For people who find conventional tap handles difficult to grip or turn, the movement needed to operate a tap can matter. XValve's garden tap has a half-turn action and a handle with soft edges and an easy-grip shape.

Half-turn garden tap action

The handle turns through half a turn to open or close the tap. You can adjust the flow within that movement. How comfortable a handle feels depends on the person and the installation.

A customer's experience

I’ve spent years grappling with my taps, as my hands just don’t have the strength anymore. My new XValve garden tap is a breeze to use, even the grandchildren can help out now.
