Had a new water main recently to replace a damaged lead one, due to underpinning this now comes up through the floor 25cm from the wall- right in the middle of the sink unit.
I can see 2 options;
1- drill a hole in the bottom of the sink unit, thread the pipe through and connect the stop cock so it's inside the unit.
2- connect the stop cock underneath the unit- just below floor level then turn it 90degrees so it can run behind the unit, then Put an access panel in the unit floor
2 is my preference for easier changing units in the future and to save having a pipe right in the middle of the unit but are there any restrictions on the stop cock being in this location?[/quote]
