What is included in a Garden Tap Kit?
A professional-grade Garden Tap Kit from ECO HEAT SHOP provides everything you need to install a functional external water point. The kit typically features a heavy-duty 1/2″ brass hose union bib tap, a wall-plate elbow with a copper tail, and a self-cutting valve. We also provide the essential “small parts” that often get forgotten, such as UV-resistant wall plugs, stainless steel screws, and a roll of PTFE thread seal tape.
Why is a Double Check Valve Important?
According to UK Water Regulations, any permanent outside tap must have a double check valve installed. This safety feature ensures that water from your garden hose (which may contain fertilizers or garden chemicals) cannot “back-siphon” into your home’s clean drinking water supply. Our kit includes this protection as standard, giving you peace of mind and full legal compliance.
Effortless DIY Installation
One of the main barriers to adding an outdoor tap is the fear of cutting into copper pipes. Our kit utilizes a self-cutting tap mechanism. This allows you to clamp the valve onto an internal 15mm pipe and simply turn the handle to pierce the copper, creating a watertight seal instantly. It is the ideal solution for homeowners looking to improve their garden’s functionality for:
-
Connecting garden hoses and irrigation systems.
-
Filling watering cans and pressure washers.
-
Washing cars, patios, and outdoor furniture.
Built to Last in UK Weather
Every component in this kit is chosen for its durability. The primary tap is constructed from solid forged brass, which is naturally resistant to corrosion and frost. When paired with the provided wall-mount fixings, the installation remains rock-solid against the masonry, ensuring years of leak-free performance.
