Can Connect a garden tap to the boiler cold water pipe ?

Question

Ive just bought a garden tap kit but my kitchen units are boxed in and i cant reach any pipes. The only pipes visible are the ones running to my boiler. Is it possible to attach the tap to the cold water pipe running to my boiler ? Would this cause any problems ?

Answer 1

yes you can  i would have some one who knows what they are doing do it as a flooded bacement is a bad thing

Answer 2

I have experince with that. If the check valve on the unit leaks back (even a little) that will cause the garden hose to fail (burst) resulting in a flood.
