RE: Outdoor tap kits
Surely did connect it to the right pipe. Right bit though? There is a huge-ass 15mm copper pipe under the kitchen sink that goes to the (hi. press. flow) cold kitchen sink tap. This is horizontal. Where it goes up to the tap, there is a T junction where the other branch goes to the washing machine (also nice and hi. press. flow). I put the self-tapper into the small 15mm copper going to the adaptor for the washing machine. (And yes, I tried it with the washing machine cold input turned off, too...) Maybe there is a little copper disc screwing things up. The kit said on it that it had a valve on it or some such that complied with "new back-siphonage regulations" if that`s the requirement mentioned to have an outside tap.
RE: Outdoor tap kits
I`ve just installed one of those today with the great big 16mm masonry bit, and I must say, the water pressure is p***-poor compared to the cold tap on the kitchen sink that I tapped with the self-tapping gizmo to attach it to. Did anyone happen to read *why* these self-tapping kits can result in low water pressure? Other than that, it was quite easy...
