What stub-out means
A stub-out is the end of a supply or drain pipe left sticking out of a wall or floor at rough-in, capped, ready for the fixture to connect at finish.
Also called stub out.
Where it matters on a plumbing job
Stub-out height and spacing have to match the fixture you will install. Get fixture spec sheets before rough-in, or you will be opening walls at trim out.
