I need to make a hole near the corner of a kitchen worktop to bring
up a 12v power cable (with right-angled concentric plug) and aerial
lead for SWMBO's new 6" LCD TV (so she can watch TV while preparing
the dinner - yes, I know!). Making a hole is a last resort, having
eliminated all other possible routes - all of which would have left
a lot of exposed cables and hardware because the walls are tiled
with wallpaper above, and I can't disturb any of that.

In order to make this hole "acceptable", I would like to finish it
with a metal or plastic tube (ID in the region of 20-25mm) going
down through the worktop, with a chrome flange/bezel on the top.

Does anyone have any suggestions what I could use for this - I'm not
sure whether to go to a plumber's merchant or an electronics shop -
or indeed to a kitchen fitter?!

How about an end socket usually used for wardrobe rails and the like.
screw it to the work top and use a short length of the rail itself to
line the hole.

Interesting thought, thanks.

I really want a one piece tube and flange, though, with no screw holes in
the flange - I would glue it in with sealant, unless the tube had a thread
on the outside to take a nut underneath the worktop.
