Hello chaps, When fitting a garden tap, is it absolutely necessary to sleeve the 15ml copper pipe that passes through the wall to the outside Also.....I've only got a DIY Bosch drill......if drilling a wall for 15ml pipe will I need a sds drill???

hi coppernob, if you a follower of rules and regs, yes, and if your like most no, the sleeve will stop the cement eating the copper pipe, it will also protect it from water in the cavity so it will last 20 years, give or take unsleeved, and forever sleeved, you do not need a sds drill if you go through the wall on a joint, that is to say the cement between the bricks, an ordinary drill will do that,

If it's a kit house and the pipe bursts in the cavity and not sleeved the damage could be costly by the time you notice it, sodden insulation, timber etc.

Yes they're a good backplate kit when using them it's best to keep your drilled hole a tight size to the 15mm pipe otherwise if you drill a hole to big you'll find that you will struggle drilling the holes to fit the backplate to the wall, so sleeving it wouldn't work well.

Thanks to one and all. Once again excellent advice. I never thought about going through the motor joint. And a tight fit (no sleeve) would make it easier to drill the wall plate. Cheers chaps

If it's a tight hole and no room for protection (ooer, missus ), I wrap some insulation tape around the pipe on the section that will pass through the brick. This will act as a bit of a barrier against the cement rotting it.
