Review: Quality Tap Easy To Fit Works Perfectly - Thank You desertcart - The tap looks great 👍 The tap was easy to fit 💪 The tap is smooth when turning on and off and there are no drips at all 💧 Excellent value for money 💰 Functions perfectly 🏆 Would I recommend? Yes! 💯% I hope my review was useful.
Review: Seems to be a decent tap - Easy to fit. However, although not a fault with the tap itself, I had to use ptfe tape and jointing compound to stop a small leak where the tap body screwed into the main pipework so suggest you bear this in mind before undertaking the replacement. The tap spout unscrews, so you can fit a screw-on hosepipe connector. Of course, only time will tell how long the tap will last.
