Cos me and the Homebase guy couldn't come up with one.
Imagine a standard garden tap and imagine it somewhere fairly inacessible where I can't fill watering cans from it. I want to connect a hosepipe to it and then at the other end of the hosepipe put another tap (to comply with the hosepipe restrictions) to then fill watering cans from.
Basically I want to extend the tap without:
- making it permanent - it's not my tap, it's on an allotment. So whatever I do needs to be unscrewed at the end of the day.
Secondly, it's really inaccessible - I can get my hand through the gap in the fence to it to screw a hosepipe on it and that's it - I've already emailed the council about it 3 times.
Solutions Homebase guy tried:
- screw hoselock fittings to tap, have length of hose, fit over short length of copper pipe, then put new joiner and tap on.
It didn't work - length of copper pipe is 15mm and won't fit inside standard hose - also 15mm.
- Looked for Hoselock 'tap' fitting - they don't do a 'tap' - they do 'stop' things like sprayers but this does not comply with the hosepipe restrictions in my area as I can't fill a watering can from a hose even with a sprayer on it.
Has anyone any ideas???
