Outside Tap

[ROSSinHD]

Hi all

Our house hasn't got an outside tap. Not to much of a problem as we have good fake lawn but watering the few flowers back and front with a can is becoming a pain in the ass.

Looking on the web it seems easy enough to install but I think I have a problem that complicates it. From what I gather the outdoor tap splices into an indoor tap but we have no taps anywhere near an outside wall.

What would be my options for an outside tap to use with a hose.

I have tried the mixer tap connectors and they are crap and fall off.

Thanks

Where is your kitchen/utility room sink?

Kitchen sink is pretty much bang center of the foot print of the house backing onto an internal wall.

Only other tap downstairs is bang in the middle of the wall adjoining the house next door.

If it's just for flowers and tubs, have you considered a water butt and a suitable pump ?

Like this.

I have a water butt but that pump will not go in through the top.

I would like the hose to be able to use a power washer for the patio etc too.

Any cold-water feed will do, it doesn't have to be a tap. Do you have any toilet cisterns, washing machines, dish washers, boilers, etc. on external walls?

Nope nothing on an external wall.

Yeah we are semi detached. Water boiler is upstairs against the adjoining property wall but in the middle of that wall. Stop cock is in the same room.

Decided to get my dads plumber to come have a look and see what can be done.

Thanks all.
