Step by step

Guide

Installation Steps

Follow the sequence carefully for a perfect, leak-free seal on the first try.

01
Outer Side
Position the Outer Cover

Decide which finish you want visible on the outside — Rose Gold or Silver. Slide your chosen cover onto the threaded end of the tap so the finished side faces outward.

02
Sealing
Add the Outer Washer

Slide one white rubber washer onto the threads, pushing it snug against the outer cover. This creates the exterior watertight seal.

03
Insertion
Insert the Tap

Carefully guide the threaded end of the tap through the pre-drilled hole near the base of your copper dispenser. Hold it straight and flush against the outside wall.

04
Inner Side
Assemble the Inner Hardware

Reach inside the dispenser. Slide the second rubber washer onto the exposed threads so it sits flat against the inside wall. Then slide the remaining cover onto the threads, pressing it firmly against the washer.

05
Securing
Fasten the Lock Nut

Thread the stainless steel hex nut onto the end of the tap and turn clockwise until hand-tight against the inner cover. Keep the tap upright as you tighten.

Hand-tightening is sufficient. Using heavy wrenches may crack the rubber washers.
06
Testing
Perform a Leak Test

Add just enough water to submerge the internal connection. Place a dry paper towel under the spout and wait 5–10 minutes. A dry towel means you're ready to go. A drip means empty the tank and tighten the inner nut a touch more.

Keeping it beautiful

Care & Maintenance

Looking After Your Tap

Simple habits that keep your copper fixture pristine for years.

  • Periodically check the inner nut's tightness, especially under heavy daily use.
  • Wipe down the tap with a soft, damp cloth to preserve the rose gold finish.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool — they scratch the decorative cover rings.
  • If you notice weeping around the covers, re-check and gently tighten the inner nut.
