FAQs
Does this kit fit a standard UK garden tap connection?
Yes, the kit includes a 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch BSP adapter which covers the vast majority of standard residential outdoor taps.
Do I need extra tools for installation?
You will need a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench to securely fasten the tap and adapter, but the kit provides the necessary fittings and tape.
Can I use both outlets at the same time?
Yes, the two outlets are independently controlled, allowing you to run two different watering systems simultaneously.
Is the tap frost-proof?
While the materials are durable for outdoor use, you should protect the tap during extreme freezing conditions to prevent cracking.
What is the purpose of the included PTFE tape?
The tape acts as a sealant for the threaded joints, preventing water from leaking out of the connection points.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the connection point
Ensure that the PTFE tape was applied correctly to the threads and that the connection is tightened securely.
Difficulty turning the levers
Check if there is debris caught in the valve mechanism; rinse with water and ensure the unit is not cross-threaded.
Water pressure is weak on one side
Verify that the valve is fully open and check the hose or accessory attached to that outlet for kinks or blockages.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure the main water supply is completely turned off before removing your existing tap.
Clean the threads of your existing outdoor pipe to ensure a smooth connection.
Apply the provided PTFE tape generously around the pipe threads to create a watertight seal.
Screw on the thread adapter (1/2 or 3/4 inch as required) and tighten securely using a wrench, taking care not to over-tighten and strip the threads.
Attach the double tap to the adapter and test for leaks by slowly turning the water back on.
For care, keep the threads clear of debris and consider winterizing the tap by turning it off and draining it if you live in a region that experiences freezing temperatures.
