Hello everyone,
attached is a sketch of the water supply from the cistern to a faucet mounted on the house wall. My question is whether anyone has an idea of how to make the whole thing frost-proof.
Problem 1: The first problem is that the water pipe leaves the frost-safe ground depth shortly before reaching the house wall and could possibly freeze.
Problem 2: The second problem is how to make the water outlet on the house wall frost-proof.
My idea: A frost-proof faucet that is not connected from the inside of the house wall but, for example, only 15 cm or 20 cm deep in the house wall. I would secure the water supply in the non-frost-safe area with a heating tape.
Does anyone have an idea or has possibly had a similar problem? Are there any control installations?
Thank you in advance.
