Hello,
We have been busy working in our garden for the past two weeks. Currently, we are installing our garden irrigation system with pop-up sprinklers, etc.
In this context, we also want to replace our existing outdoor water tap. At the moment, it is still connected to the house water supply. We now want to replace it with a tap connected to our garden pump.
What material would you recommend for the branch pipe, a T-joint, and two garden taps? Brass? And do I need a protective coating for this – the existing one is painted green, but I am not sure if that was for aesthetic reasons or if it served a functional purpose.
What diameter would you choose for the pipe running vertically from the 32mm (1 1/4 inch) HDPE pipe up to the T-joint? The same 32mm (1 1/4 inch) or thinner?
Thank you very much and best regards
Felix

Hello,
a brief update on the completion of the garden water tap project. It took a bit longer since the water tap was only a small part of the overall project. But now it’s finished, and the water flows through a 32mm (1 1/4 inch) pipe, via a PE fitting into a 1-inch brass T-piece, and two 1-inch water taps (one with a quick-connect hose coupling and the other with a standard outlet).
Thank you again for your help!
Best regards
