Question

How can I defrost an outside tap with out doing damage

Matthew · Accepted Answer

Safest way is either warm running water on it  or a hairdryer

Luke · Answer

first turn off the water supply to it, then use gentle, indirect heat like a hairdryer, hot water bottles, or towels soaked in warm (not boiling) water, starting from the inside pipe and working outwards to melt the ice safely, then slowly turn the water back on and check for leaks.

Paul · Answer

Heat your kettle up to sixty degrees and pour the warm water over it

Matthew · Answer

Hot water or a heat gun/hair dryer, just consider that with the temperatures been as they're it will freeze again

Hi best way to defrost your outside is to boil water in kettle and pour hot water over the tap a few times with the tap open and invest in insulated cover for your outside tap

Connor · Answer

Best option is to isolate the outside tap if it’s expected to freeze. However gently heating the pipework will work.
