Does not drip/flow from the wrong places, unlike my 30 year old tap. I used to have to open the old tap all the way to stop water coming out at the handle. No such issues now. Had to try three times to get the right amount of PTFE tape on the threads so the tap would be vertical, and not drip at the thread. Saved me from having to make new holes in the wall, and find a fitting that worked with my old feeder hose, Only drawback is that it’s very hard to feel when the tap actually closes -bit stiff regardless of position. So we had to learn where the correct position is so we won’t ruin the internal rubber washer (only an issue since we have a hose with a spray gun on the tap). Review: Excellent tap - Bought to replace an old leaky outside tap, this one was a straight swop. It has a check valve built in (a requirement for outside taps) and fitted without any issues (use PTFE tape to seal thread). Very good value for money and more than adequate for my needs. ## Features - Double Check Valve ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00Y3OURSY | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | No | | Colour | Chrome | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (536) | | Date First Available | 4 July 2011 | | Finish | Polished | | Handle material | Brass | | Handle/lever placement | Center | | Included Components | Hose Connector | | Installation method | Single Hole | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 200 g | | Item model number | 798256118975 | | Manufacturer | Choice DIY | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Number Of Holes | 1 | | Number of handles | 2 | | Package Dimensions | 9.4 x 8 x 2.2 cm; 200 g | | Part Number | 5052436071104 | | Plug profile | Wall Mount | | Special Features | Double Check Valve | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Choice DIY - **Colour:** Chrome - **Finish type:** Polished - **Hole count:** 1 - **Included components:** Hose Connector - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Mounting type:** Wall Mount - **Number of handles:** 2 - **Recommended uses for product:** Outdoor - **Special feature:** Double Check Valve ## Images ![Garden Hose Tap with Double Check Valve by Choice DIY - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ELyehRb3L.jpg) ![Garden Hose Tap with Double Check Valve by Choice DIY - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51k6WOfreyL.jpg) ![Garden Hose Tap with Double Check Valve by Choice DIY - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nRuAxrGbL.jpg) ![Garden Hose Tap with Double Check Valve by Choice DIY - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qsnYxdWqL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what are the dimensions of this item** A: Sorry I do not know the dimensions, I just bought it as a garden tap with double check valve.As far as I am aware, all these taps look similar, but this particular one has a double check valve to prevent water re-entering the mains pipe from the outside hosepipe. **Q: what do i need to connect this tap to a hozelock system** A: The nozzle on this tap unscrews to allow an ordinary 3/4" Hozelock adaptor to be attached. **Q: Does it drip unless fully opened? (My old one does, and some new ones do to, I understand)** A: No drips with mine. I did have a seepage from the screw on housing but tightened it up and have no problems now. **Q: can i connect hose as water feed to this tap** A: Hi, It is possible but you would need to use some adaptors to convert the hose pipe to 1/2" female fitting. Hozelock have adaptors available for example product code 2041. Please double check the diameter of your hose before purchasing the adaptor.
