Fitting Outdoor Hot Tap

Morning all,

Im toying with the idea of putting a hot tap outside using the pipework under the sink.

I already have a cold tap outside and will want to retain this for watering the garden.

The hot water will be for filling paddling pool for the little one, washing dogs etc. so don't want it coming out at 60 odd degrees.

What options have I got based on this? Will it have to be a TMV, meaning the cold pipe will need yet another feed cutting in?

There will be the small matter of taking some cupboard backs off to get full access but that's a different story once i know what parts i need and what needs doing

The only reliable way to do it is with a TMV.

Ok, so ill need to feed off existing hot tap, add a further feed from cold, put these both into a TMV and the outlet from that goes to the tap with a shut off inbetween?

How is your hot water supplied? If you have a low pressure vented hot water cylinder and you're trying to blend with high pressure cold water, you'll have problems. Unvented hot water or combi boiler would be ok but don't forget the backflow prevention.
