For those of you that have plumbing going in/out and up/down walls, how did you affix the pipes inside wall, and what did you do to clean up the visual appeal where the pipes go in/out of wall? Did you use some sort of wall plate? Grommets? Please post pics. I be running 2x maybe 4x 3/4" or 1" pipes and several lines of R/O tubing through the walls. Need some ideas... TIA!
Plumbing, RO tubing and wiring through walls?

hi no pics advise though run ro tubing in pvc also condesation
I live in AZ, so I just ran the tubing through the walls. I used electrical tape and wrapped the lines about every 1.5 ft. So they are all 1 group.
I fed them through the walls using a old work 2 gang Low Voltage bracket.
Then I used a 2 gang blank cover plate.
I drilled it to mount RO bulkhead fittings

it ended up like this
The clear line is an air line that pulls fresh are from my attic for my skimmer. The big black thing on the right is my UV.
the upper plate is a network cable and the wire carries a 12v signal to a relay in the garage to turn on and off a mixing station pump.

There are a number of solutions but I believe something like this will be the simplest. They are available in a variety of sizes.

I know this is an old post, but maybe others that have done it can chime in also. Would you be worried about having a potential leak at the connections inside of the wall and not able to see it? I'm getting ready to run RO lines through some walls, and just trying to figure out the best and safest way to do it. Thanks

What is the white line for, and am I correct about the others red=waste, blue=rodi, black=saltwater?I live in AZ, so I just ran the tubing through the walls. I used electrical tape and wrapped the lines about every 1.5 ft. So they are all 1 group.
