Traditional Brass and Copper Basin Tap, Copper Bathroom or Kitchen Tap (T60)

This is a beautiful single vintage style tap; 1 tap, which has copper pipework and a brass tap head with detachable nozzle. This kitchen or bathroom tap is supplied with 3 fitting screws and would look fabulous with any Belfast sink or alongside the French copper basin and sinks available in our website shop. This is a very short tap height, similar to the height of bathroom basin taps. See the tap section of our website for taller taps and made to measure options. 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.
🚰 FITTING: As this is fixed and secured by screws into the top, not from a back nut underneath, it is not recommended for a quartz, marble, slate or granite top. This is recommended for wooden and laminate worktops ONLY. Please check with your fitter or message for advice before buying if you are unsure. This has been well made and has a nicely polished finish, it is supplied in one piece not in separate pieces and does not come apart. This has a 15mm standard UK copper water inlet pipe which is suitable for bathroom basins, kitchen sinks, camper van conversions and outdoor sinks but may not be suitable for some baths which have a different size pipe connection, check before buying if this is for a bath.
⏰ DISPATCH TIME  is usually 5 working days after purchase as all our taps are made to order.

❓FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS❓

Can I buy a pair of these taps?
-Yes you can, please see listing - Brass and Copper pair 

These measurements are not suitable for me, can this be made to my own measurements?
-Yes, this can be made to measure at no extra cost. Please see listing - Made to measure listing

Do you sell any other style of copper and brass taps?
-Yes we do. See the copper Basins and Taps section of our website where you will find 4 or 5 different styles including pillar taps, wall mounted taps and a beautiful mixer tap made from copper and brass.

What size is this tap?
-See photos on each listing for the tap head sizes of all the taps we sell. This is a very short tap height, similar to the height of bathroom basin taps

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 be fitted directly into a basin or sink?
-No, this tap do not fit into basin or sink pre cast holes. It is designed to fit onto a countertop. It is fitted by screwing the brass base into the top of the counter using the screws provided not from a back nut underneath.

Is this suitable for a bath?
-This will be suitable for some baths, although it is generally sold for basins and sinks as it has 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 this for a bath.

Can this 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 secured by screwing holes into the surface from above not from a back nut underneath and these type of countertops may not take the small drill holes required. We recommend this for wood and laminate surfaces ONLY. We are looking to develop a tap for these types of tops 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 taps?
-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 complete tap fitting which has the standard UK 15mm copper pipe (tail end) 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 fitment.

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 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 tap arrive?
-All our taps are made to order with a usual dispatch time 5 days after purchase. Please contact us before buying if your order is urgent as these can occasionally be sent earlier depending on current demand. All our taps are posted fully tracked by either DPD or  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, 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. The quickest way to contact us is through the website live chat (you will be speaking to a real person, either Martin or Louise, not a chat bot!) or our online contact form. If you would like a call back please leave your contact details. Alternatively, leave a message on our answerphone at 01772 494985 and we will call you back.
