Mounting the Gas Pipe Wall Shelf
Our shelf was designed to be centered between a window and the stove ventilation hood. The client specified the height and I constructed a simple 2×4 and pine support shelf to hold the shelf unit at the proper height while I leveled the shelf and marked the mounting holes in in the wall flange on the wall tiles.
Note – Under shelf lighting will be added later.
Tip: Mark the center of the wall space and the center of the shelf as reference marks. Also place a level on the pipes and ensure the vertical pipes are plumb prior to marking the holes.
Mark all of the holes with a marker and use a masonry bit in my drill and pre-drilled 16 mounting holes through my tiles. I used a 1/8” glass/ceramic bit to start all of the holes and then a ¼” bit to enlarge the holes. Use a larger drill bit than the shank of your fasteners to avoid cracking tiles.
