Got a question that only a tradesperson can answer? We have thousands of trades ready to answer any question you may have.
Ask your QuestionI want to connect my hot and cold outdoor taps to one hose for washing the car etc .
As they dont have an inbuilt non return valve cani just use a hoselock type non return valve on both taps , then connect to hose via a splitter/ y branch without any further plumbing.
Also are they required on both taps,
or should I have to replace both taps with built in valves?

"Yes any pipe work going outside should be protected by a non return valve"
Answered on 25th Mar 2021 - Member since Apr 2019 - report"Technically the outlets require a double check valve not a single check valve.
We would recommend you install a TMV inside your property to service an outside tap with built in double check valve.
The TMV will blend the hot and cold for you giving you a constant temperature at the tap."
