    Default supplying Granny flat with water from the garden tap for hot and cold?

    Hi,

    We have a fibro garage we are converting to a garage, the granny flat is about 30 metres from the house. There is one tap in the yard - I want to move that tap to the furtherest point of the granny flat where the bathroom will be - so its about 10mtres further from the house.

    Should this tap be moved through the roof? along the walls? the ground? - We are worried about water pressure and also mucking up the insulation to what will be a fibro granny flat with timber frame and batts, gyprock. The tap is stuck to a corner of existing garage so will ahve to either run through the new frame, the ground alongside or up into the ceiling which I might add will be gyprock.

    Any help would be great
    regards

    Which ever way is easiest. Without looking at what you want to do it's too hard to say.

    Default plumbing for pressure

    Hi wonderplumb - I know its hard online, i guess im just trying to work out if one way is preferable over another in terms of supplying the most water pressure to sink and shower mixers at the end of the line .

    As its just a timber frame right now its a clean slate, I thought maybe it might be abit tight in racked ceiling and slow pressure down, that along the ground outside might be better than inside wall/frame for future adaptions (if required) am i on the wrong track?
