FAQs

Is this kit suitable for internal plumbing?

Yes, the brass components are suitable for both indoor and outdoor residential use.

Do I need special tools to install this?

You will need a pipe cutter, a pipe wrench or spanner, and a drill with masonry bits for the wall mounting.

Can I connect a 1/2 inch hose to this tap?

This tap features a 3/4 inch hose barb, so a 3/4 inch internal diameter hose is recommended for a secure fit.

Is the brass prone to tarnish?

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.

Does this kit include wall screws?

No, wall fixings and screws are not included as the required hardware depends on the type of wall material (brick, wood, or concrete).

Troubleshooting

Slow drip from the compression joint

Tighten the compression nut slightly with a wrench. If it persists, inspect the olive for damage or ensure the pipe was inserted straight.

Water leaking from the bib tap thread

Remove the tap, apply several layers of fresh PTFE tape to the threads, and reinstall carefully.

Hose slipping off the barb

Ensure the hose is pushed fully over the barb and use a stainless steel hose clamp for additional security.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade brass resists rust and corrosion
  • Secure compression fitting for 22mm pipe
  • Designed for long-term outdoor stability
  • Universal 3/4 inch hose barb compatibility

Cons

  • PTFE thread sealing tape must be bought separately
  • Requires specific tools for compression fitting assembly
  • Not suitable for non-copper piping materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
