[@Rayblondie]

Thank you for that. I found the answer, after watching five videos, on how to fit the 15 mm pipe to the tap by using an elbow plate. Brilliant.

[@marcusrowe9258]

Excellent video. Thanks

[@warriorjin1815]

Thanks you help me today at BNQ. I went to buy this haha

[@ronbaker9174]

For a basic guide, it was useful

[@JillStronggraphics]

Brilliant - thanks. I wasn't using enough PTFE tape and the tap kept ending-up pointing sideways ;-)

[@Lion19722]

I found You do need all that tape with this tap and wall mount, otherwise if you wind it right down to the last thread to tighten, then the tap points off to the left. If you turn it back a bit to center it, then it leaks👍

[@antoniogalluccio4213]

There is loctite 55.. it is more tight than PTFE tape and you can back it up 1/4 turn if you need to center it. A bit more expensive but perfect every time.

[@alunanderson3215]

Thanks that was great--very helpful. And yes you do need a lot of tape to get the tap straight, 7 turns did for me.

[@tajshamal2876]

Thank you mate, love from Afghanistan.

[@josealaincarbonellbraize3418]

The hammer , is the best of this video ! 😃

[@andrewnye9402]

well - this was actually useful. Dunno what the others were on about - i didnt know how to put joins on brass pipe!

[@Rayblondie]

Yeah I found the same thing after watching about five videos going nowhere.

[@seanadamson9911]

Maybe another few turns of the ptfe tape just to make, good lad

[@artfactorynahan]

which connector will support this for hose pipe?

Thank you!

How do u install this fitting into pre exisiting plasterboard wall behind a fridge? There’s no pre existing noggin

Why chrome wall plate outside

[@willows26]

....think you used enough tape there Butch?

[@Rayblondie]

It is needed. You try using less and you get leaks.

[@NeykongTV]

when i install the faucet it always ends up upside down

[@janjuag]

Before puting the PTFE tape on, first count how many turns tap will go then finally use enough PTFE tape and start screwing tap on the plate and stop on desired position in final turn, hope it will be tight enough so wont leak.

[@mr.z541]

Good tip. 👍

[@XYZ-xc1qi]

Useful tip, but how do you calculate out much tape is "enough"? Is the amount of tape related to the number of turns? In the past, I've generally wound the tape around only 2-3 times, or at most 4, so I was amazed at how much tape he put on. It would be great to have a rule of thumb or a method of calculating how much tape in different circumstances.

[@jayseabie215]

Will freeze and burst in the winter, even if insulted and turned off from inside and the tap is then opened as taps with check valves in them don't drain out completely.

[@iscraper6008]

Thanks this video is helpful. There seem to be a lot of negative comments. Hope it’s not because of your nationality.

[@user-ns7vj4tz5h]

Good morning i have a tap in garden and the water is constantly dripping from tap. I have never used my garden tap and therefore i want to isolate it but unfortunately i can't find my isolation tap. I have checked underneath the kitchen sink but there is No pipe and valve for garden tap. Please advise me. Many Thanks.

[@Beaujangles715]

The isolation valve will be on the pipe from the tap itself. Follow the pipe where it enters the house, when you find the valve use a flat head screwdriver to turn off. Usually half a turn does it but turn the tap on to check. Hope that helps

[@jeremyturner8509]

Should be isolating valve and non return valve on the inside 😉

[@snggeo]

I've got one of them and trying to do it now, my issue is that female bit from the wall elbow is facing down when tap is connected and I need it to be faced upright just like in this video. Any ideas what should I do?

[@Writeous0ne]

Turn it round the other way

Hello nice job, But what would have been a better job. If you had used a bib tap pipe rose . The pipe is concealed, behind the wall plate…. If you understand what I mean…

[@neilwalker4277]

He said it was a temporary connection, so why with the sarcastic comments on the wall and fittings?

[@jako530]

What's the copper pipe connected to?

[@Rayblondie]

To the elbow plate as he showed.

