FAQs

What size garden hose is compatible with the brass hose connector?

The included brass hose connector is designed for standard 1/2" internal diameter garden hoses. You may need an adapter for hoses of different sizes.

What is the thread size of the outdoor tap?

The outdoor tap features a standard 3/4" BSP male thread for connection to water supply outlets.

Is this tap kit suitable for high water pressure?

The heavy-duty brass construction is designed to handle standard water pressure changes and frequent use, offering reliable performance.

How do I clean the brass tap and connectors?

Clean the brass components using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, as they can scratch the surface.

Can I leave this tap connected through winter?

It is recommended to disconnect the hose and drain the tap in freezing conditions to prevent damage from ice expansion. Ensure the main water supply to the tap is also turned off.

Does the kit include thread tape for installation?

Thread tape is not typically included. It is recommended to use plumber's tape or thread sealant on the 3/4" BSP connection for a secure, leak-free installation.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the handle when turned on.

The packing nut behind the handle may need tightening. Carefully tighten the nut with a wrench. If the leak persists, the internal valve seat may be worn and require replacement or professional service.

Hose connector is difficult to attach or detach.

Ensure the hose is a standard 1/2" diameter and is not kinked. Check the quick-connect mechanism for debris and clean if necessary. Lubricating the O-rings slightly with silicone grease can help.

Water flow is low or intermittent.

Check if the tap is fully opened. Ensure the hose is not kinked or blocked. Clean any debris from the tap connector and hose connector.

Tap does not turn on/off smoothly.

The internal valve mechanism might be stiff. Attempt to operate the handle back and forth several times. If it remains stiff, a lubricant suitable for plumbing might be applied, or the valve may require servicing.
