Do I need a plumber to install this tap?

Can I connect my standard garden hose to this tap?

Yes, the tap includes a 3/4 inch adaptor specifically for connecting standard quick-release garden hose fittings.

What material is the tap made of?

The tap is manufactured from solid brass for maximum strength, durability, and rust prevention.

Where can I mount this tap?

You can mount it on wooden posts, concrete brick walls, sheds, fences, or any other convenient and sturdy surface.

Does it come with everything needed for installation?

The tap set includes the brass tap, a 3/4in tap adaptor, 4 screws with rawl plugs, and 4 nuts and bolts for mounting. Additional fixings may be required depending on your specific mounting surface.

How can I prevent the tap from freezing in winter?

To prevent freezing, ensure the tap is fully turned off and that any connected hose is disconnected. Allow any water remaining in the tap body to drain out completely.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the handle when turned on.

Try tightening the packing nut located just behind the handle. If the leak persists, the internal washer may need replacement.

Water flow is weak or intermittent.

Check that the main water supply is fully open. Ensure the hose connection is secure and that there are no kinks in the hose. Clean any debris from the tap outlet and adaptor.

Tap won't turn on or off smoothly.

The internal valve mechanism may have accumulated debris. Try operating the tap back and forth several times to dislodge any obstructions. If resistance remains, professional inspection might be needed.

Fixings are not suitable for the mounting surface.

The supplied fixings are general purpose. You may need to purchase specific fixings (e.g., longer bolts, different rawl plugs) appropriate for your particular mounting surface for a secure installation.
