I’m replacing the kitchen units and have just got round to the sink area.
The current installation is as shown in the photo below:
I have spoken with Severn Trent water and they’re happy to remove the meter temporarily whilst I refit the kitchen and then come back when I’ve finished to put the latest generation of meter in. (No problem from my side - the supply will not be interrupted and there’s no charge)
I can deal with the two vertical pipes in the background (hot & cold feeds to sink) and plan to drop the new unit onto the protruding stubs and plumb from there.
My question relates to the stop tap. Is there a a way (or type of in line
of extending where it comes through the base of the unit so it’s not tight up against it? It’s blue pipe coming out a concrete floor so no slack on it. If I disturb the existing joint to add in a stub of some sort is this the type that’s likely to be a nightmare to get to seal?
Or do I just leave well alone and put a suitably size hole in the base and admire the bodge.....
