The Cost Wise Garden Tap+ is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable, rust-proof alternative to traditional metal garden taps. Its primary benefit is the ultra-tough nylon construction, which eliminates the common issues of corrosion and cracking found in metallic counterparts, though users should be aware that it requires a 15mm copper pipe connection for installation.

Yes, it is designed to work with all standard garden hose fittings.
Yes, the 3-hole backplate allows for secure mounting on wood, provided you use appropriate screws.
The material is designed for outdoor durability, though some minor fading may occur over many years of extreme UV exposure.
Nylon is generally more forgiving than metal in cold weather, but it is always recommended to turn off the water supply and drain the tap during deep winter freezes.
The product includes the plumber's thread tape, but you should source mounting screws appropriate for your specific wall material.
Ensure that enough plumber's thread tape was applied to the threads and check that the connection is tightened securely.
Ensure the tap has not been overtightened during installation; loosen the mounting screws slightly if the housing is putting pressure on the valve.
To install the tap, ensure your existing water supply line is a 15mm copper pipe. Begin by applying the provided plumber's thread tape to the threaded connections to ensure a watertight seal. Use the 3-hole backplate to mark your mounting points on your chosen wall or post, ensuring it is level before drilling. Use appropriate wall plugs or screws based on the surface material. To maintain the tap, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth if dirt accumulates. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals, as these can dull the matte black finish over time.
