Hi all
My sister has a garden tap fitted many years ago with the flexi pipe and a 10 minute tap I think they called it, the kind where the isolation tap cuts into the 15mm feed pipe. the problem is her jet wash keeps cutting out which I believe is due to the loss of pressure with the flex feed connection.
I am planning to remove existing tap and pipework and flexi connection and plumb in a new tap with double check valve, isolation valve to the 15mm feed.
the problem is the pipework below where the garden tap pipework is coming into the house.
There are two pairs of 15mm and 22mm pipe work running perpendicular to the boiler 10 inches below where the garden tap pipework comes into house.
The bottom 22mm is the cold feed, I will be teeing of this to 15mm, but what is the best way to connect this to the 15mm tap pipework, ie, as I dont have a pipe bender.
If I solder a 15mm 90 bend at the top to ( garden tap pipework ) and a 15mm 90 degree to the 22x22x15mm tee, is this acceptable, because this will leave a gap between the existing 15mm and 22mm pipework running perpendicular to the fitting and nowhere to fix pipework to the wall.
I will be fitting a Isolator and drain off to the 15mm.
Sorry I havent got any pictures.
The 22 mm is a cold feed, not a flow or return to boiler as it has a 15mm tee off to the cold water to sink tap.
Thank you.
