Water in tap when unpacked

Thanks

I'm not sure if tap manufacturers test their taps, never given it a thought before really. I've also never bought a tap that was already wet, washing machine yes but taps no.

If anything they're assuring you the tap has passed a quality control test so if there's anything wrong with it hit them with that email they sent you.

I have never had water in them before, but they must test them. Does the tap have any marks on it ?

what needs testing?, the seller obviously tried it and didnt like it

Thanks

What makes you think it's faulty?

Thanks

i saw on how it's made once they were making taps, and at the end of the process the taps were tested.

dear sir,

the tap i bought of you for my kitchen sink has arrived in a perfect, shiny new order, totally unmarked with all the parts needed to install it as you promised.
however, it is now wet so i want my money back!

sometimes you have to read it out loud dont you?

LOL!!! I totally agree with Red.

If I lived by that rule there wouldn't be many boiler installs.

Some makes of tap will have water in them from factory test.

Looks like Red upset the op

I have come across a few - not many. Ithink they probably batch test them - 1 in 100 or even 1 in 1000. If all the bits are there, and there are no signs of it having been fitted, and it works, I can't see the problem.

With Redsaw on this one.

Hi - I install a lot of Bristan taps and they sometimes have water run out of them as they do test them prior
to shipping.
