Fit an outside tap in Stamford: the basics

What the job involves

An outside tap is teed off the cold supply inside (usually under the kitchen sink), run through the wall and fitted with an isolation valve and a double-check valve so garden water can't flow back into the drinking supply. It usually takes a plumber an hour or two if the kitchen is on an outside wall.

Safety and good to know

Water regulations require backflow protection on outside taps, so make sure a double-check valve is fitted. In frosty weather turn the inside isolation valve off and open the outside tap to drain it.
