Hiding water pipe in plaster

[Spinny]

Wondering what is achievable for relocating an outside tap by concealing the pipe run within the plaster line internally ?

 

The pipe would be running over a brick inner leaf then need to do a 90% turn and go out through the wall to the tap. It is the understairs loo, so I don't really want to make it smaller still by having the entire wall plastered an inch thick.

I guess it would be best for any such pipe to be run under the floor and then vertically up the wall.

Otherwise we are going to end up with a tap where we wanted to put the bin store.

You could chase it into the brickwork.

Don't hide the pipe? Paint to match background? Paint deliberately *not* to match background (as an adder, perhaps, if you like snakes).

Thought about condensation on the pipe?

Not ideal but entirely doable.

 

Just needs the chase to be deep / wide enough for it to be taped with pvc electrical tape and then the whole thing mummified in expanding foam to insulate it.

 

Soak the chase with water and allow to partially dry before applying the foam, as the moisture will help it cure a lot better with less honeycomb / voids.
