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 nd 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 ve 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.
