Existing Kitchen & Layout Assessment
The existing sink, cabinetry, and plumbing connections are reviewed against the proposed kitchen layout. Fixture dimensions and appliance choices help identify which connections can remain and which need to move.
See how the plumbing adapts to a reimagined kitchen. Ten illustrated stages move from the existing layout and controlled removal to new water, drain, and vent connections, premium fixtures, and final operation checks.

The existing sink, cabinetry, and plumbing connections are reviewed against the proposed kitchen layout. Fixture dimensions and appliance choices help identify which connections can remain and which need to move.
Water supplies are isolated and the old sink is disconnected with the surrounding finishes protected. Unused supply and drain openings are closed while the remodel proceeds, and the removed fixture is supported safely.
Separate hot and cold branches are positioned for the new sink and faucet connections. The piping is secured to blocking and coordinated with the cabinet layout while the service wall is accessible.
The new drain inlet connects to an upright drain-and-vent fitting. Drainage continues downward while the vent rises through the wall beside the window, preserving a vent route for the relocated sink connection.
The rough installation remains exposed for the required tests and review. Water supplies, drain connections, vent routing, supports, insulation, and protection are coordinated before the remodeled wall is closed.
The new sink is aligned beneath the stone countertop and secured with its specified support system. The perimeter is sealed as required, with the basin supported independently of its water and drain connections.
The faucet connects to separate hot and cold shutoffs, with flexible connectors routed without sharp bends. A serviceable trap connects the basin to the prepared wall drain, leaving the cabinet connections accessible.
Where a disposer is selected, its mounting assembly is secured to the sink flange and its discharge connects to the drain arrangement. This installation-stage view shows one trap and a wall outlet positioned for the selected equipment.
The dishwasher discharge rises to a countertop air gap. A separate outlet hose descends to an approved sink drain branch; this example uses a tailpiece connection above the P-trap, without a disposer in that connection arrangement.
With the new fixtures connected, water flow, drainage, and accessible joints are checked under normal operation. Appliance checks and any remaining adjustments are completed before the required final inspection and project handover.
