FixtheBog 20mm MDPE Outside Tap Kit With Plastic Wall Plate & Garden Hose Fitting DCV

Product Information

This is simply just a matter of screwing it in and then tightening it up using the correct sized spanner. Only you know your level of competence but if you haven’t done any plumbing before then installing an outside tap might be a bit much for you. There are no outside tap kits that use everything I like to use, but if you can make it work then go for it. This could be likened to siphoning petrol out of a tank by giving the hose an initial suck, then letting the vacuum pressure do the rest. Choose a place to cut the pipes that has plenty of space around it and a good 100mm or so either side of the pipe so that you can easily get a T-joint in place.

This heavy duty 1/2 inch brass outside tap is nearly twice the weight of a standard domestic garden hose union bib tap.Fitting an outside tap is a great idea as it allows you to connect hose pipes and fill buckets and watering cans easily for a variety of jobs in and around the garden and outdoors. Sometimes I will have to drill from the inside, but it takes a lot of practice to not blow the brick out. As you can see, all of this has been made using copper pipe and copper compression fittings and this is absolutely fine, but if you have never attempted any plumbing before we would suggest that you use Pushfit fittings as they are much easier to work with. To prevent any such issues with your new garden tap it’s a good idea to trun the water off at the isolation valve and then drain the water out of the supply pipe through the drain plug.

Learn how to install a garden tap and understand what is in an outside tap kit so that you will have everything you need before you start your project.With the new T-joint in place for the pipe branch you can then work out exactly where to drill the hole through the wall to run the pipe through. If you’re using Pushfit fittings, simply wiggle the joint fitting on to the end of each pipe, making sure it’s pushed all the way down to the base and then pull it back slightly to make sure it’s engaged.

During the colder months of the year, the chance of the temperature dropping to the point of freezing is quite high and as you probably know, when water freezes it expands. The fitting ensures an easier working environment in confined places and removes the need for hot works on site. Through wall pipe with brass tap mounting plate (15mm copper pipe part is approx 350mm long), screws and wall plugs.The first thing to do inside is cut the copper pipe from the new outside tap down to the correct length. To replace an old outside tap that is already fitted you only need to replace the bib tap itself and leave the backplate. When you know where you want to cut, use your pipe cutters to cut through your cold water pipe, but be sure you have a rag or towel to hand because some water will come out! The most common way of connecting this to the water supply is to add an elbow to the copper pipe coming from the outside tap using a 15mm brass compression elbow or Speedfit.
