How to use

To install the tap, ensure the main water supply is turned off. Apply appropriate thread sealant or plumbing tape to the male threads to ensure a watertight seal. Screw the tap onto the existing wall outlet and tighten it securely using a wrench, taking care not to overtighten. Once installed, connect your appliance hose to the outlet side of the tap. Slowly turn on the main water supply and check for any signs of leakage before fully opening the valve to allow water to flow to your appliance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size of your existing wall outlet
• Ensure the hose connection on your appliance is compatible with a 1/2 inch male thread
• Check for sufficient clearance space behind the appliance
• Confirm that your plumbing system pressure is within standard residential limits

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for any signs of moisture or mineral buildup. If the tap becomes difficult to turn, avoid using excessive force and consider a light application of a plumbing-safe lubricant or a professional inspection to prevent potential damage to the valve mechanism.
