Professional External Tap Connection: 15mm x 1/2″ Wall Plate Kit
The 15mm x 1/2″ Wall Plate with 350mm Extension Tube is the definitive hardware choice for installing outdoor taps or connecting appliances through exterior masonry. At ECO Heat Shop, we understand that plumbing sustainability relies on robust, secure connections. This extended wall plate eliminates the need for awkward internal joints hidden inside wall cavities, significantly reducing the risk of inaccessible leaks and protecting your home’s structural integrity.
The unit features a heavy-duty brass mounting plate with pre-drilled holes for a secure fix to the substrate. The integrated 350mm copper tube provides ample length to pass through even the thickest modern brickwork, allowing for a neat compression or solder connection on the interior side of the property.
Key Features & Professional Benefits
- Seamless Copper Tube: The 350mm tail is made from high-grade copper, ensuring a smooth flow and easy bending if required for internal pipe alignment.
- 1/2″ BSP Threaded Outlet: Designed to fit standard UK bib taps, hose connectors, and appliance valves with a secure, tapered thread fit.
- Three-Point Fixing: The sturdy brass wall flange features three countersunk fixing points to ensure the tap remains rigid, even under heavy hose-pipe usage.
- Weather Resistant: Forged from high-quality brass and copper to resist the elements, preventing rust and degradation over years of exposure to the UK climate.
- Versatile Application: While primarily used for outside taps, this fitting is also ideal for reaching internal plumbing through vanity units or kitchen splashbacks.

Expert Tip: When installing, ensure the tube has a very slight downward slope toward the outside. This allows water to drain away from the internal wall. Always use high-quality PTFE tape on the 1/2″ thread to ensure a watertight seal with your tap, and remember to isolate and drain the pipework during winter months to prevent frost damage.
