Connecting the sink to the sewage system in all possible ways

Preparatory work with sink

1. Height of placement. The standard wash is placed at a distance of 85 cm from the floor. This height corresponds to the horizontal line on which the bathroom facilities are located. If the shell has a supporting leg or bedside table, the fixing height can not be set, since the foot itself will be that same determining height.
2. Marking of the fastening on the walls. Connecting the sink to the sewer system also requires marking the fasteners before installing them. In the marked places are placed fasteners for the wash bowl. To carry out the marking, the sink is fitted to the surface and the level is marked by its location. To simplify the work it is necessary to carry it out together. Thus, your assistant will keep the sink, and you will try to mark the places where it should be strengthened. The support leg or cabinet greatly simplifies fixing, since they act as a support during installation.

The process of installing fasteners. It occurs in several actions:

• Drilling holes in the wall by marking;
• Clogging of dowels;
• Screw the mounting studs.

As you know, for the installation of washing in the kitchen and the bathroom can not do without dowels and pins, plastic inserts, which are important in the installation, and therefore are supplied in the kit.

It is important to pay attention to the fact that during the screwing of the studs, the depth of the screwing must be such that it is enough to twist the fixing nut and hang the shell on them. So the protruding part of the hairpin should be 1.5 cm longer than the thickness of the shell, so that it is possible to tighten the nut normally.

Connection to the

water pipe The mixer is recommended to be installed before the washbasin is placed and connected to the wall, but it will not do any harm if you mount it directly on the attached sink.

For installation, the following order is defined:

1. The fixing pin is screwed into the mixer depending on the variety.
2. Pipes of hot and cold water are mounted on the sink, and after a minimum of effort, tighten them with a carabiner wrench so that they do not have to tighten them more tightly.
3. According to the connection scheme of the sink, hoses are used, through which water is supplied from the opening in the bowl.
4. The washer is fastened to the reverse side of the fastening studs, and then pressed with fixing nuts.
5. Use a wrench to tighten the fastening nuts.

The mixer spout should be at an angle of 90 ° to the wall and to the sink.

Assembly of the

sink The fastening process is as follows:

1. Place the sink with the mixer on the fastening bolts.
2. Place of plastic inserts.
3. Tightening the nuts.

If there is a support stand or bedside table, then they are installed in the first place, as a support.

Hot and cold water supply hoses

The nut and the valve must be secured with a gasket, but do not tighten the nut too tightly. Rubber gasket is used to prevent the possible leakage of water after it is switched on.

Easy connection of the sink to the sewer

If the water pipe is already connected, the next step is to connect the drain. The first thing to use is a siphon.

Siphons come in two forms: the letter S and the bottle form. If it has a special overflow protection hole, it means that the siphon requires an additional pipe for water overflow. For kitchens the most successful is the S-shaped form, because the bottle form leads to a rapid clogging of the sewage system.

In series, the entire installation process is as follows:

1. The siphon outlet should be placed in the sink and then attached to each other.
2. To the body of the siphon screw a rigid or corrugated pipe.
3. Prepared pipe is placed in the sewer hole. If the diameter of the outlet is greater than the pipe, a sealing rubber cuff can be used that will become an adapter between them and secure the communication.
4. All connections should be checked for leaks and breakage.

Important requirements before the start of operation

• Do not tighten all communications too much with a key, since such a connection of the sink to the sewer can damage the rubber gasket and break the seal.
• If a water leak was found between the cuff and the drain, it is necessary: ​​remove the cuff, dry the parts, then lubricate the cuff with a sealant and reconnect all the components together.
• If you connect a double sink, you should purchase a siphon specifically for two

pipes. Each owner can easily follow the proposed rules and quickly install a kitchen sink and a bathroom sink to the sewerage, running water and even attach it to the wall with your own efforts.
