How to Update Laundry Room Plumbing
More in Remodeling
Step 1: Turn Off the Water and Remove the Faucet
Turn off the water and disconnect the unions to the old faucet.
Take the old faucet off of the sink bracket and unscrew the galvanized pipes from the copper.
Cut the pipes to size with reciprocating saw.
Step 2: Make Threads on the New Pipe
Use a pipe threader to make threads on the new 1/2" galvanized pipe.
Use a pipe-joint compound -- or Teflon tape -- to seal the threads, and screw the new pipes back into the copper pipes.
Step 3: Attach the T-Cuff Links
Add more joint compound to the bottom of the pipes and attach the T-cuff links.
Then attach the lower feed pipes and the new pipes to the faucet.
Step 4: Install the New Appliances
Screw in the new faucets for the washer.
Install the new appliances, and be sure to hire a professional to hook up the gas line for the dryer.
