Brass double-outlet garden tap with quarter-turn lever

Its photos show everything needed laid out beside the tap: two black seals, two silver adapters and a roll of PTFE tape. No need to go back to the shop to fit the tap and connect hoses to it.

The adapters screw onto the outlets, seal in place, and turn each one into a quick-connect fitting for a clip-on hose end. The PTFE tape is for the inlet thread, marked 1/2″ in the photo: six to eight tight turns, in the direction of screwing, before screwing the tap into the wall outlet.

The large yellow handle on top opens with a quarter turn. The yellow butterfly handle on the left outlet closes that outlet independently: one hose can stay connected while the other works.

Note that the exact shape of the handle can vary from one shipment to another: the manufacturer states this on its photos, which show four lever designs. The operation stays the same. The visuals show its uses: watering flowers, connecting a watering timer, feeding a washing machine or washing the car. With two outlets, you keep the timer connected on one and unroll the hose on the other, without ever disconnecting anything.

The tap measures 15 cm long by 10 cm high. The threaded inlet is 2 cm, the outlets 2.5 cm and the connector nozzles 1.6 cm.

The visuals state an operating range of -20 °C to 80 °C. Water standing in the body can still freeze: turn off the supply upstream from the first cold nights, open the handle and the butterfly handle, then bring in the hoses. You have 30 days to change your mind after receipt. A round wall plate, visible in some photos, goes with fitting on a façade.
