Features

The 22mm self-boring cutting tap provides a quick, convenient solution for adding a water supply feed for washing machines, dishwashers, or outdoor garden hoses without needing to cut your pipework or hire a plumber. Specifically engineered for standard 22mm copper pipes, this DIY tap clamps directly onto your existing line and pierces the pipe automatically as you tighten it, creating an instant branch connection. Furthermore, it features a standard 3/4″ BSP thread outlet that fits regular appliance inlet hoses, alongside switchable hot or cold indicator caps to suit your installation requirements. Because it combines a heavy-duty metal body with a secure sealing washer, it delivers a reliable, leak-free connection with zero complex plumbing skills required.
