Outside tap, supply from existing Washing Machine supply

[7omkin]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to install an external tap for use in garden and i need your help

Please see the image

My washing machine and dishwasher are connected to individual valves (i am not sure of the sizes, but seem standard). I wish to take out another supply to the garden by drilling through the wall.

I intend to use push fit fittings for the extension.

My only worry is now, how to make arrangement to provide me another supply point.

I have looked at B&Q instore and Screwfix catalogues, but cannot find anything that can split one supply.

What are my cheap options ?

I hope I am clear

Thanks, Tomkin

Thanks.

To be more precise, I have got this supplying to both my washing machine and dishwasher. What do i need to fit there to be able to use pushfit tee

if you want to come off the same valve as the wm then you'll need this.

have you already got a tap kit ?

 

[7omkin]

Thanks. This is what i was looking for where else can i get it. Do screwfix do these. What is it exactly called.

And one more thing. I can use one of these

to take the extension outside.

What size of pipe do i need and what size drill do i need ?

No i dont have the tap kit.
Thanks again

are you planning on using the same valve as the wm or have a seperate supply to the tap with its own valve ?

 

[7omkin]

The same one

 

[seco services]

if you want to use the same valve then you'll need the y connector that i showed you so you can reconnect your wm back on.

Thanks matey.
What size of pipe do i need and what size drill do i need ?

 

[seco services]

depends what kit you use.

some come with a wm pipe that you can screw straight onto the y connector and the other end to the tap

or if you plan on use copper pipe then you'll need a 15 x 3/4" one of them connectors you showed me to screw on the y connector to take the pipe.


not the way i would do it personally.
as you can't isolate the tap in winter without isolating the wm aswell.

 

[7omkin]

What I intend to do it supply WM and DW from the same valve and from another valve (which will act as isolating valve) connect the outside tap.

I plan to use

and i feel i need 15mm pipe. All i am wondering is what drill to use to take the pipe outside

 

[seco services]

yes you can do it that way.
use the connector you said a 15mm x 3/4"
then if your using 15mm plastic or copper use a 18mm sds masonary drill about 450mm long to go through both walls..

 

[7omkin]

Thanks matey. Almost done.

Will 15 mm be ok for pressure and stuff or i need to upgrade.

 

[seco services]

15mm is fine. don't forget to use inserts with plastic pipe.
only trouble if you use plastic you won't get the bend out up to the tap you'll have to use an elbow but it will look ugly.

or use one of these through the wall.
