Yes, the brass components are suitable for both indoor and outdoor residential use.
You will need a pipe cutter, a pipe wrench or spanner, and a drill with masonry bits for the wall mounting.
This tap features a 3/4 inch hose barb, so a 3/4 inch internal diameter hose is recommended for a secure fit.
Like all brass, it may develop a patina over time when exposed to the elements, but it will not rust or compromise the structural integrity.
No, wall fixings and screws are not included as the required hardware depends on the type of wall material (brick, wood, or concrete).
Tighten the compression nut slightly with a wrench. If it persists, inspect the olive for damage or ensure the pipe was inserted straight.
Remove the tap, apply several layers of fresh PTFE tape to the threads, and reinstall carefully.
Ensure the hose is pushed fully over the barb and use a stainless steel hose clamp for additional security.
To install this kit, ensure you have a pipe cutter, a wrench, and PTFE tape (purchased separately). First, secure the wall mount plate to your mounting surface. Ensure the 22mm copper pipe is clean and free of burrs before inserting it into the compression fitting. Tighten the nut firmly, ensuring the olive is compressed against the pipe. Wrap the bib tap threads with PTFE tape before screwing it into the wall flange to prevent leaks. Periodically check the compression nut tightness, especially after temperature fluctuations that cause copper to expand or contract. Avoid using abrasive cleaning chemicals on the brass surface; a damp cloth is sufficient for maintenance.
