ᐅ Outdoor Water Connection from the Kitchen – Is It Possible?

Hello everyone,

We forgot to include the exterior water tap in the special features list.

Now we had the idea to simply use the water connection in the kitchen and branch off to the outside wall. My question is whether this is that simple?

The distance from the water connection to the outside wall is about max. 2.5 meters (8 feet 2 inches). So the route would be quite short. The wall itself consists of 12.5 cm (5 inches) calcium silicate brick + 22 cm (9 inches) insulation + plaster.

I was thinking of running a hose in the kitchen and installing a separate valve there so that the branch can be closed during winter.

I would be very grateful for any ideas.

These are called frost-proof fittings. I also added a pipe afterward from the bathroom to the outside at our place.

How much did the fun cost? With return flow or just one way?

Approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) of pipe from Viega plus pressing tool, drilling a hole through about 30cm (12 inches) of concrete, and 2 hours of labor plus Kemper frost proof valve.

280 euros plus VAT

In our case, the basement was still in the shell stage, so I only had to open a drywall partition.

Return flow? What for?

Hello

In theory, this is possible.
However, it will most likely fail due to the sizing of the supply line.

Do you mean that the supply line in the kitchen will be too small?
