Vanity Sink Units

The fitting of a vanity cabinet is a good option as it gives extra storage in the bathroom. With that in mind, make sure that you have a good accurate idea about just what your storage needs are, with size requirements/limitations, and also of course what you like the best. You could always get advice on selecting a vanity from a professional plumbing service like Hammersmith Plumbers.?The Cabinet:1). Make sure that the water supply lines will probably have caps soldered or glued, so cut them off once the vanity is set. 2). Measure the water and?drain line locations on the wall and transpose them to the back of the vanity and cut holes out for them.?Put the vanity over the lines and up against the wall. Check that the cabinet is sitting level/square and secure it in place.Vanity Sink:1). Follow the makers directions and connect the spout, water valves and handles on the sink, then, link the supply T and hose assembly to the spout.?Some sinks have braided steel lines that can be looped to the valves and fastened with coupling nuts.?2). Connect the water supply lines to the valves to avoid reaching up under the sink later, then, put plumber’s putty around the drain fitting to form a seal and seat the fitting in the drain hole. Add a washer and slip nut on the bottom and tighten the fitting. A Hammersmith Plumber can fit Vanity sinks.?3). Screw on the drain stopper coupling and its gasket so it is lines up with the rear of the sink. Feed the stopper’s slip arm through the sink?and connect it to the stopper coupling. Push the stopper fully open and tighten the arm down. 4). Turn the sink upright and set in the cabinet. Glue a threaded adapter coupling onto the drain stub. Fit the trap and screw it to the adapter and sink drain.?Tighten the sink water lines to their shut-off valves. 5). Slowly open up the water, check for leaks, then check the other line.?Fill the sink, check for leaks around the drain, then drain the water and check the waste line joints. This will also put water in the trap to stop sewer gases.?Put caulk around the rim of the sink to seal out water and to finish off the sink installation.
