Complete newbie - help needed

[5MeoDmt]

hi forum,

Hope someone can help me here. I'm completely new to plumbing and I'm attempting to fix up a sink in the garage. The plan is to connect the sink in the garage up to the sink in the kitchen (currently plumbed in) which is only two feet away through a wall. Im hoping to find out:

A) If this idea will work
b) What the best tools equipment I will need to connect the pipes
C) How do I make a large hole in the wall to feed the pipes through?
D) Any other tips

I've taken some photo's of the job that should hopefully explain the situation better than I can -

The sink in the kitchen

kitchen Sink

Underneath kitchen sink - flexible connectors

how those connectors join onto the water supply from combi boiler


The Sink in the Garage

Garage sink

Mixer taps I will use

Underneath the mixer taps in the garage sink



I've drilled a small hole from the kitchen to the garage just to see how it lines up:

Nice job at cutting through the sink panel lol!


This job is probably an easy one to most of you here but I've never attempted plumbing before so I could do with an easy solution. I'm thinking plastic pipes etc rather than metal.

Any help/advice much appreciated!

for a diy job.
turn off mains, drain system (open all taps), when your sure no water in pipes, cut pipes, 1 at a time, install pushfit t, into branch install small peice of pipe and an isolator valve, pressurise old system whick should all be as normal, now run your plastic pipe to the new sink with plastic tap connectors from the isolating valves.
as for the waste, push fit pipe and a mcalpinte t under your existing sink

good luck

Thanks for the reply migoplumber.

So when you say 'cut the pipes' do you mean in the areas shown below?

And 'pushfit t' - is this something like this? :

Thanks!

thats correct but dont use scissors in your pic (only joking) make sure you use a pipe cutter, not a hack saw (unless you can get rid of all pipe burrs) because it can ruin the pushfit seal ring and allow enough pipe to push into the fitting.
if you use plastic 15/22mm pipe make sure you use pipe inserts.

as above,
make sure you leave enough of a copper stub to fit into your pushfit fitting.
good scissors!!

I need to remove a radiator and I cannot shut off the water entry to the radiator. The valve is a
Honeywell VT117E Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV)
or similar.
How do you shut it off please.
