Water and Drainage Installation

If you have a sink or ice maker installed, there are several ways you can provide water and drainage to your barbecue island.

A contractor can help you decide on the best solution for your needs. You are responsible for ensuring all plumbing and drainage complies with State and local codes.

Water Sources

Garden hose -- This is by far the easiest way of getting water to your barbecue island. You have two options:

• You can bring the hose through the front access door and attach it underneath the sink when you need it, or

• You can bury the length of the hose and bring it up beneath the barbecue island in the same manner as the gas and electrical stub-ups. Once you connect it to your sink, you won’t need to remove it.

½” cold water pipe -- Plumb a single ½” cold water pipe from your house plumbing to a stub-up beneath the sink.

Hot water plumbing -- You have many options for plumbing your sink for hot water, including tapping from your house’s hot water tank, installing a tankless point-of-use water heater, and installing a solar water heater. Consider several factors to find a solution that best addresses your needs, including your water consumption, electrical power supply, and drainage. A contractor can help you best with this.

Drainage

Five gallon bucket

-- Place a five gallon bucket beneath the sink drain. This solution has the advantage of being inexpensive and the least trouble to maintain for winterizing your barbecue island.

Drain to your garden -- if your yard is on a slope, you can take advantage of this feature by draining sink water to a place in your garden where you can re-use the water.

Gray water drain -- Installing a line to drain to your house’s gray water drainage may incur some cost and labor, but it may be your best solution if you plan to locate your barbecue island in its place permanently.
