Outlet Valve with Ball Valve, Male Thread 1/2 Inch

the pipe connector sheered off when tightening

Much easier to turn on and off than a traditional tap, and no weeping around the valve. Would be perfect if it came with a stainless nut to hold the handle on and not a nickel plated one which rusts after a day or two and leaves nasty rust stains on the handle. Luckily I have some M6 stainless nuts to hand, and replaced the original nut with one of those and some threadlock. Liked it so much, bought 4 of them to replace all my outside taps. Thread is 1/2" BSPP. If the tap's not upright when you tighten it fully on the wall mount, get yourself some tinned copper wire, and wind one or two loops around the thread before you screw it into place, so you are able to nip up against this and adjust the point at which is comes tight. Application of some Fernox LS-X and PTFE tape will seal it a treat.

The thread was not long enough to put a washer on and the shoulder after the thread was not big enough so water leaked past or just pulled through the hole.

Did not keep wrong size.

Exilent

great hose tap but would benefit from a flow straightener for use without a hose connected.great fit to existing outside female 1/2” fitting and I didn’t need to pack with a washer to get the correct position

Sheered away from joint, god knows how long it's been leaking. Very poor quality.

Good tap
