Hello,
We're replacing a section of drywall in the kitchen and cold water supply pipe comes out of this section. Usually it would be simple to just cut a small circle out of the drywall for the pipe but this one already has a vampire tap (i think that's what they are called) on it with the flexible icemaker supply tubing.
I'm thinking that if we remove that it might be a real pain to get reseated and leak free afterwards. Anyone played with this problem before? Unfortunately I don't really have the pipe available to just cut it, sweat a new cap on and retap it.
If its a pain to reseat we'll just slice a groove out of the drywall and patch it but if it's simple i'd just assume cut the circle out instead. What I don't want to do is remove it and find out it's impossible to reseat.
thoughts?
thanks ml
