Wfp tap from B & Q ?
« on: January 25, 2010, 07:57:09 pm »
I've bust my tap and need a new one.
I'm sure I read somewhere that someone used gas taps from B&Q.

Anyone got a link to the thread or what taps they are. Need to get one local asap.

Yep H2ose, B&Q sell those - they also sell the inserts too but I can't remember what they are called. That tap is a gas tap - same as Gardiners sell.

Dunno I've got the 30' one - don't think they do a 35' ? Probably worth half price after a years work?
