Fitting a Garden Tap

[curium]

When fitting a garden tap what do you fill the hole in the brickwork with, around the pipe, where it comes through the wall from inside the house?

Would you use expanding foam or is there something more specific?

Cheers!

Cement

Rather permanent but I guess the tap is more likely to go wrong than the pipe.

Cheers!

How big you doing the hole ?
Just use clear silicone. And sleeve it.

Sleeve and lag it with the usual double check valve and drain off. Foam will add an extra bit of insulation, capped off with some mortar
