Hello DIY enthusiasts,

I moved into a house last November. Unfortunately, quite a few things went wrong, including the fact that the developer went bankrupt and left some trades unfinished. I am now gradually working on fixing and completing several things.

Among other tasks, I still need to install two outdoor water taps. The plumbing company left the setup as shown in my two pictures.

Thank you in advance.

Good luck, Michael

Okay, I was able to find out that the installed wall section is not from Schell.

The pipe installed in my setup (with Missel insulation) has a different thread pattern than the one from Schell. I just checked this at the hardware store. :-\

What other system could the plumber have used? 🙁

Elsewhere, I unscrewed the black plastic cap, and the spindle appeared. Unfortunately, I can’t remove it to take a picture. 🙁
