Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size thread does this tap have?

The tap features a 15mm internal thread, designed for a universal fit on compatible water dispenser bottles and coolers.

Can I use this tap for both hot and cold water?

Yes, the kit includes both a blue lever (typically for cold) and a red lever (typically for hot), making it suitable for dispensers that handle both temperatures.

How do I install the tap?

Installation is simple: unscrew the old tap, screw the new tap firmly into the bottle's threaded opening by hand, and attach the desired lever.

What should I do if the tap leaks?

Check that the tap is securely tightened and that the bottle's opening has a good seal. A food-grade sealant or washer may be needed if the bottle's original seal is compromised.

Is this tap suitable for all water dispensers?

It is designed as a universal replacement with a 15mm internal thread, fitting most standard dispensers. However, compatibility depends on the specific thread size of your dispenser bottle.

How do I clean the tap?

Clean with a damp cloth, or unscrew the tap and wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and ensure it's dry before reattaching.

What material is the tap made of?

The product description does not specify the exact materials, but it is designed for water dispensing and typically made from food-grade plastics.

Troubleshooting

Tap leaks after installation

Ensure the tap is screwed on tightly (but not over-tightened) to the bottle's thread. Check if there is a missing or damaged gasket/seal on the bottle's opening. If necessary, use a food-grade sealant or a suitable washer to create a better seal.

Lever is stiff or doesn't operate smoothly

Remove the tap and clean the lever mechanism and the area where it moves. Check for any obstructions or debris. Apply a small amount of food-grade lubricant if the mechanism remains stiff.

Water flow is weak or dribbles

Ensure the internal channel of the tap is not blocked by sediment or debris. Unscrew the tap and flush it with water. Also, check that the bottle is adequately filled and that there are no airlocks.

Tap does not fit the bottle opening

Verify that the bottle opening has a 15mm internal thread. This tap is specifically designed for that thread size. If your bottle has a different thread size or type, this tap will not be compatible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a universal fit for many water dispensers.
  • Includes color-coded levers for hot and cold water identification.
  • Easy to install with a simple threaded connection.
  • Durable design suitable for frequent use.
  • Cost-effective replacement for a damaged tap.

Cons

  • Requires confirmation of 15mm internal thread compatibility.
  • May not fit highly specialized or non-standard dispenser models.
  • Levers are plastic and may be prone to wear over extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water dispenser bottle or container is empty and clean.
  2. Carefully unscrew the old tap spigot from the bottle's opening.
  3. Take the new SPARES2GO tap spigot kit. Identify the correct lever (blue for cold, red for hot, if applicable) and attach it to the spigot mechanism.
  4. Screw the new tap spigot assembly firmly into the bottle's threaded opening. Hand-tighten to ensure a secure fit. Avoid over-tightening, which could damage the threads.
  5. Test the lever to ensure smooth operation and check for any immediate leaks.

Compatibility:

  • This tap is designed with a 15mm internal thread. It is compatible with water dispenser bottles and coolers that feature a corresponding threaded opening of this size. Always measure or verify your existing fitting before purchase if unsure.
  • It is suitable for both hot and cold water applications, provided the dispenser bottle and water source are designed for the intended temperature.

Care:

  • Periodically clean the tap spout and lever with a soft, damp cloth.
  • For deeper cleaning, unscrew the tap and wash the spigot in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before reattaching.
  • Inspect the thread for any debris before reattaching to ensure a good seal.
  • Check the lever mechanism for stiffness or obstruction and clean if necessary.
