Hi I've purchased a Kaboodle kitchen and getting ready for the first step of removing the old kitchen. I understand I need to get a plumber in for the new tap installation but can I isolate & disconnect the old one for the old kitchen removal, if so, how?
Hi @Beebob,
Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.
Unfortunately, I do not have an advisable D.I.Y. method for you to isolate your water supply besides turning it off at the water meter, which wouldn't allow water to any of your other outlets.
As your water supply is connected to both the mains water and your hot water system, which are costly repairs if something goes wrong, I'd advise you to leave the whole job to the plumber.
Is there a reason you are looking to isolate the kitchen taps?
Is this because you are looking to remove the cabinetry around them?
There may be ways of leaving the kitchen taps in place, while still allowing you to remove stuff around them.
If you have some photos of the area, I'd be more than happy to offer some advice.
Let me know if you need a hand uploading images.
