Hi there - !st post so easy now ;)

I have just built a wooden shed about 12 ft from my kitchen window with the idea of putting the washing machine in it

The electrics are all sorted but I basically need to bring the pipework from under the sink , under the house floor, out across a concrete yard and up into the shed to the machine

I have researched a little and was planning to come off the original T's which feed the hot and cold to the machine and run into Hep 2 O pipe and bring this out into a track in the yard and up into the shed

Is there any simple method you can recommend and anything in particular I should or should not do?

Thanks for any future help and remember I aint a professional so treat me as such if you could :LOL:

Cheers

Thanks Kev - any advice on the connection side of things - ie going from 15 mm copper to Hep 2 O and back up again is no bother surely ?



Cheers

ps - Shed is fully insulated with 50mm polystyrene and 3/8 exterior ply

Any advice on the type of insulation for the pipework under the concrete?

sorry to be an arse but isn't there a speedfit fitting which will connect the washing machine hose type fitting on the copper T to a Hep 2 O pipe (15mm as well I presume or is 22 better?)

This would avoid compression fittings ?

Yes that was a ****tesque question lol

What I meant to refer to was that I think I have seen a speedfit appliance tap which can connect directly into the valve of the T then run into a Hep 2 O pipe - or is this nonsense?

Is 15 mm Hep the optimum?

Remember - You need us thickos to feel important
;) ;) :oops:
 
You can get Speedfit isolating valves, sure. The all plastic ones don't last long at all though - the screwdriver slot gets chewed. Use a normal stop cock. Compression is very easy to do!

DOing what you want would be against the regs in England! You could just provide an outside tap and screw a normal WM hose onto that - 3/4" thread. Then in winter you keep the hose indoors!
