Capital repair of a bathroom or kitchen often involves a sink replacement. There are currently no problems with choosing this type of plumbing. Manufacturers offer a huge set of types, sizes and modifications of shells. If you do not know which one to choose a standard -shaped lacker. Large selection of plumbing in the UNI-SAN online store . But whatever look you choose, the installation method is the same for them. In addition, there is nothing particularly complicated in its installation and if all the instructions are accurately observed, it is quite possible to do this work yourself.
Most often, a new sink is installed on the place where the old one stood, for the simple reason that there is already ready -made tap and sewer wiring and it is only required to install the washbasin itself directly. Start installation with marking places of mounting. To do this, attach the sink to the wall and in the places of the fasteners for fasteners apply marking to the wall. It is better to do this work together – one holds, the other outlines. Next, you need to draw a line according to the stamps and attach a level to make sure that the installation line is even, otherwise there will be a skew and the sink will swing and sooner or later may fall. Holes are drilled in the places of markings and dowels are driven, and fasteners are screwed into them. Outside, the length of the bolt should remain such that there is more than the wall of the sink. Now go to the installation of the mixer, since installing it on an already attached sink is not too convenient.
The fastener and flexible hoses for connecting to water are screwed into the mixer. Between the mixer and the sink, the gasket is necessarily placed so that the water does not flow under it. In the opening on the sink site, hoses are turned and screwed with a nut from the bottom (you need to monitor at that moment to ensure that the nose of the mixer is directed strictly in the drain). Now you can fix the sink itself to the wall, putting it on the fasteners and securely fixing it with nuts. The next step in the work is the connection to the water supply and sewage. Flexible hoses of the mixer are screwed to pipes with cold and hot water and fixed. Then collect the drain siphon, following the instructions on its packaging. And using a bolt on the sink’s drain grill, connect the drain to the grille, and then we wrap the nut of the siphon on the sink drain (do not forget about the gasket). Now it is necessary to start the siphon drain pipe into the sewer and you can check the operation of the entire assembled structure, turning on the water. If nothing flows anywhere, then the work is done. If there is a leak, you need to check the places of all connections again and it is possible to make additional sealing.
