The exception is if you have absolutely no experience in such work , and you are unsure of their abilities. Usually this work is done when the repair is coming to an end. Technology installation and connection as in the bathroom sink ( basin ) and the kitchen ( sink ) is identical , so we will not make a distinction between them in this article.

Preparing to Install

Determining the height of fixing a sink

Common shell that is not equipped with additional accessories , fixed at a height of 850 mm. At this level, draw a horizontal line, which corresponds to the level of the upper surface of the sanitary unit.

If there is a pedestal ( support leg ), or if the sink is mounted in the locker , secure shell height need not be determined – it will depend on the height of the legs or height tables.

Marks on the wall fixing points

Wiring diagram shell includes a number of markup before install fasteners. The connection ends bowl sink has mounting holes . With a sink to the wall and align it with the upper edge of a line marked on the wall , mark the position of places in which to perform the mounting holes in the wall. It is more convenient to carry out this work together.

In this case, one person holds the sink in the marked line and the other at the time the bottom marks the spot where it will be fixing. If there is a foot or reference case, the execution of the installation is simplified – sanitary unit is mounted on a support and mark out the attachment .

Installing a Vanity and Sink

Mounting fixtures

Mounting fixtures perform as follows:

Markings on the drilled holes in the wall .
Pegs hammered into them .
Screwed mounting studs .

Connecting the sink in the bathroom and the kitchen is to use expansion bolts , threaded bolts and nuts, plastic liners , which come complete with sink. When tightening the bolts should pay attention to the fact that the depth of screwing it possible to hang the sink and tighten the retaining nut that is protruding from the wall studs should be part of a length slightly greater than the thickness of shells plus 1.5 cm for tightening the nut.

Connecting to the water basin

installation mixer

In carrying out the connection sink in the kitchen or bathroom faucet installation can be done and is attached to the wall of the shell , however , it is recommended to carry out this work up front – before fixing the sink , so all the connections and fixtures are made from the bottom.

The mixer is installed in the following order:

The mixer is screwed fastening pin or two , depending on its variety.
Install hoses for hot and cold water , tighten them using the open-end wrench , tighten spend cautiously with moderate force , given the fact that the installation of faucet on the sink tighten them tighter fail.

Wiring diagram washing involves performing hoses , which will be supplied water through the holes in the sink.
Mounting studs on the back of the worn rubber seal , pressing plate and baits nuts .

    Fixing nuts are tightened using a wrench.

 

Securing the sink on the wall

After connecting to the water sink can be mounted :

Sink with mixer tap fortified put on the mounting studs screwed into the wall.
Insert the plastic liners .
    Tighten the nut.

Connecting the kitchen sink with a pedestal or base tables are beginning to install it on the supporting elements .

Connecting hoses for cold and hot water to the water supply system

Between the tap and the nut must be installed to seal the gasket. Thus Tighten the nut is not recommended. Rubber seal typically provides a good seal with the nut can be tightened after the test is performed , i.e. , after the inclusion of water. The leak at the connection nut must be tightened more tightly .

Connecting to the sink drain

Once the water supply is connected , it is necessary to carry out the connection to the sink drain. Begin this work with a set siphon. It is recognized that the presence of a special opening for overflow protection , suggests that a siphon off more pipes for water overflow . The shape of the siphon is made as S- shaped , and a bottle-shaped .

Connecting to the sewer cleaning is carried out as follows:

In the sink outlet siphon inserted and fixed it.
To fasten siphon tube ( either with a rigid angle, or corrugated ) .

Screwed pipe is inserted into the sewer issue . In the case where the diameter of output significantly exceeds the diameter of the pipe coming from the siphon , it is necessary to use an adapter , which is called sealing cuff ( made ​​of rubber) , and well seal the tube.
Next, you need to check all connections for leaks .

important Notices

The comments are worth considering before starting work :

To connect the kitchen sink to the sewer system is not recommended Tighten all connections with the key , as this may damage the seals of rubber and waste the time and effort.

When you check the density of connections between the cuff and a drainage pipe water trickling stream , you have to remove the cuff , wipe surfaces that are to be joined , and then lubricate dry sealant cuff and make the connection again .
When connecting a double sink to use a special trap with access to the two pipes .
