Possible to install Outdoor Tap to rear of mid-terrace property?
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.29 PM
Is it possible to install an outdoor tap to the rear of a mid-terrace property whereby the current outdoor tap and kitchen pipework is to the front of the property? Water tank is in the loft, could that be used as a feed to the garden?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

You can have a tap there as long as you have a water feed which can be run to the rear of the house . So the main to the water tank is an option

Yes no problems to fit at rear of house jus make sure to use a tap with a non return valve inside or fit 1 to pipework.

you can fit an outside tap more or less anywhere as long as you can pipe it up to a water feed. However bare in mind exposed pipework should be lagged to stop it freezing in winter (it should be isolated in winter when not in use).
I would try and feed it from the mains rather then the tank personally.
it must also have a double check valve either built into the tap itself or on the pipework as per water regs to prevent back flow
