Outside faucet question. I live in the lower unit of a 2-story duplex. The floor of my house is a reinforced 6-inch-thick concrete slab. The slab continues outside for another 6 feet which is my porch. My front wall is std 8-inch cinderblock covered by brick.
I need an external insulated faucet on my front porch for plants and such. I’m also hoping I can run a pressure washer from the faucet. The first photo is underneath my kitchen sink which is against the front wall. Water to the sink is through pvc pipes that were run down the center of the wall.
I thought the easiest approach would be to mount a “T” above the pvc coupling under the sink. One leg/flex-hose would continue up to the sink. The other leg would be a flex-hose through a small hole punched through the cinderblock and brick to the porch. Externally I’d mount the faucet to the brick. There is no mortgage/insurance concerns or building codes where I live.
I think @Frodo is our resident plumber but has anyone ever added an external faucet? Looking for ideas.
