If I am drilling a hole in the wall for a feed to an outside tap, then should I be angling it downwards slightly as it runs from inside (higher) to outside (lower), so that it could be drained out to stop freezing in winter ?

 

(I have seen these Aquor home hydrant things which look good but they don't do one long enough for a 300mm wall with another 50mm of cladding https://www.aquorwatersystems.com/products/house-hydrant-v2-plus?srsltid=AfmBOoqHW00B92NDZHySy1ad2tzrfjrpZWj39xEvAQj6c5kSpvBN-Cse&variant=42444365955322)

That’s a dear outside tap. 
 

I fitted one of these to our retaining wall piped from the garage rather than attached to the house. Bit more industrial looking especially given the 32mm MDPE is just clipped to the wall rather than the clean look you’re going for. I might eventually box it in but probably won’t. It’s frost resistant but I don’t trust any of them even the ones that claim to be frost proof so I shut the water off to it in the winter.
