Galley tap

[2nd_apprentice]

Does anybody know where to get a tap like this:

No valves or nasty plastic, basically just a bent tube with fittings.

ebay??

Yeah, would be nice not having to import it from the US&A for 15 quid plus import tax though

Indeed : In Google search enter 'fynspray' as stated in the US eBay ad and add the parameter 'site:.uk' to find homepages in the UK (ie. domains that contain '.uk')

Very odd, that's exactly what I did. Reckon friday nights don't do it for research :-D
Thanks!

FWIW I have had differing results from "Google" when using a PC and tablet.

For the money they're asking I'm pretty sure you could make one with parts from your local plumbing merchants.

Try Penguin engineering in Hayling Island.

Unfortunately Aquafax won't deal with end customers but I've now ordered one through my local swindlery. Checked youtube on how to bend tubes too and decided not to try DIY construction.

Really? I've bought stuff from their Hamble store plenty of times!

Clicking the order button you either need to "login as trade customer" or:

Non-trade customers Please click here to find your nearest stockist

Perhaps you could just create an account like with Farnell, haven't tried and TBH why would why? No need to sign up with everybody and his dog. Just yesterday had an ebay seller thanking me for my order and asking me to sign up with "itembase" for convenience. Sure, like I need a company to keep track of all my spendings and items purchased online!

Bought two from here http://www.classicmarine.co.uk/boatstore/product.asp?strParents=0,34&CAT_ID=190&P_ID=192 a few years ago, great little company.

Some great stuff on there, bookmarked!

Fynspray tap arrived today, also bought a Whale Galley Mk III pump to go with it. On the boat I discovered, much to my surprise, that the pump is designed for 15mm hoses, whereas the tap expects a 13mm one. Strange, as I had researched this before and thought that the Whale pump used 13 mm as well. No problem using a very tight jubilee clip on the brass tap but is there a better way? Obviously I'm new to plumbing!

 

[2nd_apprentice]

Problem solved! Whale uses a proprietary hose connector(!) in either 13 or 15 mm and you can use both.
