Hi, I have enjoyed reading numerous threads on this forum, learning a ton, and have decided to join to ask for opinions on a couple of things I am noodling.
The first - I have my kitchen gutted to the studs and am roughing water supply, dwv, and electrical for a completely new layout. From my new sink location, to the right is a 15" wide base cabinet, then the dishwasher, then the refrigerator, then a 24" cabinet, then the wall.
Since there is a cabinet in between the sink and the dishwasher, I plan to rough the hot water supply up from the basement, in the area behind the fridge (adjacent to diswasher, allowing supply to be fed to DW when I install it). I will also have a shutoff valve in the basement. I am assuming the shutoff in the basement and one behind the fridge is "accessible"
I will also have an icemaker shutoff box in the lower left area behind the refrigerator.
My question - would it make sense to rough in a washing machine box in that area, and use the cold for the icemaker and hot for the dishwasher? Since the appliances are adjacent causing the roughs to be in the same area, and the shutoffs are recessed. it makes sense to me.
But maybe you guys know something that I am not seeing.
Thank you
Jim
