Plumber tips for your outdoor kitchen
When designing your outdoor kitchen, it’s important to consider the location of the services required in the kitchen area.
A plumber will be needed to run a cold water line and gas line to your alfresco area, if the services aren’t there already.
If hot water is a necessity, ask your plumber to install an under sink hot water unit. This can save costs of running a hot water line from your hot water unit.
By plumbing in natural gas to your kitchen area, you won’t ever run out of gas again when cooking on the outdoor stove top or built-in BBQ. However, LPG gas may be a more affordable option for your cooking appliances if a natural gas line is not connected to your property.
It’s also important to think about features of your kitchen which you will get the most use out of. Cold water may be more reached for than hot water. Think about how you will use your kitchen outside as this can assist with the design and budget of your space.
