I want to put a tap in my internal garage. The en suite is directly above the garage and I was wondering if I could take a feed off of the cold water tap which runs under the floorboards. |

i'm not a plumber but i got a feed of the cloakroom toilet/sink cold feed to supply my washing machine in the garage which is adjacent to the cloakroom so your idea sounds like a plan.... ... - .- -.

I did think about the downstairs toilet as it backs onto the garage. I thought the fall from upstairs might assist with pressure though. |

It doesn't matter, the fall won't make a difference as the outlet tap you are fitting is where it is regardless so it's the fall from the header to there. If the downstairs wc is easiest then do that. Do you actually have a header tank for cold water in the loft, if not then all you cold water feeds will be mains pressure in any case so it will be irrelevant.

Yes, there is a header tank in the loft. I could take a feed off that I suppose? |

Just take a feed from the most convenient place.

People watching so much porn on the internet is giving them an unhealthy and unrealistic expectation of how quickly they can get a plumber. letters not necessarily in the right order |

if you have a header then all your cold taps will be gravity fed apart from the kitchen tap probably. So just take the feed from the WC if that is the easiest. |

I put a tap in my garage and also a couple in the garden. I made sure there was a valve to turn it all off and that it can be drained completely, otherwise you may get frozen pipes. |
