An old lady wants an outside tap fitted.
Her kitchen is at the rear with the sink on the far wall, all good other than she has a conservatory on the back!
She has a shared alley on the left side as you look at the house
She wants the tap there.
In the far wall the sink & cold feed is in the centre, to the left is the has oven & hob & the a 600 unit then the wall.
My only thought is to route the cold feed under the hob & put the wall, I.e remove the plinths & go very low level the elbow up under sink to find cold feed, outside wall no problems as can just elbow up & fit tap etc.
Can it be done or as I think it's a headache,
The long run to alley wall is about 4m
Getting the 4m pipe under & out is the issue
I can't feed it through the alley side as its only 3' wide
Any thoughts please?
Thx
Rct

I'd use plastic and go under the plinths, drill through at low level and brink it up on the outside wall, If I'm reading it right  |

Plastic through wall into brass elbow then copper on outside?
How about plastic to copper connection on outside wall (elbow)?

I'd solder a copper elbow on 2 lenghts of copper, one long enought to go through the wall and join it to the plastic under the plinth, the other end up the wall outside,

Ok, I think I see.
Copper through wall, connect to plastic under plinth, then another connection to copper to connect to cold main under sink.
JG Speedfit couplers?

speedfit or hep20, I like hep20 better but its bloody dear, so i go for speedfit, The copper elbow outside solder it well out of the wall so you can see all round its soldered proper, then push it in and fix the back plate elbow, so when you'r back inside uinder the plinth you know its pointing where you want it,

Yep thx. That's great
I know we're in different towns but I was thinking £170
It's a bit more work than just going out the wall.

go with what you think is worth your while, I make a sheet foe every job I do, I staple the things i buy and write down the time i take and journey time plus any other expence and price accordingly, it also helps for quoting for similar jobs,

Will do
Seeing her next Tues.
Be a good job.
Just been on Williams site to price bits, about £25.
I take it that if the tap has a double check valve I don't need another separate one? Just an ballofix & connect the bugger up.

As long as the tap has a check valve that's fine rocky. |
