Outdoor Kitchens
Be sure to install plumbing that can be drained in the fall, before the first freeze hits. It’s also important to have water shutoffs that are located inside the house. If your outdoor sink runs both hot and cold water (you may choose to run just cold water), the entire length of the pipe needs to be properly insulated. Additionally, all underground water lines must be installed below the frost line. And all plumbing materials must be suited for outdoor use.