[@harpalswami201]

What is the name of elbow you use

[@Rayblondie]

Elbow plate.

[@kentuckywebkentuckyweb9104]

wow

[@johnbarnes4420]

Use brass screws that dont rust

[@ebnicolaou]

John Barnes he said it was temporary

[@GlobalTriathlonNetwork]

How do fix it when you do up the tap and when tight it sits sideways??

[@vitorvs]

You need to rotate your wall 90°

[@aman113]

More PTF tape around the thread so that you can reach tightness when its in the right direction.

[@sappcheng2113]

I have the exact sideway problem. Anyway, we do not need a washer for this?

[@jeremyturner8509]

Use a proper plumber🤭

[@rainbowdash3059]

Better get the plasterers in to sort that blow out on your wall.

[@madino]

Those horseflies leave an awful gash don't they

[@Jatt-Lad]

So he didn't tighten it 1 more turn with a spanner, must be in his back yard 😂😂

[@sonofagalwayman6553]

They didnt use as much tape on my leg when i broke it

[@antoniogalluccio4213]

Why you didn't show the inside work.. That's the most important thing to be wras approved and avoid future issues. Why you didn't make the vertical pipe shorter to avoid water freezing in it?

[@Rayblondie]

Good enough for me as that was all that I wanted. There are other videos that showed that.

[@mr.z541]

Yes, why didn't you show us every pipe and all the connections in the whole house ?🤦

You haven’t shown anything on the inside of the building. The water doesn’t just come out of the wall!

Get another video for that. I was grateful for what I learned. Thank you.

[@HitmanDarts]

4 maybe 6 turns of tape but not half a roll lol

[@Rayblondie]

They all say that. He is right.

[@stephenmontague4089]

You installed the wrong type of tap. Tap with built in check valve can only be used to replace an existing tap with built in check if first tap was installed before 1999. New tap installation must be tap without built in check valve. A check valve must be fitted within building in a place it will not freeze. Change in regs is due to no one drains the water from the check valve draining nut under tap in winter. Water within check valve then freezes which damages check valve mechanism rendering unable to act as back flow preventer allowing contamination into internal pipe work. If in doubt consult a qualified plumber.

[@katiecook4648]

How not to put a hole in the wall. Clearly didn’t want to show you that 😄

[@skl9374]

Forgot to show the inside duh

[@Rayblondie]

I was grateful for what he showed. Fitting an outside tap was shown not the inside plumbing.

[@lukemead5276]

🤦🏻‍♂️

[@caileanmoore2835]

Render on the wall is all burst. Drill the hole from the outside of the property to the inside and this doesn't happen. Why have all that copper pipe showing that can freeze in the Winter? All you need is soldered street elbow coming out of the wall and tightened into the wall plate. A chrome wall plate on a brass bib tap?

[@jbhoyceltic4806]

You make a video then

[@sinista6536]

Jbhoy Celtic Someone’s touchy, giving the same reply to every negative comment. I don’t need to be a chef to know food tastes bad and I don’t need to be a plumber to know when a pipes leaking. People can give criticism and improvements without having to film and upload a video themselves. People wanting to know how to install a tap need to know how to do it properly, and if theirs a better way, I’d like to know. Hence why comments like the ones above are helpful

[@lukenfoci]

I agree with you in everything BUT - you should really drain your taps before winter, so no issue with water freezing in pipes ;).

[@srowatt]

He said it was only a temporary installation for the tap plus maybe he lives in a warmer climate where it wouldn't freeze the water.

[@Rayblondie]

Stop criticising. He is doing it for free and it helped me a lot. You have to get the videos you need not criticise others.

[@robybabe4461]

Rubbish... far too much tape & if you were to tighten it up properly it would point to 45 degrees

[@Rayblondie]

Wrong. Other plumbers agree with him.

actually he put that much tape on purpose look how easily he can thread it in usually that much tape a Chanel lock wouldn't be able to tighten!

You do need all that tape to stop leaks.
