The LavaTap Outdoor Bibtap is designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking a durable, compliant external water supply solution. Its key benefit is the integrated double check valve, which ensures robust protection against backflow and water contamination. While it is built for longevity with high-quality brass, users should note that the package includes the tap body only, meaning a wall backplate and hose connectors must be purchased separately to complete the installation.

The LavaTap is WRAS approved, indicating it meets the requirements for use with the public water supply, but always check local regulations regarding the specific use of external taps.
No, this product is for the tap unit only.
It uses a standard 1/2 inch BSP thread.
In winter, keep the tap insulated or drain the external supply line if possible to prevent frost damage.
Yes, it is designed for universal compatibility with standard hose connectors.
The double check valve prevents water from the garden hose from flowing back into your clean domestic water system.
Unscrew the tap, re-apply a fresh layer of PTFE tape to the threads, and tighten firmly.
Inspect the internal double check valve for debris or blockages, and ensure the main supply valve to the outdoor line is fully open.
Ensure you are using a standard garden hose connector and check that the tap outlet threads are free of grit or debris.
Installation is straightforward due to the universal 1/2 inch BSP threading. To install, ensure your existing wall plate is clean, apply sufficient PTFE tape to the male threads of the LavaTap, and tighten securely with a wrench, taking care not to overtighten and strip the thread. The tap is compatible with standard quick-connect garden hose fittings found at most hardware stores. To care for your tap, wipe it down occasionally to remove mineral deposits and check the threaded connection for any signs of leaking at the start of each spring season.
