Welcome back to the channel on today’s video I’m gonna be installing one of the worlds most expensive and rarest outside taps but you can get on the market.

This outside garden tap must be some sort of collaboration with Mickey Mouse and I’m going to be installing it at my Nan‘s house who is a big Disney fan and as soon as I saw that this was available I had to buy it for her for her garden !

Never gonna have to alter the back plate that it fixes to as this tap is from America and is a three-quarter thread normally in the UK or outside taps or half inch so I’m gonna need to remove the old back plate and install a new one .

What I’m thinking of doing because there’s not a lot of pipe coming out of the fitting and we’re gonna need a little bit more is to desolder the elbow out of the wall and then fitting new one to take the new backplate.

Unfortunately for me, I just wanted to unsolder the stem out of the elbow and not the elbow completely which is what happened but as I use Yorkshire fittings, I’m able to heat the fitting up after cleaning and know that it’s got a good chance of soldering inside the wall without adding solder!

With the new fitting attached, I can put a new back plate over the top and mark the holes using the tracer chalk set spray tool. This tool is extremely good when marking holes, especially if there’s a lot of depth.

With the back plate holes drilled and plugged I can fix it back with some screws and some sealant inside the holes to make it more weatherproof.

To install the new Mickey Mouse outside up, I’ve decided to use PTFE tape as I don’t want to scratch and ruin it removing if I used something like liquid thread locker. In the UK we have to use about 20 wraps but because this thread is tapered, I was able to get away with only using 13.

I think this outside tap looks amazing. I really like the look of it and the hand placement on the years makes it good fun to turn on and off. I thought it would be good fun to get my Nan’s opinion on it and I’m really glad that she loves it.
