FAQs

What material is the tap made from?

The tap is made from high-quality solid brass, offering excellent durability and corrosion resistance.

Is this tap suitable for drinking water?

This tap is designed for outdoor use such as garden watering and is not typically rated or intended for potable (drinking) water.

What size pipe does it connect to?

The tap is designed to fit standard 15mm copper pipe.

What is the benefit of the click-lock connector?

The universal click-lock connector allows for quick and effortless attachment and detachment of any compatible hose or sprinkler, saving time and effort.

Does it come with everything needed for installation?

The tap includes a brass compression wall back plate and PTFE tape for sealing. However, you will need appropriate 15mm copper pipe and fittings for the connection to your existing water supply.

Can I leave this tap outside in winter?

While the brass is durable, it is recommended to turn off the water supply and drain the tap before freezing temperatures arrive to prevent potential damage from ice expansion.

How do I clean the brass tap?

You can clean the tap with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners which could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the handle when turned on.

Tighten the packing nut located behind the handle. If the leak persists, the internal washer may need replacing.

Hose connector is difficult to attach or detach.

Ensure the hose end is clean and free of debris. Check for any obstructions within the tap's click-lock mechanism. Lubricating the O-ring on the hose end may help.

Water flow is weak or inconsistent.

Check that the main water supply is fully open. Inspect the hose for kinks or blockages. If using a sprinkler, ensure it is clean and functioning correctly.

Tap does not shut off completely, causing a drip.

The internal valve seat or washer may be worn. This might require replacement of the internal valve mechanism or washer.
