How do you fix a leaky hose Bibb on a faucet?

What should I do if my drain valve won’t turn?
Best practice would be to actually replace the valve, but a good stop-gap is routing a supply hose directly into the drain. (Or maybe a bucket if your drain hasn’t been opened up.) If it’s copper, a sharkbite cap, while expensive, would work (and be removable later). – Aloysius Defenestrate Apr 22 ’16 at 2:08
Why does no water come out of the Shrader valve?
No pressure indicated at Shrader valve. After hooking an electric tire inflation compressor to the tank, I can’t get the tank to pump up. No water comes out of the valve, and after shutting faucets and turning power back on, pressure on gauge shows 30 plus pounds kick on and just short of 50 pounds off.

What to do if shut off valve does not turn?
What do I do to fix this valve (replacement would be a pain since it’s in a tight spot). Get a pipe cap. This is normal with shut-off valves that are not exercised for many years. You only really need it to slow down flow enough to change and tighten the connecting piping. Sometimes that’s all you can hope for.
