Troubleshooting
Tap is leaking from the handle
The packing nut beneath the handle may need tightening. Turn off water supply, then gently tighten the nut with a wrench. If leaking persists, the internal washer may need replacement.
No water flow or low pressure
Ensure the main water supply is fully on. Check that no part of the connected hose or tubing is kinked or blocked. Inspect the tap's internal mechanism for debris if possible.
Hose won't connect to quick-connect fitting
Ensure the hose connector is a standard size and free of debris. The quick-connect fitting may be damaged and require replacement.
Barbed fitting is loose
Ensure the irrigation tubing is fully seated onto the barb. You may need a clamp to secure the tubing for a tighter fit.
Difficulty screwing tap onto pipe
Verify you are using the correct thread size and that the pipe threads are clean. Ensure the thread converter is properly aligned if in use.
