Part of the renovation in the bathroom or in the kitchen, there is the installation of sinks and sinks.
Installing plumbing fixtures in the house is not particularly difficult. Therefore, the installation of the sink and sink can be done independently.Although sinks and sinks differ in functional application and materials (sinks in most cases are made of ceramics, faience, porcelain or glass, sinks are made of stainless steel, artificial stone), their design and installation are not much different.
Both of them are a plate, in the deepest part of which there is a drain hole and a shelf behind which there are water pipes. Pay attention to whether there are holes for a faucet on the shelf. This will determine how exactly the faucet will be attached to the wall or directly to the sink or sink.
Installation of a sink in built-in furniture without fail requires waterproofing along the rim in contact with the furniture.
In order to connect the sink or sink to the sewer system of the house, it comes with plastic or bronze outlets, which, in turn, are attached to the siphon. Siphons are not included in the kit and are designed to prevent unpleasant odors from entering the apartment from the sewer. Previously, siphons were made of cast iron, steel or nickel, modern siphons are mostly plastic.
If the siphon is metal, then it is connected using a special pipe with a diameter of 32 mm. Some models of siphons have special couplings and nuts in the kit for this. Recently, sinks have been installed in specially cut grooves in kitchen furniture. Therefore, many sinks may not have mounting holes that allow you to attach it to the wall. This problem can be circumvented by using a U-bracket made of sheet steel.
Connecting the faucet to water outlets is easiest to do if you use flexible hoses. In this case, you just need to connect one end of the hose to the faucet and the other to the water outlet.
