I'm fitting a garden tap, and all going well but I am after some advice on the best way to connect to my cold feed.
I have a self-cutting tap (the one you get with those garden tap kits) which has a double check valve to stop the water entering the cold water pipe. I would normally just attach this somewhere after the first stop tap on the cold water pipe BUT there is not a lot of room AND I wondered if I could make use of the push fit connectors that are already in place that are connecting to my washing machine.
I have attached some photos and a diagram on how the cold water pipe is currently set up. I'm wondering if there's a push fit connector that would allow an extra pipe to be connected to the push fit connectors already there? If not, what would you advise? Can I use the self-cutting tap on the pipe that's after the push fit connectors and the flex that are connected to the tap?
Any advice would be appreciated.
