Hello!
I'm helping a couple with renovating their kitchen. The house is a Smålandsvilla and is about 10 years old.
What I'm helping them with is the electrical part (I'm an electrician). Now I have a dilemma. The kitchen and the laundry room (where the central unit is located) are only separated by a door, and I need to run a new circuit for the oven. But to be able to run electricity from the central unit, I have to drill straight through the thick central wall that the Smålandsvilla consists of (where the different modules are joined together). It's a distance of about 90 cm. If I manage to drill from the wall where the tall cabinet will be through the wall and into the central unit, everything will be fine, but I'm worried about two things.
1) The distance, maybe difficult to find a drill that can handle that distance
2) Risk of drafts/moisture etc., since I'm drilling straight through this wall.
I intend to run a VP pipe through the drilled hole and seal it with some form of sealing compound.
Kind regards,
Steve

Hello!
I haven't looked into this, but if there's no pipe down, it probably won't work, as it's over a meter down from the central unit to the floor. The central unit is a modern recessed standard central. The simplest solution, I believe, is to drill from the side, from the kitchen through the partition wall and into the central unit. The question is how long the drills actually are... and if there is anything to watch out for in that partition wall....

Reviving an old thread. How did the drilling go? Did you have any drawing where you could see how water/electric heating was routed in that wall?
