Hi.
I would like to have an outside tap by my greenhouse a the bottom of the garden, around 30 meters from the current outside tap.
I have looked into how to have this done properly (i.e. burying the pipe 750mm deep etc.) and decided that I'm not prepared to pay the price. I would have to cut through pattern imprinted concrete to get from the outside tap to the lawn, plus the effort of digging the trench without a digger (no access).
Instead, I would like to run a length of good quality 3/4 hose around the perimeter of the garden to the green house, and connect it to an outside tap fitted to a stake in the ground. I'd like the supply side of this tap to have a male Hozelock connector fitted so that I can put the hose away in the winter (it won't be required over the winter).
I had envisioned using plastic rigid (ish) pipe coming from the supply side of the tap, running down the stake with an elbow at the bottom, and the male Hozelock fitted to the elbow.
I'm having trouble finding the right components. I can't find the right component to fit plastic pipe to the supply side of the tap, and the right component to allow me to fit a male Hozelock to the plastic pipe.
I'm not really sure why, but in my research of plastic pipe and connectors, I get a good feeling with the John Guest stuff, although I don't really care which brand I use. It'd be handy if I could buy all the components from the same suppler.
Would someone be able to help identify part numbers and suppliers for what I would need please? I have a Screwfix down the road, or any online supplier would do.
Thanks in advance!
I've spent all day looking at this! Please help before I go mad!
