HydroSure Frost Proof Bib Tap - 3/4"

It means the tap is designed to prevent damage from freezing. Typically, this is achieved by ensuring the main valve and washer are located within the building's insulated space and that any water in the tap's external body drains away when the tap is turned off.

Ensure the tap is installed so the water supply pipe and valve stem extend into a heated area. Always turn the tap off completely after use to allow it to drain.

The tap has a 3/4" BSP male thread, which is a standard size for many garden hoses and irrigation fittings.

This tap is designed for cold water outdoor irrigation systems. It is not intended for use with hot water supplies.

The tap is constructed from durable brass.

While functional, this tap is specifically designed for outdoor environments and its frost-proof capabilities are most relevant in those settings. Ensure it is connected to a suitable water supply.

Ensure the tap is fully drained by opening and closing it. If the issue persists, there may be debris inside; consider flushing the line or consulting a plumber.

The tap may not be fully draining, or the internal valve seat may be worn. Ensure it is completely closed. If leakage continues, the tap may need replacement.

Verify that the tap is installed correctly with the valve seat inside the heated structure and that the tap body fully drains when closed. Check that the incoming pipework is not exposed to freezing temperatures.

Ensure the hose connector is compatible with 3/4" BSP fittings and that the rubber washer inside the hose connector is present and in good condition. Tighten the connection securely.
