A hot water tap outside

[CalvinHobbes]

So went to see a self build on Sunday, they had 2 labradors and had opted to put in a hot tap outside to wash them. Plumber who installed it said he didn't know why more people didn't do it? 

Thoughts?

Yes we have had two taps for years 

Great also for mucky boots 

Simple to install

Yeah, I've put one alongside a cold feed in our back yard where there will be an outdoor sink. No need to bring muddy shoes or boots in to the house.

Yep we have a few going in around the property. 

 

Washing cars, washing very dirty hands, filling paddling pools, etc etc.... Its a simple but great addition.

My wife asked me to install a hot outside tap the other day.  Added it to the other jobs on the list - another hole to put in to my wall

We had one installed when we built. 

To date its main use has been to pre-heat the hose pipe to give flexibility before unravelling, and subsequently before winding up.  And to heat the Air intake pipe on the Insignia in minus 3 so I could change the MAF Sensor.

It's on my list of things to fit.

Quite a few ways to go about it. 

I'm going for an internal thermostatic mixer valve, so single warm tap on outside wall.

Consider the Frosti tap?
