1. 18mm masonry.
2. You don`t have to seal water pipe through wall.
3. Weatherproof mastic/sand & cement.
Make sure you place a non return valve on pipework before tap.

What did you contribute other than what had already been put forward, & while we are at it, may I ask your trade.. what do you do...?
Oh - did I not read your multiple posts properly? Did I miss the bit where you suggested a backplate combined with a copper tail?Bamber gaspipe said:
BTW, not sealing a water pipe where it enters an outside wall is asking for trouble, and therefore very poor advice.
You may.

and what is your trade...
A water pipe does not enter an outside wall... it exits
Why would I need to sleeve a waterpipe thru a wall?
You seem to making it a habit to answer questions with questions. 
No.Bamber gaspipe said:
Show you what? The Edit button? The Spell Check button? The error of your ways? Please be specific.
What has that got to do with anything?
As you wish - enters, exits, who gives a sh*t - the principle is the same, and you're either stupid or deliberately misunderstanding, but neither is important as long as mikeyboy2 understood me.
If you read the topic you'll see that mikeyboy2 asked what type of casing to use. I didn't say that you, or indeed anyone, needed to sleeve it, I simply answered his question (with an answer, not another question).

No - I'm ignoring your question; there's a difference.Bamber gaspipe said:
No.
You can threaten me all you like; it doesn't make on iota of a difference to anyone or anything.
I have the right, as a forum member, to post. You, along with everyone else, have the right to ignore my posts.
Once again, your pathetic attempt to insult me is empty of all substance and meaning.....are you frightened Mr. D.I.Y.er
Its fun being on the outside, but dont start making it to personel. well now a GOOD competent plumber would use a large drill bit 24mm sleeve the pipe in the same material as is passing through the wall seal the entry/exit with a suitable material,fit internal isolation,fit the bibcock in such a way that the pipe empties when isolated inside to prevent possible freezing and do not forget a non return valve after the internal isolation.hope this helps
