Garden Brass Hose Pipe Tap Connector – Key FAQs

• Is this fitting made from brass?
  Yes, it’s made from solid brass for durability, improved thread strength and reliable outdoor performance compared with many plastic alternatives.

• Will it fit my outside tap?
  It’s designed for taps with a 3/4" BSP thread, which is common on many garden taps. If you’re unsure, check your tap size before ordering.

• Does it work with standard hose quick connectors?
  Yes. The outlet is designed to suit common push-fit hose quick connector systems for fast connection and removal.

• Can it be left fitted outdoors?
  Yes, it’s well suited to outdoor exposure. In freezing conditions, it’s best practice to isolate, drain down and disconnect hoses to reduce frost damage risk.

• What should I do if it leaks at the tap?
  Check the washer/seal is seated correctly and tighten by hand. If it still drips, the tap washer may be worn and replacing it usually resolves the leak.

• Why choose brass instead of plastic?
  Brass is typically more resistant to cracking if knocked or overtightened, handles UV and temperature changes better, and helps maintain a truer thread over time.

• Is overtightening a problem with brass connectors?
  It can be. Always tighten by hand until snug. Overtightening can damage washers or threads, even with metal fittings, so gentle tightening is best.
