Outside tap

[marsaday]

I am trying to find an outside tap on tool station, but cant seem to find what i need. It needs a back plate so it can be secured to the wall. Also do they come in solder, push fit or compression ?

Any links will be appreciated.

They come in all types..

Tap

15mm x ½" Outside Tap with Check Valve | NoLinkingToThis

wwall plate
Wall Plate Elbow 15mm x ½" | NoLinkingToThis

Use these compression will be easier and easier to maintain

You can also try screwfix part nos 37241-92934 and you might like to look at 82202 i find these quite useful

I quite like to use 33291 from toolstation.
Very tidy on the outside.

Don't forget you'll need to fit a double check valve inside the property to comply with the water regulations.

I like these as well, really tidy! Do have to be really carefull punching the pipe through though if drilling from inside...
If you blow the face off the outside finish it is a pain to get the fixings in for the wall plate.

Ask for tap with built in check valve

 

[Mike Jackson]

Taps with integral check valves are not water regs compliant for a new installation. They are only suitable when upgrading an existing tap. A new installation must have a double check valve and isolating valve internally.

I'm fairly sure speedfit do a push fit double check valve. They're normally compression anyway.

Cheers mike i didnt know that

JG Speedfit do a push fit double check valve but it's way overpriced. A standard compression one is better. The bib taps with the built in DCV don't last in very cold weather, even with the tap drained, so a separate internal one is the best solution. Don't forget to fix an isolating valve so that you can turn the tap off and drain it in the winter.

Always drill from the outside so that you don't burst your wall.

and if you are using the standard back plate, fit it below the point where the pipe comes out the wall so that it can be drained in winter.
