What if there is no hose bib connected to mains supply?


Now I know you're not serious.


I am sure in the area you live and work in you are absolutely correct -
this is silly, and that you may even have been in enough other areas to
have built a general rule for why you think this is silly however...

In some areas there are now code requirements that prohibit a hose bib
from being installed on new construction. I just reviewed the new code
for one community in Australia, it was in that code. I have looked at
codes for Morocco


Anustrailia, Morocco... you're not serious... they don't even have indoor
plumbing. I've been to Morocco, they relieve themselves directly into the
street... the raw effluence runs downhill to who knows where. And Morrocans
never heard of TP, and they go from birth to grave never having bathed
either.
