How To Mount A Pedestal Sink

Mounting a pedestal sink is a relatively simple plumbing project that can be completed in a few hours. Here are the steps on how to do it:

1. Shut off the water supply. The first step is to shut off the water supply to the sink. This is typically done by turning off the valves under the sink. If there are no valves, you will need to turn off the main water supply to your home.

2. Remove the old sink. Once the water supply is turned off, you can remove the old sink. To do this, first remove the nuts that hold the sink to the countertop. Once the nuts are removed, you can lift the sink off of the countertop and set it aside.

3. Clean the countertop. Once the old sink is removed, you should clean the countertop. This will help to ensure that the new sink will fit properly.

4. Position the new sink. Once the countertop is clean, you can position the new sink. To do this, first place the pedestal on the floor. Then, lift the sink and place it on top of the pedestal. Make sure that the sink is level and that it is centered on the pedestal.

5. Secure the sink. Once the sink is positioned, you need to secure it. To do this, first tighten the nuts that hold the sink to the countertop. Then, tighten the nuts that hold the pedestal to the floor.

6. Connect the water supply. Once the sink is secured, you can connect the water supply. To do this, first attach the water supply lines to the sink. Then, turn on the water supply and check for leaks.

7. Install the drain. The final step is to install the drain. To do this, first insert the drain flange into the drain hole in the sink. Then, attach the drainpipe to the drain flange. Finally, tighten the nuts that hold the drainpipe in place.

Once the drain is installed, your new pedestal sink is ready to use.
