tap fittings

Might be stating the obvious, but why not fit an outside tap?

 

It's not too hard, there are even kits which are designed to be as painless as possible. Google it to get an idea

 

Our host do a basic outside tap kit.

SoulRasta, you can do this...

Look into yer sink unit.

Identify the 15mm copper pipe wot's feeding the cold to your kitchen tap (or the same pipe as it heads to your washing machine).

Buy one of these: http://www.screwfix.com/p/self-cutting-tap-15mm-x/21250

Decide where best to fit it on that pipe where you have good access to it (the fitting itself can rotate so's the 'tap' part is where you want.

Fit it.

Screw a hose connector on t'end: http://www.screwfix.com/p/hozelock-brass-threaded-outdoor-tap-connector/95018

Every time you want to use yer 'ose, chust open your kitchen cupboard door.

 

A much better way than trying to fit a hose onto a tap spout - and getting teh kitchen wet everytime

 

SoulRasta, see your last photo - the one that shows the 'blue' W/M valve behind the black waste pipe? Well, anywhere on that copper pipe will do.

If you follow the pipe down from that 'blue' valve, it 'tees' into a horizontal copper pipe. That short straight bit to the right of that tee looks accessible enough?

Or, if you follow that pipe around, it bends - are there any sections on there you can get easy access to?

Seriously - fitting one of these 'self-cutting' valves is a doddle - and you'll feel chuffed you've done it.

Just turn off the mains stopcock first! (That baby in your 3rd photo.)

Trying to connect a hose on to a tap spout is sooooo last decade...

 

Here's a thought, If you dont want to do it how about getting in someone who does it for a living?
Think that there called plumbers, Im sure one of them could could just about manage it.

Sorry i know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but this thread is doing my head in

 

It's ok Dave, TFI Friday...although I've still got to work tomorrow

 

No worries.

You'll only get moaned at if you get the answers and then don't act on them .

Anyhoo, 'SoulRasta' is a cool name. So act it, man - do some plumbin'...
