FAQs

What is the inlet size of this bibtap?

This model features a standard 1/2-inch inlet connection.

Can this tap be used for drinking water?

It is designed primarily for outdoor garden irrigation and general use, not specifically certified for potable drinking water systems.

What standard does this tap meet?

It is manufactured in compliance with the EN1213 standard.

Is the tap frost-proof?

While it is corrosion-resistant, it is not specifically rated as frost-proof; we recommend protecting it from freezing temperatures in winter.

Does it come with a hose adapter?

The bibtap features an integrated hose union, which acts as the adapter for standard garden hose attachments.

How often should I service the tap?

There is no set schedule, but an annual inspection before the start of the irrigation season is recommended to ensure no leaks or stiffness have developed.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking from the thread connection

Shut off water, remove the tap, apply fresh PTFE tape to the pipe threads, and reinstall firmly.

Stiff operation of the handle

Check for sediment build-up and apply a small amount of silicone-based plumber's grease to the valve stem if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust build quality for long-lasting performance
  • Resistant to outdoor weather conditions and corrosion
  • Standardized 1/2-inch sizing ensures wide compatibility
  • Simple and intuitive installation process

Cons

  • Requires plumbing experience for secure installation
  • Limited to 1/2-inch connections only
  • Manual operation only; no automatic shut-off features

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic plumbing tools and PTFE tape for sealing. Ensure the water supply is shut off before removing any existing fittings. The 1/2" connection is standard, but always verify your existing wall-mounted pipe sizing before purchase. To maintain the tap, it is recommended to periodically check the hose connection for debris and ensure the handle operates smoothly. During winter months in colder climates, it is advised to drain the system or insulate the tap to prevent potential freezing and internal damage.
