FAQs
What material is the HydroSure Lever Style Hose Union Bibtap made from?
The bibtap is precision-engineered from high-tensile steel for durability and long-lasting performance.
What are the inlet and outlet thread sizes?
The inlet size is a 1/2" Male thread, and the outlet size is a 3/4" Male Thread.
What is the maximum water pressure this tap can handle?
This tap is rated for a maximum pressure of 16 Bar.
Can this tap be used indoors?
While functional indoors, its design is optimized for outdoor use. Ensure it is connected to a suitable water supply and drainage if used in an indoor environment.
How do I connect a garden hose to this tap?
The tap has a 3/4" male thread outlet, which is the standard size for most garden hoses. Simply screw the hose fitting onto the tap outlet.
Does the steel construction require special maintenance?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically check connections for tightness.
Troubleshooting
Tap is leaking from the handle.
Ensure the valve stem packing nut (if applicable and accessible) is slightly tightened. If the issue persists, the internal valve seal may be worn and require replacement of the tap.
Low water flow from the tap.
Check that the water supply is fully turned on. Inspect the 3/4" outlet for any debris or obstructions. Ensure the inlet connection is not partially blocked.
Tap won't turn on or off smoothly.
Operate the lever back and forth several times. If stiffness persists, there may be debris within the valve mechanism. For persistent issues, professional servicing might be required.
Water leaking from the inlet connection.
Turn off the water supply. Unscrew the tap and reapply PTFE tape to the male threads on the pipe before re-screwing the tap firmly.
