Carved dragon double-outlet garden tap

On a wall fountain, above a stone trough or against a courtyard wall, a tap is on show. This one is treated as a decorative object: a raised dragon coils around the spout, the two control heads are carved and the wall plate picks up the same motifs.

The shade is an aged gold, dark in the recesses and lighter on the raised parts, which suits stone, wood and old brick. The photos show it just as well above an indoor basin as at the edge of a garden pond.

The tap has two outlets. At the front, a wide-mouthed spout for filling a watering can or feeding a fountain. At the back, a downward-facing outlet fitted with a connector for a garden hose, hose reel or car-wash hose.

Each outlet has its own control: a wing lever on one, a carved head on the other. The visuals show all four cases: front only, back only, both together or everything closed. The connector nozzle detaches so you can fit a splitter or a timer. Handy for a fountain: the spout runs continuously while the rear outlet stays closed, ready for the evening watering.

It measures roughly 16 cm long and 10 cm high; the front control head is 7 cm. The inlet is shown as "4 points" in the visuals, the equivalent of 1/2″, i.e. 15x21, the most common wall outlet.

PTFE tape and the decorative wall plate are supplied: the plate slides over the thread, and the tape is wound in the direction of tightening. This dragon ships within 24 hours. Before winter, switch the water off indoors and leave both outlets open to drain the body.
