These kitchen, bathroom or outdoor taps are supplied with 6 fitting screws and would look fabulous with any Belfast sink or alongside the French copper basin and sinks available in our website shop.
All the taps we sell are rustic in design and do not have aerators so the flow of water is a continuous stream similar to that of an outdoor tap.

❓FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS❓

Can I buy just one of these taps?
-Yes, for just one tap see listing single XL tap

I would like to buy more than the number of taps listed as available. Do you have any more than the listing shows?
-Yes we do. We limit the number of taps on each listing in order to keep to our dispatch times but we do have at least 6 of each style of tap ready to make. Please contact us if you want to buy more than the number available and we will increase the listing.

If the taps are unsuitable, can I return for a refund?
-This specific listing is for a custom size made to measure pair which are made specifically to your own measurements therefore they are generally not refundable. However, if you are having a problem with suitability please feel free to contact us and we will always do our best to help resolve any problems or give advice before buying.

The measurements available are not suitable for me, can the taps be made any shorter?
--This pair of taps are an extra tall option, they can be made with dimensions shorter than this, please see our standard custom size taps here - standard custom taps

Do you sell any other style of copper and brass taps?
-Yes we do. See our website shop where you will find 4 or 5 different styles including single and pairs of pillar taps, more wall mounted taps as well as a beautiful mixer tap in copper and brass. www.allthingsfrenchstore.com 

What size are these taps?
-Please see measurements on the photographs in the listing for exact sizes. These are our extra tall optiob, please measure carefully before buying or ask for advice. See the tap section of our shop for more styles and sizes at Copper and Brass Handmade Taps 

What size is the water inlet pipework for your taps?
-All our taps have the standard 15mm water inlet pipework, this is the pipe below the countertop where the water is connected. Whilst this has exposed 22mm pipework, the inlet is still 15mm.

Can your taps be fitted directly into a basin or sink?
-No, our taps do not fit into basin or sink pre cast holes. They are all designed to fit onto a countertop. They are fitted by screwing the brass base into the top of the counter from above using the screws provided. This is not fitted using a back nut.

Are these suitable for a bath?
-They will be suitable for some baths, although this style is generally sold for basins and sinks as it has a water inlet pipe which is a 15mm diameter. Some baths, particularly in older houses have a water inlet pipe of 22mm. Please check with your plumber or fitter if you are unsure of your pipe size if you are buying for a bath, or message us for advice.

Can the taps you sell be fitted in a shepherds hut?
-Yes, all out taps can be fitted in a shepherds hut, we have sold many of these for camper vans, shepherds huts and horse box conversions. NB. Camper van pipework is usually smaller than standard 15mm so you will need to use a reducing fitting to join this to the inlet pipe. These are readily available at any plumbers or DIY merchant.

Can I use your taps as outdoor taps?
-Yes, all the taps we sell are suitable for outdoor use.

How do I connect these to my water inlet?
- All our taps are sold as complete tap units which have the standard UK 15mm copper pipe attached below the counter where it is fitted. Your water inlet pipe can be attached to the tail end by soldering, compression fittings or push fit fitments.

Can your taps be fitted to a quartz, slate or marble type counter top?
- We only recommend this style for wood and laminate worktops. As our taps are all fitted by securing screws into the counter itself from the top, not from a back nut underneath, they may not be suitable for a quartz, concrete, granite, slate or marble top. Please check with your fitter or message for advice before buying if you are unsure.

How often will I need to polish my taps to keep them shiny and what should I use?
- Copper and brass are metals that naturally tarnish over time if left unpolished. A quick buff up every week or 2 will keep it shiny. We use Brasso wadding to keep our taps shiny. This is available at most supermarkets. Rub some wadding over the taps, let it dry for 15 minutes and buff it off with a yellow duster. If you would prefer the more rustic natural brown patina of copper then leave them unpolished and this colour will develop over time.

When will my order arrive?
-All our taps are made to order with a usual dispatch time of 5 working days after purchase. . Please check the listing for an up-to-date delivery estimate. Contact us via live chat or email before buying if your order is urgent as these can occasionally be sent earlier depending on current demand. All our taps are posted by Royal Mail Tracked 48.
