What size is the inlet and outlet thread?

Does it come with a hose connector?

Can this tap be used for high-pressure water systems?

No, this tap is designed for low to moderate pressure applications like irrigation and is not recommended for high-pressure mains water systems.

Is this tap suitable for outdoor winter use?

It is recommended to drain the tap and disconnect it before freezing temperatures to prevent damage from ice expansion.

How do I clean the tap?

Wipe the tap with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic.

What is the quantity per pack?

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the handle.

Ensure the valve is fully closed. If the leak persists, the internal washer may need replacement (contact manufacturer for parts).

Water flow is weak.

Check that the tap is fully open and that there are no blockages in the connected hose or irrigation lines. Verify water pressure from the source.

Tap is difficult to turn.

Ensure the tap is properly installed and not cross-threaded. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the handle mechanism if needed, avoiding petroleum-based lubricants which can degrade plastic.

Connection leaking at the inlet/outlet.

Ensure the connection is securely tightened. If using pipe threads, check for proper thread sealant or tape. Ensure the hose adapter is correctly fitted.
