❓FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS❓
Are your taps suitable for use in a commercial setting?
- All the taps we sell are designed for use in a domestic setting only, either indoor or outdoor. They are not sold as suitable for commercial premises
I am outside the UK, can I buy your taps?
- We now ship our taps internationally to a limited number of countries, ; Please bear in mind that all the taps we sell are designed for use with UK standard 15mm pipework. Please check that you can accommodate this - reducers and adaptors fittings are often available in most countries.
Can I buy this tap as a pair?
Yes please see the Deck mounted tap section of our website for a pair or add 2 to your basket
These measurements are not suitable for me, can the tap be made to my own measurements?
-This tap can be made to measure within the limits of the measurements from the drop down menu. Please check the Tap Section of our shop for larger taps with a wider range of available sizes.
Can this be used as a monobloc mixer tap?
-No, this tap cannot be a mixer tap. It can be either hot or cold but is a single feed so cannot be used as both.
Do you sell any other style of copper and brass taps?
-Yes we do. See the 'Copper Sinks & Taps' section of our online shop where you will find over 20 different styles as well as a beautiful mixer tap in copper and brass.
What size is this tap?
-This tap has a small tap head, best suited to a smaller basin or sink, it will be too small for standard kitchen sinks, see measurements on the photographs for exact sizes.
The tap head is too small for my requirements, do you sell a chunkier tap?
-Yes we do, this tap is made from a dainty VERY small tap head with 15mm copper pipework, we sell other taps in both 1/2 inch size and a chunkier 3/4 inch size which have thicker 22mm pipe rather than the standard 15mm as well as 2 other slightly larger styles. See the 'Copper Sinks & Taps' section of our online shop.
What size is the water inlet pipework for this tap?
-All our taps have the standard 15mm water inlet pipework, this is the pipe below the countertop where the water is connected.
Can this tap be fitted directly into a basin or sink?
-No, this tap does not fit into basin or sink pre cast holes. This is designed to fit onto a countertop. This is 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.
Is this tap suitable for a bath?
-This tap will be too small for a bath. See the tap section of the website for our full range of taps.
Can this tap be fitted to a quartz, slate, concrete or marble type counter top?
-We would not recommend this to be fitted to this type of worktop as it is fitted with screws into the counter top, not with a back nut from below and these type of surfaces are not ideal for the 3 small drill holes required. We would only recommend this for WOOD OR LAMINATE surface. We are looking to develop a tap for these types of counters but this is still in the design stage.
Can this be fitted in a camper van?
-Yes this can be fitted in a camper van, we have sold many of these for camper van and horse box conversions. 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 this as an outdoor tap?
-Yes, this tap is suitable for outdoor use.
How do I connect this to my water inlet under my sink or basin?
-This is sold as a complete tap fitting which has 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.
How often will I need to polish my tap to keep it 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 3-5 working days after purchase. Please contact us through our online contact form or live chat messages before buying if your order is urgent as these can occasionally be sent earlier if we have space in our order books. All our taps are posted by Royal Mail Tracked 48.
I have another question or I need some more advice about what tap to buy, can you help?
-Yes we can. These are made by Martin, (Lea Gas and Heating) our production partner, who is a gas engineer and plumber. He is more than happy to answer questions regarding tap size, style and fitting. As we are out of the country frequently or in a noisy workshop where we cant always hear the phone, the best and quickest way to contact us is via the website Live Chat. This is not a chat bot, it is either Martin or Louise. Alternatively you can use the website contact form or leave a message on our answering machine and we will give you a call back.
