Outside Tap with Garden Hose Pipe Connector, Water Butt Tap, 1/2" BSP Inlet - Vintage Polished Brass, Poppet Valve, Bib Tap, Outdoor Tap Connector, Barbed Hose Tail Included, Built to Last

This is a great looking tap. I actually bought this for someone else so not sure if it will be as good as it looks.

The first thing i noticed about this tap is the finish is duller than the image in the photo on this site with imperfections to the metal, its like it wasn't finished off properly.The second thing is although the nozzle is pointing downwards towards the drain the water comes out at a 45 degree angle meaning it over shoots the drain which is annoying as it gets your feet..I couldn't get the tap to line up straight it would tighten at an angle no matter where i started the thread so i filled the thread with plumbers tape so the tap tightened sooner it doesn't look pretty but it worked after trial and error.Painting the pipework tidied it all up.

Tap exactly what I expected. Fitted OK after using PTFE tape to align it correctly. Let's see how long it lasts ...

Looks great and good quality

Not as highly polished as shown in the illustration and the hose connector is made of plastic! This is not mentioned in the description.

I love it

Nice polished finish and light easy control over water flow. Unexpectedly perhaps rather light in weight and smaller than other outside taps that I have seen but hopefully will stand the test of time. The detachable hose connection is made of thin plastic and may not however!

Robust
