Yes, the product comes with both red and blue levers so you can label the tap according to the supply line.
Yes, it is designed for a standard 15mm compression installation and includes the necessary compression components.
It is generally compatible with plastic piping, but you must use a standard brass or plastic pipe insert to ensure the compression joint remains rigid.
The 3/4 inch measurement refers to the standard thread size used for the connection of washing machine and dishwasher fill hoses.
This tap is designed for indoor use in utility rooms or kitchens. It is not frost-protected and should not be used in exposed outdoor locations.
Ensure the pipe is cut square and properly seated. Tighten the nut an additional quarter turn, but do not overtighten.
Check for mineral buildup around the valve stem. Gently cycle the handle several times to loosen internal seals.
To install this tap, ensure your 15mm supply pipe is cut square and deburred to prevent damage to the compression olive. Slide the nut and olive onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the tap body, and tighten the nut with a spanner until firm. Avoid over-tightening, as this can deform the olive and cause leaks.
Compatibility: This tap fits standard 15mm plumbing and 3/4 inch appliance hoses.
Care: Clean the chrome finish only with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or acidic chemicals, which can strip the plating and lead to premature oxidation.
