Proper Plumbing Installation in the Kitchen and Bathroom: What You Need to Know

Plumbing is one of the most important systems in any home.
From your morning shower to washing dishes after dinner — everything depends on how well your water supply and drainage are installed.
Incorrect installation can lead to leaks, mold, or expensive repairs.

Ayucorp provides professional plumbing services in Alicante, ensuring each system is installed according to European standards and adapted to the local climate.

Why It’s Important to Hire a Professional Plumber

Plumbing installation requires more than connecting pipes.
It’s about understanding water pressure, temperature, materials, and safety.

A professional plumber:

• Selects the right pipe diameter to maintain constant water pressure;
• Ensures reliable sealing of joints and fittings;
• Prevents leaks, blockages, and corrosion;
• Designs the system for comfort and long-term durability.

Even a small mistake — such as an incorrect slope in a drainpipe — can cause water stagnation and unpleasant odors.

Bathroom Installation: Key Considerations

The bathroom is a high-humidity area, so waterproofing and sealing are critical.

1. Waterproofing

Apply waterproof membranes on the floor and lower walls (20–30 cm high).
This layer protects walls and neighboring rooms from leaks.

2. Plumbing Layout

Maintain the standard:

• Hot water — left side,
• Cold water — right side.
  Drainage pipes should have a slope of at least 3 cm per meter to prevent standing water.

3. Fittings and Sealants

Use brass fittings and PTFE (Teflon) tape for reliable sealing.
Silicone is applied only after full assembly to prevent hidden leaks.

4. Distance and Comfort

Ensure enough space between fixtures:

• 60 cm between sink and toilet,
• 70–90 cm clearance in front of the shower or bathtub.

Proper ergonomics ensure daily comfort.

Kitchen Plumbing: Practical Tips

In the kitchen, plumbing endures daily stress — washing dishes, operating dishwashers, and water filters.

Ayucorp recommends:

• Install shut-off valves for each appliance — to isolate them easily if needed.
• Use stainless steel braided hoses — they last longer and resist pressure.
• Choose siphons with water traps — to block unpleasant odors.
• Keep flexible hoses accessible for inspection or replacement.
• Maintain the sink height between 85–90 cm for convenience.
