What is a Garden Tap?
A garden tap, also known as an outdoor tap or hose bib, is a plumbing fixture designed for outdoor use. It provides a convenient and accessible water source for various outdoor activities, such as watering plants, filling buckets or watering cans, and connecting hoses for gardening or cleaning purposes. Here are some key features and aspects of a garden tap:
Design: A garden tap is typically a simple and compact valve installed on an exterior wall or within a dedicated plumbing box. It consists of a handle or lever attached to a valve mechanism, which controls the water flow.
Connection: The tap is designed to accommodate hose connections and other outdoor water fixtures. It usually has a threaded outlet or spout where you can attach a hose or other water accessories using appropriate fittings.
Water Supply: The garden tap is connected to the main water supply line of a building or property. It allows for the controlled flow of water to the outdoor area, separate from the indoor plumbing system.
Shut-off Mechanism: The valve mechanism inside the garden tap enables you to turn the water supply on or off. By rotating the handle or lever, you can open or close the valve, controlling the flow of water.
Frost Protection: In regions where freezing temperatures are common, garden taps often have frost protection features. These may include built-in mechanisms that drain the water from the tap when it is turned off, preventing freezing and potential damage.
Installation: Garden taps can be installed at a convenient location in the outdoor area, ensuring easy access to water for various activities. They are typically connected to the main water supply line using appropriate plumbing techniques and materials.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance of a garden tap includes checking for leaks, cleaning or replacing washers or seals if necessary, and ensuring proper functioning of the shut-off mechanism.
Garden taps are essential for outdoor water use and provide a convenient way to access water for gardening, lawn care, and other outdoor tasks. They are designed to withstand outdoor conditions and offer a reliable and controlled water supply for your outdoor needs.

Applications
A water tap is a simple device we take for granted daily, yet it has an important function. It allows us to control water flow in our homes and businesses. The first step is turning off the main supply valve, stopping all incoming water from entering your home or business. Next, you need to turn on the faucet at the highest point you want flowing into your home or business to release residual pressure before shutting down. Finally, go back to where you turned off the main supply valve and shut it off completely to ensure no leaks. Now your water tap is turned off. You are ready to perform any repairs or maintenance that might be needed.
