Hello all,
I like the idea of an outside drain cock, I am in the process of putting one in.
The reason is we're having flash wooden floor laid and access to any pipes will soon be a distant memory. I've also had to move the stopcock but thats a different nightmare.
So after an hour of playing with my Makita I've eventually got through my engineers bricks....... put through a 22mm plastic pipe, inside which is a 15mm piece of copper with a drain cock (the good type).
My question is insulation.
The drain cock goes through an insulated wall and will of course be insulated under the floor board, do I need to insulate between the copper and the plastic tube with anything. There is practically no room and my theory is that it is not exposed to the elements. But I am a little paranoid!
