Outdoor Garden Faucet Antique Brass Spigot Spout Tap

We love the look and feel of this spigot. I really like the fact the handle only turn 45 degrees to turn on to full.

Beautifully designed and long enough to go over and fill into our pond. Only problem is that the nozzle end is too small and we can’t use a regular garden hose. We had to get a hose with a quick connect end.

The tap was exactly what I wanted, going into an oriental garden. It was of good quality and exactly as described. Delivery was prompt to Thailand and I got a follow-up message checking that everything was OK, which was most appreciated.

My wife and I really like the look of this spigot, and nicer alternatives are not easy to find online. The casting is done well and the design is nice.However, it does take some determination to get it to work with garden hoses commonly available in most US stores.The spigot includes a removable quick-connect fitting, but only the male side. You will have an incredibly difficult time finding a matching female fitting at hardware or garden supply stores or online. This renders it effectively useless. I don't know why the female side isn't included. It would make this a five star rating.The lack of a usable quick-connect fitting would be fine, but there is bigger problem. The spigot has a male 1/2-inch straight threaded outlet. All US hoses use 3/4 inch straight threads. I looked for a long time, but could not find a 1/2 inch alternative. In its "you might also like..." section for this product, Amazon recommends a brass conversion fitting with female 1/2-inch pipe-threading on one side and male 3/4 straight-threading, for garden hoses, on the other. So called "pipe threading" is when the male and female sides of the connection have threads that are slightly tapered so that they have an increasingly tighter fit the more you turn them together. This standard approach to threaded copper fittings is the way semi-permanent connections can be made not to leak. Straight threading is not tapered and requires a washer between the male and female sides to create the seal. When you try to screw the pipe-threaded converter on to the faucet's straight-threaded outlet, it will never get tight and create a seal, and the fitting has no internal stop to hold a washer, against the end of the male side, so the adapter will always leak.I had to make my own workable adapter by cutting the last 3/8 of an inch off of a sacrificial brass male 1/2 inch pipe-threaded fitting and screw that little ring into the female thread of the 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch hose fitting to act as a stop for a washer. This worked, but might not be what you'd expect to have to do to install a faucet.

Have been looking for a new hose bib for our camp for about a year now. This one popped up in my last search. I love the look and cannot wait to have it installed. Our water comes from a barrel at the side of our kitchen and is accessed by an old regular hose bib at the kitchen sink. THis will add some class to the sink.
