How to use

To install the tap, ensure the main water supply is turned off before removing any existing fittings. Apply appropriate plumbing tape or sealant to the threads of the 1/2 inch inlet to ensure a watertight connection. Screw the tap firmly into the wall outlet using a suitable wrench, taking care not to overtighten. Once installed, connect the appliance hose to the 3/4 inch outlet, ensuring the rubber gasket is correctly seated to prevent leaks. Gradually turn on the water supply and check all connection points for any signs of moisture.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size of your existing wall water outlet
• Ensure the appliance hose is compatible with a 3/4 inch connection
• Check for sufficient clearance in the installation area
• Confirm that the water pressure in your home is within standard residential limits

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection points for any signs of wear or mineral buildup. If the tap becomes difficult to operate, ensure the internal mechanism is free from debris and consider a light application of plumbing-grade lubricant if necessary. Always turn off the water supply when the appliance will be unused for extended periods.
