LavaTap Outside Tap - Bronze

Yes, the LavaTap Outside Tap is WRAS approved, meaning it meets the stringent standards for use with potable (drinkable) water systems.

The double check valve prevents water from flowing backward from the tap into your main water supply, safeguarding against potential contamination.

The tap has a standard garden hose thread, compatible with most push-fit hose connectors like Hozelock, or you can use the included nut and tail for clamp-on hoses.

The tap is constructed from high-quality brass, ensuring durability and resistance to outdoor elements.

Basic plumbing tools such as a wrench and PTFE tape are typically required for installation. Basic knowledge of plumbing is recommended.

Regular cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain the finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.

The tap features a standard 1/2" thread for connecting to the water pipework.

The packing nut on the spindle may need tightening. Turn off the water supply, tighten the nut slightly with a wrench, and test again.

Ensure the valve is being fully opened and closed. If it feels stiff, it may require lubrication or replacement.

The internal washer may be worn. Turn off the water supply, remove the handle and spindle, and replace the washer.

Ensure PTFE tape has been applied correctly to the threads before installation. Turn off water, remove tap, reapply tape, and reinstall.
