Outdoor Tap with Brass Frog Handle


SOLD

This is an outdoor tap, suitable for standpipes or, with a suitable flange or mounting plate, as a water butt fitting and featuring a brass frog instead of a handle. It has been used as there is some verdigris and remnants of PTFE tape on the thread. I have tested it by virtue of filling it with water and while not a completely reliable test it did confirm that it does drip a bit from the stem so it may need a new washer but if you're a competent plumber this is not beyond you. While this probably isn't a complete item - some come with a backplate for mounting into a butt - new ones are in the £35 area so if you're after a budget functioning item this could be for you.

Fittings I would imagine are 19mm/3/4" BSP thread although this is, I hasten to add untested but the evidence of it having been used suggest it's pretty much standard.
