FAQs

Do I need a plumber to install this kit?

No, this kit is designed for easy DIY installation by homeowners with basic tools and plumbing knowledge. All necessary components are included.

What size pipe does this kit connect to?

The kit is designed to connect to standard UK 15mm copper plumbing pipes.

What is the purpose of the isolating tee valve?

The isolating tee valve allows you to shut off the water supply specifically to the outdoor tap without affecting your home's main water supply, which is useful for maintenance or during winter.

Can I use this tap with any garden hose?

Yes, the kit includes a standard ¾” tap connector, making it compatible with most common garden hoses and hose accessories.

Is the brass used in the kit rust-resistant?

Yes, the kit components are made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant solid brass, ensuring durability for outdoor use.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes a brass garden bib tap, 350mm wall plate pipe, 15mm brass isolating tee valve, 500mm flexi hose, ¾” tap connector, PTFE thread seal tape, wall plugs, and fixing screws.

How should I prepare for installation?

Ensure you have basic tools like a pipe cutter, wrench, and screwdriver. It's recommended to shut off the main water supply before beginning the installation process.

Troubleshooting

No water flow from the tap

Ensure the main water supply is on, the isolating tee valve is fully open, and the tap itself is turned on. Check that the flexi hose is not kinked or blocked.

Leaking from threaded connections

Turn off the water supply. Carefully unscrew the leaking joint, clean the threads, and reapply PTFE thread seal tape. Tighten securely but do not overtighten.

Low water pressure

Check for blockages in the garden hose or connected appliance. Ensure the isolating tee valve and tap are fully open. Verify that no other taps in the house are running simultaneously.

Difficulty fitting components

Ensure you are using the correct component for the connection (e.g., ½” vs ¾” BSP threads). Make sure threads are clean and free from debris. Do not force connections.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • All-in-one kit reduces the need to source individual parts.
  • High-quality brass components offer excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Designed for straightforward DIY installation, saving on plumber costs.
  • Provides a secure and leak-free connection suitable for various outdoor uses.
  • Compatible with standard UK 15mm copper plumbing systems.

Cons

  • Requires basic DIY skills and tools for installation.
  • Only compatible with 15mm copper pipe systems.
  • PTFE tape might need careful application to ensure a perfect seal.
  • The flexi hose length (500mm) might be restrictive for some specific placement needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Begin by isolating the main water supply. Cut into the existing 15mm copper pipe and fit the 15mm brass isolating tee valve. Attach the 350mm wall plate pipe through the external wall, securing it to the tee valve. Connect the brass garden bib tap to the external end of the wall plate pipe using PTFE tape for a watertight seal. Connect the 500mm flexi hose to the ¾” BSP male outlet on the tee valve and the ¾” tap connector to the garden bib tap. Use the provided wall plugs and screws to secure the wall plate. Once assembled, slowly turn the main water supply back on and check all connections for leaks.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for use with UK standard 15mm copper plumbing systems. It is compatible with standard garden hoses, jet washers, sprayers, watering systems, and can be used for filling hot tubs or paddling pools. Ensure the intended appliance or hose has a compatible connection (typically ¾” BSP).

Care: Periodically inspect all connections for any signs of wear or leakage. Clean the brass tap exterior with a soft, damp cloth. In freezing conditions, it is advisable to drain the tap and hose to prevent ice damage, although the isolating valve can help mitigate risks.
