BLK PP Lever Ice Bib Tap 1”

The 1" Ice Resistant Outdoor Bib Tap provides a durable external water outlet for sites exposed to freezing winter temperatures.

Unlike conventional rigid outdoor taps that can be damaged when trapped water freezes and expands, this tap uses a robust polypropylene copolymer body designed to resist ice-related damage. This makes it suitable for exposed water points on commercial sites, farms, yards, workshops and other outdoor installations where cold-weather performance is important.

Suitable for water temperatures from -20°C to +75°C, the tap helps maintain reliable access to water while reducing the risk of freeze-related damage during winter.

The tap combines a polypropylene body with brass internal components, including a blow-out resistant brass stem, chromium-plated brass ball and nickel-plated brass hose union. A quarter-turn lever handle provides straightforward on/off operation for regularly used outdoor water points.

Rated to PN16, it is suitable for water systems operating at pressures up to 16 bar.

Typical Applications

• Farms and agricultural buildings

• Construction and worksites

• Commercial yards

• Workshops and maintenance areas

• Irrigation systems

• Outdoor wash-down points

• Water tank installations

• External hose connection points

Why Choose an Ice Resistant Bib Tap?

When water freezes, it expands. In a conventional rigid tap this can place pressure on the body and fittings, potentially causing cracking or failure.

The polypropylene copolymer body is designed to better tolerate freezing conditions, helping reduce the risk of damage when temperatures fall below zero.

The ice-resistant design protects the tap itself, but exposed pipework and fittings should still be insulated or otherwise protected against freezing where required.
