I'm currently in the process of master bath remodel. I plan on installing wall mount faucets for the dual sinks. I need some suggestions or information for plumbing shut off valves prior to the rough in valve. What would be the best way to install valves or acess panel below the vanity for future repairs??
Any information or diagrams would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

you bring water lines into the vanity and install ball valves. come out of the ball valve and go back into the wall and mount drop ear elbows 8 inches apart.then stub out nipples and caps so you can test. after painting/tiling, remove the test nipples and install the faucet.

Wall stops in the cabinet with lines continuing up to the wall mount faucets.

Thanks, so copper stubbed out to ball valve then copper back into wall and then to rough in valve above?
Seems like a lot of 90 elbows. Anyone ever do a recessed access panel?

you can do that if you want. it is a vanity so the access panel can be inside the vanity. doesn't have to be pretty if it is in there.

Have you installed one? Does anyone have pictures? I'm surprised no one makes an installation kit or there aren't special shut off valves made for this application.

if you want to keep your hot and cold inside the wall then yours will looks something like this. except you will have shutoffs at a height that is inside the vanity behing an access panel.
the top terminates with drop ear 90's and nipples.
