Project Highlights: Silver Cymbal V1+ Install in Massachusetts
Chris of Silver Cymbal YouTube channel installed an Aquor Water Systems V1+ for convenient outdoor water access on his Mattapoisett, Massachusetts property.
He added the sleek V1+ to his outdoor kitchen unit, connecting his new hose bib to the existing plumbing using PEX.
The outdoor kitchen is equipped with running water that Chris trenched from the house.

He selected the V1+ for its visual appeal and the fact that the faucet connector can be removed when not in use.

He started off by removing the back panel of his kitchen unit.

Chris drilled through the PVC, matching the entry hole size to the size of the Hydrant stem.
