowners with older compression faucets and hose bibbs
• Property managers maintaining multiple units with mixed-age fixtures
• DIYers who prefer quick fixes before buying replacement valves

If your home is outfitted entirely with modern cartridge faucets, you’ll get less mileage out of this kit. But most older homes still have at least one compression valve somewhere—often the outdoor spigot.

Recommendation

I recommend this washer kit for anyone who needs a reliable, affordable way to stop drips in compression-style faucets and hose bibs. The range of sizes, the inclusion of both flat and beveled profiles, and the simple but smart touch of size markings make it easy to use and effective. While the brass screws won’t match every stem, the washers themselves are the star—and they’ve performed exactly as they should in my repairs. For the price, it’s a practical addition to a home maintenance toolkit and a quick path to a quieter, drier sink (and a happier water bill).
