Designed for UK Outdoor Spaces
Outside water taps are a common feature across the UK, found in gardens, backyards, driveways, and allotments. They are typically installed near areas requiring frequent watering or cleaning, including lawns, flower beds, patios, and where vehicles are parked. Increasingly, hot water taps are also being added near outdoor kitchens or barbecue areas, enhancing utility and convenience.

Please Note: That although these products can help reduce the effects of cold weather, they cannot guarantee total protection. Use pipe insulation to protect taps and exposed pipes within the box for maximum protection. In extreme temperatures taps should be drained down and isolated. Always fit external taps with correct backflow protection and make sure they comply with the relevant regulations. If you have any doubts contact a qualified and competent installer.
