What size are these taps?
-Please choose your bespoke sizes from the drop down menu.

What size is the water inlet pipework for these taps?
-All our taps have the standard 15mm water inlet pipework.

Can these taps be fitted directly into a basin or sink?
-No, these taps do not fit into basin or sink pre cast holes. They are designed to fit onto a wall. where exposed copper pipe is already in place. 

Are these taps suitable for a bath?
-These taps will be suitable for some baths, although they are generally sold for kitchen sinks as they have a water inlet pipe which is 15mm. 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 these for a bath.

Can these be fitted in a camper van?
-Yes these 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 these to the inlet pipe. These are readily available at any plumbers or DIY merchant.

Can I use these as outdoor taps?
-Yes, these taps are suitable for outdoor use.

How do I connect these to my water inlet?

• Connection: Attach your existing 15mm copper water feed pipe directly into the brass fitting of the wall mount. This uses a compression fitting – no soldering required.
• Wall Mounting: Secure the tap to the wall by screwing the brass backplate in place (screws supplied).

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 tap, 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 taps arrive?
-All our taps are made to order with a usual dispatch time of 3-5 days after purchase. Please contact us before buying if your order is urgent as these can often be sent earlier depending on current demand. All our taps are posted fully tracked 

I am in overseas, can I buy your taps?
-If you are in Australia where pipework is often 15mm (please check) you can buy these at checkout. For all other areas, please contact us and we will check they are compatible before purchase. 

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, our production partner, who is a gas engineer and plumber. He is more than happy to answer questions regarding tap size, style and fitting. We are often out of the country or in a noisy workshop so rarely hear the phone.
