Is it possible to run an Outside tap off the bathroom taps?

BaileyB

I already have an outside tap off the main water mains but my greenhouse is around the back of the house and the bathroom wall is right by it (downstairs bathroom).

Would it be possible to put an outside tap off the cold water in the bathroom?

And will it effect the pressure too much? Also any tips of putting one in?

it depends if the cold feed for the bathroom is off your mains or off the loft tank.

If the supply is off the mains then you will be ok.
Just tee into the pipe, fit a isolation valve, doulble check non return valve,pipe, backplate and hose union tap.

Great answer but given the quality of the original question you may need an idiots guide!

I've got an outside hot tap, so I guess you can do just about anything.

I should add, that the tap is all part of an extension that recently got a final building regs certificate; before I get shouted at for having something dodgy.
