Product Information

Full details

The SolaDirect Double Outlet Garden Tap is designed for homeowners and gardeners who need to manage multiple water sources from a single connection. Crafted from high-quality nickel-plated brass, it offers exceptional durability for long-term outdoor use, allowing you to run an irrigation system or water timer alongside a standard hose pipe. While its dual-outlet design provides unmatched convenience, users should note that both outlets require a standard 1/2 inch BSP threaded connection to function effectively in their outdoor plumbing setup.

FAQs

Does this tap fit all garden hoses?

It includes one standard snap-on connector compatible with most major hose brands; however, some proprietary systems may require an additional adapter.

Can I use both outlets at the same time?

Yes, the tap is specifically designed to allow independent operation of both outlets simultaneously.

What is the thread size of the main connection?

The main inlet connection is a standard 1/2 inch BSP thread.

Is the tap frost-proof?

While the brass is durable, it is not immune to freezing. We recommend draining the tap during sub-zero temperatures to prevent damage.

Is this tap suitable for drinking water?

This tap is intended for garden and outdoor use only and is not certified for potable (drinking) water systems.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking from the threaded connection point.

Unscrew the tap, re-apply a generous amount of PTFE tape to the threads, and tighten firmly using a suitable wrench.

Lever handle feels stiff or difficult to turn.

Apply a small amount of food-grade silicone grease to the internal mechanism and cycle the handle several times to distribute the lubricant.

Low water pressure from one of the outlets.

Check the internal flow path for debris or limescale build-up and ensure the snap-on connector is fully seated and not damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the SolaDirect Double Outlet Garden Tap, ensure your main supply line is turned off and the old tap is removed. Clean the threads on your wall pipe and apply high-quality PTFE plumbing tape before screwing the new tap firmly into place. The 1/2 inch BSP thread is compatible with most UK and international standard outdoor wall pipes. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads that might scratch the nickel finish. During winter, ensure you drain the tap fully if you live in an area prone to freezing temperatures to prevent internal brass stress or cracking.
