I wanted to put a sill cock on our south wall and there was already a 2" hole right where I wanted to put it. I had already done enough plumbing for one week and this involved sweating pipes together next to a wall and behind a bunch of furnace pipes. So I called "the guy."
The hole is 2" and the mounting holes on the sill cock are 2 1/4 inches apart, so that was a problem. He was scratching his head and talking about putting up a piece of wood when I suggested drilling and taping some holes in a 1" floor flange, mounting the flange on the wall, running the sill cock through the hole in the floor flange, and bolting the faucet to the flange. He said it sounds good but I'm a little short of drilling and taping tools. I told him I'd take care of that. I drilled mounting holes closer to the edge of the flange to get as much meat between the Tapcon holes and the center hole as possible.
When we were all finished the asked if he could call me if he runs into this again.
I guess in that case
I would be "the Guy."
