Product Information

Full details

The Grass Warehouse Outdoor Garden Tap Kit is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to add an external water source to their property without the complexity of traditional plumbing work. Its primary benefit is the inclusion of a self-cutting indoor tap that allows for a swift, non-invasive installation on existing pipework, though users should ensure they are comfortable working with domestic water lines before beginning.

FAQs

Do I need to turn off the water supply to install this?

While the kit is designed to be quick, it is always best practice to isolate the water supply locally if possible to avoid accidental spray during installation.

Can I use this with a standard garden hose?

Yes, the kit includes connectors that are compatible with standard garden hose systems.

Is the brass rust-proof?

The kit is manufactured from heavy-duty brass, which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor use.

What is the purpose of the double check valve?

The valve prevents dirty water or chemicals from being siphoned back into your home's main drinking water supply.

Can this be installed on any pipe material?

The kit is intended for standard domestic pipework; ensure your existing pipe diameter is compatible with the self-cutting tap before starting.

Troubleshooting

Minor leaks at connection points

Ensure PTFE tape is applied correctly to the threads and that all fittings are tightened securely with a wrench.

Low water pressure from the new tap

Check that the self-cutting tap has fully penetrated the pipe and that no debris is obstructing the flow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive kit includes every necessary fitting
  • Self-cutting design saves time and professional plumbing costs
  • Heavy-duty brass build ensures longevity
  • Includes essential safety features like backflow prevention

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires selecting an appropriate location on your internal pipework. Ensure the pipe is clean before attaching the self-cutting tap to maintain a watertight seal. Use the provided PTFE thread seal tape on all threaded connections to prevent minor drips. For care, keep the threads clear of grit, and in freezing climates, ensure the outdoor tap is protected or drained to prevent ice-related damage to the brass housing.
