What is a Ourside Tpas
Outside taps, also known as outdoor faucets or hose bibs, are fixtures installed on the exterior of buildings to provide water access for various outdoor activities. They are commonly found in residential properties, gardens, and commercial buildings.
Here are some key points about outside taps
Purpose: Outside taps are primarily used for outdoor water-related tasks such as watering gardens, lawns, and plants, washing vehicles, filling pools or water containers, and other general outdoor cleaning activities.
Location: They are typically installed on the exterior walls of buildings, close to areas where water is needed. In residential properties, you can commonly find them in the backyard, front yard, or near garages.
Design: Outside taps are usually designed with a valve handle or lever that can be turned to control the flow of water. They often have a threaded spout or connector to attach a garden hose or other watering equipment.
Frost Protection: In regions with freezing temperatures, it's essential to install frost-free or freeze-proof outside taps. These taps have a longer valve stem that extends into the heated interior of the building, protecting the tap from freezing and bursting during cold weather.
Installation: Outside taps are typically connected to the main water supply of the building. They require a plumber or a skilled individual to install them correctly, ensuring proper connection and preventing leaks.
Shut-off Valve: There is usually a shut-off valve inside the building that controls the flow of water to the outside tap. This valve allows you to turn off the water supply to the outside tap during the winter or when it's not in use, preventing potential damage caused by freezing or accidental water wastage.
Maintenance: It's important to regularly inspect outside taps for leaks, drips, or damage. Ensure that the taps are properly closed and the seal is intact. If you notice any issues, it's advisable to address them promptly to avoid water wastage or potential water damage.
