Assembly of the sink by one's own hands - the general principle of operation
As one of the sanitary devices that ensure the reception of waste water and its discharge into the sewerage system, this equipment is installed, in most cases, after the laying of water pipes and a water drainage system. At the same time, for comfortable use, the height of the shell installation should not exceed eighty-five centimeters, but it is useless to mount it below eighty centimeters.
The same applies to appliances in the kitchen( sinks).The specified dimensions should be taken into account not only for the "hanging" models, but also adhere to them, by selecting kitchen cabinets for installing washbasins and other dishes for washing dishes.
Before installing the sink correctly, it is necessary to determine the location of its installation, the availability of a mixer or faucet connection, etc. You need to choose how to fix it. Installation can be made on brackets, on a pedestal, on a curbstone, a special shelf, etc.
In the most general case, it is necessary to measure the recommended height from the floor level, its values are indicated above, and strictly line the line with the marker. This will be the level of the top edge. Each such "washbasin" on the back side has a plane of abutment to the bearing wall. Measuring the width of this flat part, this size is deposited on the wall, down from the first line. It is important to check the horizontality of both lines by level.
The distance between the holes for the mounting brackets on the flat rear of the sanitary unit is then measured. It( distance) is laid on the top line drawn. Often for orientation you can use as a symmetry axis the neck of the drain pipe of the future "washstand".Leaving from the top of the line to a height equal to the distance from the upper edge to the center of the fixing hole, holes are drilled in the wall for the plug and plugs are installed.
The brackets are mounted on which the hanging sink will be installed. Special fasteners are used to fasten the fasteners for such "faience" from below. In the course of work, it is checked by the level of the horizon and, if necessary, is corrected. After installing and checking the reliability of the fastening, the rest of the equipment( mixer, siphon) is installed.
How to install a sink when it has a stand
Similarly, a sink with a pedestal can be installed, the video materials in the article show also such a setup with a semi pedestal. As can be clearly seen, in this case, the top of the working part can similarly be attached to the wall, and the pedestal gets the functions of decoration.
When mounting the washbasin on it, it makes sense to use special gaskets. It is important not to overdo it with the tightening of the fastening elements of the product to the wall and do not forget to put the polymer washers under the support washers, which, as a rule, go in the set of fasteners.
Before installing the sink tulip, you need to prepare a place of work and some tools: a drill, a fastener, a mixer and a siphon, a marker. Actually, the process will not differ much from the action described above. But there are nuances. Namely, before installation, using thin cushioning gaskets, it is necessary to put the sink on the foot of the base and push it close to the wall, at the fixing point.
With the level, set the horizontality of the adjoining part and mark the line on the wall with a marker on the wall at the top edge. You can check the horizontal line, it does not hurt. Then, drilling, fastening and installation of all strapping is carried out, as mentioned above. When installing the foot in place you need to use the same gaskets on which the preliminary marking was done.
They will serve as shock absorbers, providing support to the top on the foot and at the same time preventing mechanical contact of the materials of the receiving part and the support. The joint between the wall and the adjacent base can be sealed with silicone sealants.
How to properly install the sink in non-standard conditions for the location of the
For the premises of sanitary units of a small area, when the hostess has a burning desire to place a washing machine in it, installation of a washbasin in the bathtub over the washing machine can be carried out, with their hands this can be done using products with a side outlet.
Of course, this arrangement is used for front loading of laundry and a fairly compact size of the washing unit. It may be necessary to increase the height of the installation of sanitary equipment, being guided by the height of the machine. It is important to note that the use of standard designs with a central drain is not recommended.
As a rule, installing a sink in a kitchen with a curbstone can mean using overhead or embedded sinks. Recently, more and more popular is their device under the table top made of stone materials. Survive their "Renaissance" and hinged samples, especially in the exclusive design interiors of the kitchens. When using ready-made pedestals and overhead sinks, it is important to choose the dimensions and mounting method, which is much simpler than the methods discussed above.
It is more necessary to tinker with a sink. It is important to accurately withstand the dimensions. But a milling cutter or electric jigsaw will help to cope with the task. Only it will be necessary to remove the table top from the curbstone. After the preparation of the hole, its edges must be waterproofed( sealant, mastic), the same operations it is desirable to perform and after installation in the prepared hole.
And in this case, the mixer and siphon are installed, their connection to the pipes of the water supply and drainage. They carry visibility and informativity about how to install a sink, video on each of the types of these sanitary-technical devices considered above.
