Complete open-air kitchenette plumbing:
Over the years, alfresco kitchens have not only become more common but also more sophisticated. People realise how convenient they are and how pleasurable it is to entertain their guests in their airy location or just spending quality family time. When we say that the outdoor kitchen has gotten more sophisticated, we’re talking improvement from a simple adapted BBQ and a mini-fridge for drinks to full-blown kitchens that would not be out of place at high-end resorts or hotels.
We see things like:
– Built-in storing cupboards
– marble kitchen counters
– Serving tables
– drinks refrigerators
– foremost sinks and prep washbasins
– Dishwashers
– Wine coolers
– draft beer
– Ice-maker machines
– Stoves or ovens
– Pizza ovens
– Gas heaters
– fitted lighting and lamps
– Ceiling fans
– Coffee machines
Several of the mentioned machines and installations require a water connection, sewer connections, and gas lines from a plumber’s perspective. Additionally, the alfresco kitchen should have instant passage to the house for comfortable obtainability. A patio kitchen built without comfortable contact to pre-existing connections indicates that you’ll need to get added service lines installed, which in turn means a higher installation price.
The best situation would be to plan when building the house and have an alfresco kitchen combined into the planning stage. You can see that drains, gas lines and water outlets get established in advance of the landscaping stage. But if it’s too late, it doesn’t mean that an outdoor kitchen is impossible. Even if the initial house plan did not account for an alfresco kitchen, you still have the opportunity to add one by getting connections for clean tap water, gas heating, and drains installed outside for future use.
As such, everyone has different preferences and requirements, and so, many people have customised their kitchens to suit them. At Ace Plumbers, we can help you make your dream home; all you have to do is call us up.
So, you may be looking for more detail on exactly what is required. Now, when it comes to the part related to water facilities, you’ll need a water connection for the sink/s and a drain. You’ll need to install additional supply lines if you haven’t already catered for a supply pipe for outdoor use.
Setting up for an outdoor kitchen is a lot more technical than an indoor one because the kitchen components are left to the external elements’ mercy. The design needs to make it possible for it to survive extreme temperatures and changes in the weather. Skill and knowledge are required to block plumbing catastrophes like leakages, frozen water channels, and busted pipes, so it might be better to call in a professional.
Creating an open-air kitchen:
Now, hither are the elementary steps that go into setting up your outdoor kitchen:
-Extend a water channel connection from the building’s interior – including cut-off controls and sewer connections for the dirty water.
Work the water channel through the house wall and where the alfresco kitchen is supposed to go.
– lead the pipes under the bottom of the external sink’s cabinets.
– situate adapters to the sink. Specifically, male threads
– place PVC drainage pipelines and a washbasin duct adapter.
– join the sink-drain and the gutter.
– bore a dip to house a dry well at least 3 1/2 metre away from the house
– shovel a channel connecting the house and the well, directed away from the building.
– work another PVC sewer thread along the pipeline.
– establish the dry well, attaching the channel to the kitchen through an opening at the side.
