Hello
I don't have an outdoor tap and was wondering is it possible to connect a pressure washer or garden hose to an indoor tap. Thanks

    Depends on what kind of tap you have indoors - but yes - there are a number of adaptors available.

    As above, but take care because IME the hose often slips off the tap and gives the kitchen a good wash

    If you do, I suggest draping a towel or similar over the connector to catch any unwanted squirts and run indoors immediately if the pressure drops at the end of the hose

    they can go onto an indoor tap but definitely more risk of leaking and soaking everything. I find outdoor tap v useful - any chance you could get one fitted?

    I've had a fairly flooded kitchen when the adaptor was forced off the kitchen tap with the pressure. Would not attempt it ever again!
