How to change garden tap?

Gday all, I have this garden tap out the front that I’d like to change. I’d like to replace it with a tap that you can remove the handle when finished. 
any advice be much appreciated.
I’ve attached pictures of the current tap.

Re: changing garden tap

Hello @Glenn83 

 

In this particular instance, you'll need to engage the services of a licensed plumber. Your garden tap is currently welded to the copper pipe and the only way to remove it is to melt the solder with a blow torch. However, once the tap is removed I propose replacing it with a Kinetic 20mm Brass Male Vandal Proof Garden Tap. The handle key can be removed preventing the tap from being turned on. Your plumber will know what parts will be needed for a wall mounting process.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
