The Cost Wise Garden Tap Kit is an ideal solution for homeowners and gardeners looking to install a reliable outdoor water source in a garden, greenhouse, or utility area. This kit excels by providing a high-quality brass backplate and essential PTFE tape, ensuring a secure and leak-free installation for 15mm copper piping. While it offers excellent durability and straightforward operation, users should note that the kit requires basic plumbing knowledge and the appropriate tools to properly secure the backplate and connect the pipework.

This kit is specifically designed for 15mm copper pipe. Using it with plastic piping may require additional adaptors not provided in the kit.
No, the kit does not include wall mounting screws or wall plugs, as the best type depends on your specific wall material (brick, wood, or stone).
Yes, the tap features a standard outlet thread that accommodates most common garden hose connectors and quick-release adapters.
While the brass construction is durable, metal can expand and crack if water freezes inside. Always drain the tap before the first frost.
The PTFE tape is used to fill the tiny gaps between threaded fittings, creating a reliable, leak-resistant seal.
Unscrew the fitting, ensure the threads are clean, apply additional layers of PTFE tape, and retighten securely.
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the lever hinge to restore smooth movement.
To install, ensure your 15mm copper pipe is clean and free of debris at the connection point. Use the provided PTFE tape by wrapping it clockwise around the threaded sections to guarantee a watertight seal. The brass backplate should be mounted securely to a flat surface using appropriate masonry screws and plugs (not included). Periodically check the connection points for any signs of weeping or moisture. During winter months, it is recommended to drain the pipework and insulate the tap to prevent potential freezing and damage to the internal mechanism.
