Barny Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Hi. My architect positioned the water and electric coming into the plant room under the MVHR unit, which my groundsman has done as per the plan. Does anyone know how high a stop top needs to be or how much space do we need to leave below the MVHR unit? I don’t have a plumber on site yet to ask this and MVHR needs to know / tell MBC so they can agree the joists. i am assuming the electrician just go around the edge of the room so it an issue? many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Sounds like a plant room so I would board the wall out so fixings can go anywhere, stop tap best near the floor i guess then plumber has more flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barny Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 So the stop tap doesn’t need to be a minimum height off the floor? Is 12” enough clearance? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) I cannot recall any regulation on stop tap height, most stop taps in existing houses are under the sink just above floor height. I can find no regulation regarding height See https://www.nwl.co.uk/globalassets/customer-pdfs/developer-pdfs/guidance-note-06---pipes-entering-buildings-rev4-2020.pdf Edited July 9 by joe90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
