| 473705 | 2006-07-26 21:19:00 | You'll need a tradesman and maybe a building permit depending on the remodelling of the shop. www.consumerbuild.org.nz | PaulD (232) | ||

Is there existing waste pipes etc? Or will it require those as well. If its just the sink and not all the pipes then you can do it. IF it needs all the piepes too then you need a permit. Especially being a food place. |

| 473709 | 2006-07-27 07:45:00 | haha cool.. I'd like to try doing it either wrong or right... there are existing pipes, as there is a wash basin directly opposite on the other side of the wall where I wanna put in the sink, so it would just be a matter of cutting some holes in the wall and replacing the existing pipes to allow for another sink... | bizzack (7739) | ||
| 473710 | 2006-07-27 20:16:00 | Go for it, if you make a mistake the yellow pages will always save you. Go forth and indulge in the great Kiwi hobby of DIY. if for nothing else if give you a reason to go to Mitre 10 or Bunnings (long may it live) and wander around the facinating shelves :) | netchicken (4843) | ||
| 473711 | 2006-07-27 20:33:00 | Just drop another san-t into the existing horizontal grey line and make sure the roof vent is large enough . Don't tap into the vertical riser, as it will need a double san-t, which is not legal in most modern communities . Maybe NZ allows local vent valves under the sink . . . or not . |

| 473712 | 2006-07-28 00:21:00 | nah SJ, in NZ a hole in the ground where the drain should be is fine... Bunnings, here I come... again ( i was there yesterday exploring :D ) | bizzack (7739) | ||
| 473713 | 2006-07-28 03:34:00 | Hole in the floor? That's wasteful. In a comercial kitchen, a bucket underneath the sink should collect the drainings for further use. Where do you think stock comes from? :cool: | Graham L (2) | ||
