FAQs

What material is the bib tap made from?

The bib tap is constructed from solid brass, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion.

What are the two types of outlets on this tap?

It features a standard quick-connect fitting for garden hoses and a barbed fitting for irrigation tubing.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

The kit includes the brass bib tap, barbed fitting, quick-connect fitting, PTFE tape, and a ½” to ¾” BSP thread converter. Basic plumbing tools may be required.

Can I use this tap with different pipe sizes?

Yes, the included thread converter allows it to adapt to both ½” and ¾” BSP inlet sizes.

Is this tap suitable for use in freezing conditions?

While brass is durable, in areas with freezing temperatures, it's recommended to turn off the water supply and drain the tap to prevent internal damage.

How do I connect an irrigation tube?

Push the end of your irrigation tubing firmly onto the barbed fitting. For a more secure connection, especially under pressure, use a hose clamp.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for specific warranty information.

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.
