Outside Tap Installation — your questions answered
- How long does fitting an outside tap take?
- A straightforward install off an existing kitchen or utility cold pipe takes around one to two hours, including drilling through the wall and pressure testing.
- Do I need a plumber to fit an outside tap?
- Legally you can fit one yourself, but water regulations require a double check valve to stop garden water siphoning back into your drinking supply. A plumber fitting it to a fixed price is the safest route.
- Will I need to drain the system?
- Usually not. The tap is teed off an existing cold pipe and the plumber fits an isolation valve, so only a short section is drained.
- Can an outside tap be fitted anywhere?
- It needs a reasonable route to a cold supply, so the most common positions are on the wall behind the kitchen sink, utility room or downstairs WC.
