Product Information
Full details
The Comet Novo Super Tap is a specialized plumbing solution designed for mobile environments like caravans, motorhomes, and boats. It is perfect for users who need a reliable, integrated water control system with a built-in electrical microswitch for automatic pump activation. While it is highly efficient and durable, users should note that it is restricted to low-voltage 12V DC systems and has a maximum temperature threshold of 58 degrees Celsius, making it unsuitable for high-heat applications.

FAQs
Can I use this tap with a 24V system?
No, this tap is specifically designed for 12V DC systems. Using it with 24V may damage the microswitch.
What is the maximum hose size I can use?
The tap is designed for hoses with a 10 mm inner diameter.
Is the finish resistant to cleaning agents?
It is durable, but you should avoid harsh chemical cleaners and use only mild soap and water to protect the finish.
Can this be used for boiling water?
No, the maximum temperature threshold is 58 degrees Celsius. Exceeding this will damage the internal components.
Does this tap come with a pump?
No, the tap includes the switch to control a pump, but the pump unit must be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Water pump does not activate when tap is turned
Check the wiring connections to the microswitch and ensure your 12V fuse has not blown.
Leaking at the base of the tap
Tighten the mounting nut from underneath or check if the O-ring seal is properly seated.
Low water flow
Check the 10 mm hose for kinks or blockages and ensure the pump is receiving full 12V power.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Integrated pump switch removes the need for extra manual switches
- Lightweight design perfect for weight-sensitive mobile installations
- Easy to install on various surface thicknesses up to 20mm
- Efficient 12V operation keeps power consumption low
Cons
- Not compatible with high-temperature water systems above 58°C
- Requires a 12V power source specifically
- Limited to 10mm inner diameter hose connections
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the tap, ensure you have a cutout ready for the mounting base, keeping in mind the 20 mm thickness limit. Connect your 10 mm hose to the tailpiece, securing it with a small hose clamp to prevent leaks. The electrical wires must be connected to your pump’s power loop, acting as an interrupt switch.
Maintenance Tips:
- Regularly inspect the hose connections for signs of wear or calcification.
- Clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive chemicals that might damage the black finish.
- During winterization, ensure all water is drained from the tap to prevent ice damage to the internal switch mechanism.
