We just had a plumber run a dryer gas line for our new laundry room.
2 questions about the placement of the hookup:
- The hookup runs vertically up the back wall and is about 40" tall. I would have thought the hookup should be down low since that is where the connection with the dryer is and am concerned that this will now look ugly. The plumber, however, claims that it is important to have the hookup at an accessible height so that you can shut off the gas. What is best practice here?
- The hookup actually terminates behind the washing machine rather than the dryer because the plumber cut the pipes short by mistake. Is this a problem that is worth redoing so that the hookup is behind the dryer?
Thanks, Jeff
