Drain Tap Support Bracket

Drain Tap Support Bracket

The Drain Tap Support Bracket is a simple but essential mounting bracket used in caravan and motorhome waste water drainage systems. It supports and stabilises the drain tap assembly — the part you open to release grey/black waste — helping keep it securely mounted to the vehicle’s body or drain outlet fitting, preventing stress on hoses and fittings during use and travel.

Product Overview

This drain tap bracket is supplied in two halves that clamp around the drain tap assembly to form a secure mount when screwed or clipped in place. It’s a common accessory fitted by many UK leisure vehicle manufacturers such as Swift, Autotrail, Autosleeper, Bentley and Bailey, and helps keep waste drain taps positioned correctly under the vehicle body or access panel.
