First time poster - go easy on me!
I'm replacing a vanity. The supply comes up through the floor and connects to T fittings. The horizontal outlet of each T runs to the shut off valve, then on to the faucet. The vertical outlet of the T extends another 18 inches or so upward and forms the air chamber inside the vanity. I'll have to cut the existing supply lines below the Ts in order to lift the old vanity out and drop the new one in.
I'm hoping I can simply connect new shut off valves to the 2 supply lines that I cut, and not have to sweat new T fittings and air chambers. Can I eliminate the air chamber? Space will be very tight in the new vanity, and replumbing it like the old plumbing would be difficult.
For what its worth, this bathroom is on the 2nd story of a tri-level home, and is the farthest faucet from the water main. Air chambers are present in the laundry room, which is on the lowest level and near the water main.
Any advice is appreciated!
