All I need to do is cut the pip and route it below the outlets and back up.



no no no no, thats wrong, you want the water to go up and out of the way and not down

its common to think water drips down hill, but you want it tucked up neatly out of the way so nothing ever hits it. if you mount it low anything that goes in that cabinet could hit and break the line sometime later in the future

ok, i wasnt going to assume anything after seeing your picture

that guy knows so little about plumbing its laughable, so i assumed he just shoved it through a hole in the wall where it might be able to spin after you cut it.

That metal you see above the outlets is my Coyote pellet smoker. Its just above the outlets and has very very little room behind it. I believe it would be safer running the pvc below for extra room. If I ran it above, it will be very close to my pellet smoker back plate. It may even touch.

Below, there is a drawer, which is how I removed to get in there, but there is at least a foot of space there once the drawer is closed. The drawer has a pan that goes in first then the drawer slides in there.


you can see it here. Once the pan is mounted back in there and the drawer is installed, nothing can get to that area. Its pretty concealed back there when everything is buttoned up. But going up would be way more difficult
