Brining pipe out through eaves and down side of house

[WaterTight]

15mm, for outside tap on wall.
Not done this before. Any tips? Warnings?
Or do I just lean into gap (very tight for space,) drill a hole and chuck a pipe through?



Thanks.

Can you not run it the conventional way..if its your only route will need to be well insulated with exterior insulation that will not break down in sunlight(not that we get a lot of that at the moment.)..regards Turnpin:yes:

Pretty much. Drill from outside 1st I would. The pull a couple of 45's about 100mm apart to make a 90 to poke through above joist and below roof. Also exterior lagging

The closed cell type like armaflex or similar

The grey foamy stuff is no good. Infact it's worse than no lagging.

Black armaflex (very dense, like rubber)

ive done plenty of these in copper over the years all ways a pig definately sounds like a job for a bit of hep to me even if you run in in copper and just use plastic to get up the narrow bit plastic without any joints is much less likely to split if it should freeze

Can't you run it inside and box it in, then through the wall?

Looks like a bungalow with a timber soffit so it will be easy.
Drill up through the soffit (if it is concrete drill at an angle the same as the roof). Bend a 30" tail on a length of pipe same angle as the roof and leave the end so you can get a spring inside the pipe.
Clip the pipe to the wall and fit your tap.
Go inside the loft with a 1/2" spring and bend the pipe down level with the joists then connect it to wherever you are connecting it to.
You will need to provide an easily accessible shut off inside the building so if you are planning to tee into the main at the tank you should drop it ina cupboard, valve it and rise again.
Personally i wouldn't lag it as it will be an eyesore.
Better to educate them to turn it off and drain the pipe in the winter.
They usually learn after they don't do it the first year and it costs them £50 for the re education.
