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?!


you could use a bass tube for a speaker housing, they are the right sort
of
hole size, but afaik only in black plastic, or what about a basin waste
fitting with the grill chopped out?


Take a look at the plastic fittings installed in the counters of post
offices where the electronic counter units are fed from under the counter. I
used to have a few spare kicking around until we moved house about three
years ago. Perhaps one of the offices which are closing might be a source.
