HOW TO FIT AN OUTSIDE TAP - Plumbing Tips 

Hi are you using glue on the joints ??thanks

The replacement tap does not end up vertical but horizontal. What is the best way to rectify this?

Deploy the go outdoor cover

I'm not sure that would adhere to the by-laws.

You spoil your daughters too much... Mine get a glass of cold water to the face...

It's James - wrong disciple

Cheers mate!

It's changed since then the water is on grey elbow and not on the silver chain mail which I had to used flat soul to stop the water to connect the extension to the waterfall which I put at the curb aka put your mouth on the curb 😂

Yes, but he installed this under a window board!

+Craig Sanderson It can happen to any of us!

+plumberparts here's what happened I was all geared up to do my outside tap thinking it can't be that hard watched your vid and thought ah no blowtorch no solder non of that stuff you brushed on so looked into it seen the self cutting ones but I thought they looked poo, poor pressure and where does the bit of metal go? so I passed and got a guy in, £40 not bad I thought. when he'd finished "did you solder that?" "Naaaaa you can use pressure fittings" *Jaw dropped, eyes rolled are they as good as your way of doing it?

pretty much yh if they leak just tighten them

@@plumberparts Apart from U, right? RIGHT? Oh...

Ha! Thanks Caroline!

moodyjeep better money mate! The chase just wasn't paying the bills lol.

Well done mate!

Don't bother mate....... f..kn nightmare.

+Handyjack No worries mate!

So you work in B n Q bro. Cool story

A plumber who stacks shelves at B n Q......... Said no one ever. Hahahaha what a pipe. Mind the pun

🤣 I was thinking he looks familiar from some where but couldn't think.

yip thats gotta be him chip off the block...cash chaser..

He might do a better job

Brian C yeah he moon lights as a so called plumber after The Chase

That's fucking great, thanks for taking your time to let us know.

You'd have to drill a 24mm hole. that hole would almost hit the holes for the plugs. Possibly crack brick then not get good fixing. It doesn't need a sleeve. It Would be good practice to wrap with duct tape before fitting. stops the concrete or brick coroding copper.

Haha - I'm here watching this video, because while my taps (Put a hot water one too) ended up straight I had real aggro getting them straight and water tight prior to fitting. I figured I MUST have done it wrong - and apparently here's the answer! At least I know what to do if one starts weeping

Sounds like 0.0000001% chance of that

Yeah! I fell foul of that one when changing the outside tap! Thankfully, it was just the tap and nothing doing inside.

@masterp@1ne he did bud look under the check valve!😃👍

masterp@1ne @ 4:42, did you miss it? The big silver thing

How long is drill and what width 16mm?

Not allowed for new installations

Plumbing Weston College what is not allowed? Installing the valve inside? Or having the valve built in tap?

Hi I had a outside tap fitted but the plumber didn’t fit a double value on the inside. Will this cause me a problem in the winter. Thanks

Fit the check valve inside if the tap outside freezes the water will expand and ruin the check valve inside allways fit a tap with a check valve built in much easier to replace when things go wrong better still make sure the tap outside is insulated in the winter

Depending on what water board area your in some water boards want the check valve inside and some outside Weston college please not and don’t give your apprentices wrong information

+agathe massa Thanks! Please sub >> ru-vid.com

great vid' mate... Could I use push-fits instead?

You risk blowing out the brick on the other side. Even a small 5.5 or 6mm will potentially blow out a large amount of brick. Always, always outside in

He Ka Should be fine. Although you can buy special shrouds for valves like that one. PP!

Ok we'll look into it, Woof!

Rian Murray - its a bit hit and miss. I literally fitted x6 of them today for a building site. 2 were perfect, finished straight and tight as possible. The other four, identical, did not make that extra 1/2 or 1/4 turn. So had to remove, reapply tape then remember to not go that extra turn at the end. IMO they arent made right, you’d think they would be designed so that the thread is consistent and when fully tightened end up straight! If your really keen, there is a fibre washer that can make up the difference. I should prob try loctite more often lol - I broke the metal catch bit on my first ever new roll before I’d even used it! Dropped on the floor and it broke. So ever since I’ve just stuck to ptfe. Note - these particular fittings you can fit these tight and straight, then mark the holes so no issue. Normally they are fitted into a standard backplate.

The Captain why don’t you tighten the tap and then screw it to the wall after?

globalste - as noted, yes your right. If using the same backplate kit as shown in video. Otherwise a standard backplate you cant pre tighten it. You could in theory screw the plate on wonky but would look ridiculous.

I'd cry into my pillow at night! But in all honesty, you really want the pipes to be hard copper mate!
