Back Panel in Sink Unit

[leevis]

Hi
I am about to install the plumbing for my sink but the unit has a back panel, are these generally removed at installation or is there some fancy cutting needed?
I think its 800 wide so I am guessing I could take out a middle section.
Just not sure if I should just remove the whole thing

Good morning Lee, it depends on how big a gap you need, a photo might be a wise move here so we can advise better, usually they’re just cut with hole saws or spade bits.

The feeds are behind the panel so I need to access them

 

[CBW]

Is the unit already fitted then?

 

[leevis]

Yeah unit already in, worktop in and sink in. Just need to fit the tap and the waste but the back
panel is in the way

Again, I think a photo would be best, I found not sounds like the whole panel will need to come out.

I'll sort one, looks like the tap will be on the inside of the panel so in theory I just need to be able to bring the feeds through the back to the taps and then the waste
