since this is to be installed on the inline pipe, is it waterproof for outside installation or do I need to drill a hole in the wall to access it?

Although I don't really know for certain, the unit doesn't appear to me to be waterproof.

It is not waterproof for outside installation. It should be installed on indoor part of pipe.

This is not a device you want to install outside.I installed it on the wall inside my garage. Basically I had to make a hole on the wall to get the leads to connect to the Eddy. It was handy to have an electric outlet near to the area where it was installed.

Unless you get to the existing plumbing and valve from the back (wall on the other side of the tiles), you will have to take out a few tiles around the existing valve to remove it and attach connectors that will connect to the two lines of this unit. I was able to do that and then I left the hole open since it gets covered by this unit

Ideal would be to install a power outlet in you attic right next to your pipe opening. Otherwise, install it on your wall, but make sure it is covered by ss pipe cover

It doesn't matter what you install it through, just make sure you secure it into a header or other solid material. You might need to consider an expandable nut or other type of anchor bolt instead of the screws it comes with. Mine has survived a NE Ohio winter with 8 inches of snow and ice on it.

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.

I use this screen as a security monitor. If you are not electrically inclined it should be professionally installed. It requires a transformer not included. When installed it looks good with its included frame. I do not know wheather it is water proof or not, but assum, of the electrical connections are protected from water, it will be.

Look at where your outside faucet is from your main water source. On the other side of the wall is your water pipe (can be made of any type of material). Cut a hole along the stud, because your water pipe will run along that. Make sure you cut a small square hole and use a flash light to look in it-if you see the pipe make the square larger-so you will be able to attach the wires. Than attach unit to drywall next to hole with screws.

The product screws into the wall, so as long as you have a drill bit to do the pilot hole, yes, you could use this outside, keeping in mind that the product is not designed to be, nor does it claim to be, watertight.

The directions say it must be installed with it lower on the outside of the wall hole than the inside of the hole. In that way any water that gets inside because of condensation or rain will run to the outside of the unit. Good luck. Mine has been running 2 years straight with no stopping. I love it.

I believe that only the inlet box can be exterior mounted. It does not appear the switch box is weatherproof.

I'm not sure. Had a custodian install mine ... and it actually ended up not being a flush mount .... there was a pipe we didn't anticipate ...

The mount has to attach to the water outlet because it is not a wall mount. Of course, you can buy a wall mount to install separately and attach the hose with shower head to your adapter/bypass and not use the included mount. Hope that helps.

It can be mounted outside but recommends somewhere somewhat shielded. I mounted mine on a cross beam above the spare tire so it's tucked away. It does have air vents so not sure how water tight it is. Easy install.

No you don't have to drill a hole on ours. There is a hole in the back at the top right under the lip. We keep ours outside and have it hooked to a timer. Fabulous fountain.

Ours is installed in an exposed but covered exterior entrance way where it gets wet from blowing rain and mist. It does not get rained on directly however. Appears to be fine.

Its recommended installation on copper piping. However the package says either plastic or copper. Others have reviewed installing on plastic just make sure u pre drill the hole with a slightly smaller drill bit than the punture pin. I also have plastic piping but went to copper near the water heater so I ended up installing mine there. Just to be safe. If u go ahead on the plastic there is rubber housing around the puncture pin area to help prevent leaks. Its really easy to install. If anything u can check utube for installation instructions but highly doubt u will need. Theres lots of step by step videos there.

If you mean outside, NO, it is not waterproof. I have mine mounted on the basement cement block wall that is dirt outside.
