: : The water supply lines (hot and cold) to my kitchen sink are installed out of the floor and into the cabinet : : underneath the sink. Each pipe comes up out of the floor and feeds into a "T" fitting. The horizintal outlet : : from the "T" feeds into the shutoff valve, out of which a flexible line goes to the faucet. The vertical outlet : This stub out is a watter hammer gizmo to reduce rattling of the pipes and what not when you turn the water off, it acts as a cushion of air to reduce water friction. : : from the "T" is stubbed straight up about 12" and capped. Is there a special reason for this stub or is It can be shortened. If you need to make it even smaller, you can install hammer arrestors on the horizontal. They come with a piston inside and can be mounted in any direction. Terry |
