How to change a tap

Step 1. Fit the hose attachments to the underside of the new tap, as shown.

Step 3. Once you have removed the old hose attachments from the fittings that protrude from the wall, re-wind the threads with plumbing tape.

Step 4. (optional) Before you connect the new hose attachments you may first want to attach a stopcock. This will make jobs, such as replacing tap washers, easier in the future as you will not need to turn off the entire water supply beforehand. Instead, you will just have to close the stopcock.
