June 2, 20233 yr Morning all, Pic below shows the incoming mains supply into the utility Plant area is 2m ish to the left. Cupboards, sink etc will be installed under the window. I don't think I'm too bothered about concealing these bits of pipework as they'll be in or behind the cupboard. Would it be better to board, or skim this wall before proceeding with this bit of plumbing?
June 2, 20233 yr board and skim - MR plasterboard - and then install. Also give it all a coat of Super Leytex when there is nothing in there too as it is much nicer working with painted walls !!
June 2, 20233 yr @crispy_wafer just on your layout - and this may seem odd, but I wouldn’t tee everything off before you get to the UVC control set with the exception of the outside tap (which also needs an isolator along with a DCV) as you then won’t have balance issues on mixer taps etc.

But I do understand your point, so is it feasible to install a pressure reducing valve and take the sink and wash m/c from this to mitigate? Just trying to keep pipes to and fro to a minimum and as simple as possible...
