Space needed for pipes etc for wall mounted basin tap

mavala25

Hi Guys

Im getting a wall mounted set of taps to go over a wall mounted slab basin. This is for my bathroom.

Under the slab wall mounted sink I would like to place a floating shelf (for towels etc). Im getting this floating shelf made for me as a favour from someone.

I need to know where to tell the carpenter to put the holes that the fixings will go for the floating shelf.

So, to avoid piercing the water pipes that will serve the wall mounted taps, I would like it if you guys could advise me on the following:

The slab wall mounted sink is 600mm width. The floating shelf is 500mm.

The slab wall mounted sink and the floating shelf will start at the same point on the wall, so the slab wall mounted sink will overhang the floating shelf by 100mm on the right hand side.

The wall mounted taps im getting are these.

Sadly they don't come with instructions that advise how far to space things apart.


Based on he above any advice would be appreciated on where to drill holes on the shelf for the fixings to avoid the ipipes.

Many thanks.

I would be tempted to get the plumbing done firt and then get the floating shelf made. Then you will know exactly where the pipes re then.

but remember if it's a solid wall then you can only tile over them in a chase not bury them under plaster.
