How To Install A New Kitchen Sink

Many people are not very clear about the installation method of the kitchen sink. REBON, will tell you how to install the kitchen sink, hoping to bring you some help.

Install the kitchen sink. The first thing to do is to confirm the size of the sink we are buying. 
For the size of the kitchen sink, we confirm it through the following two aspects.

① On-site Measurement:

If we have purchased the sink, then we can measure the size of the sink ourselves. In fact, we only need to measure the length and width of the sink.
But everyone needs to pay attention to the fact that the edges on both sides must be measured when measuring.

 

② Confirm in Advance Before Ordering
If the sink in our home is not available, then you must confirm the size. We should confirm whether the size of the sink is suitable for the size of the countertop in our home. 

Ask the salesperson to provide the size of the sink we purchased and the specific installation method.

Because the current installation methods of sinks include undermount installation, drop-in installation. The specific size and hole size of each installation method must be clarified.

The second step in a kitchen sink installation is to cut holes in the countertop. Like many home renovations, the holes for the sink are opened on site. Of course, there is another way, which is to open the sink hole directly in the factory. For example, custom kitchen cabinets factory will have countertop holes in the factory.
Everyone must pay attention to the following two aspects.

① First, Confirm The Specific Installation Method of The Sink
In fact, it means whether the sink is installed in undermount, or drop-in.

In fact, my personal point of view is that at present, if the sink is drop-in, it is actually the best. Of course, this should be determined according to our own requirements. But it must be confirmed before opening the hole.

② Sink Hole

When the sink is opened, the size of the edge of the sink is generally measured, and then the edge is reserved to ensure that our sink can be embedded, and the surrounding sides can be placed directly on the countertop.
Confirm the opening size according to the installation method, and then draw the line on site, and then you can cut the hole.

The third step in to fix the sink. When we confirm the size of the kitchen countertop and open the holes, we will install the countertop on it, and then we can install our sink.

① the installation of the sink

At this time, we need to put the sink into the hole of the kitchen countertop. At this time, different fixing methods are adopted according to different installation methods. For example, the installation method of drop-in sink, we can directly put the sink into the hole of the countertop.
Either way, first we have to fix the sink in place as required. After it is fixed, the next step is to reinforce it accurately.

② Reinforcement of the sink

The reinforcement of the sink is very critical, and it needs to be confirmed according to our different installation positions. For example, a drop-in sink is generally just coated with glass glue on the periphery.
However, if you are installing an undermounted sink, you need to take certain reinforcement methods to prevent the sink from falling off.
Like many, a bracket is installed on the side of the sink to drag the sink up, or a fixing bracket is installed on the lower part of the countertop to fix the sink as a whole, so that our sink is fixed.

③ Connection of Pipe Fittings

The last step in the sink installation is the connection of the water pipe and drain pipe.

First of all, we need to connect to the water, when we connect to the water. Generally, it is connected to the angle valve through the hose that comes with the faucet. Here we need to pay attention to the connection method of the hot and cold water pipes. After the water connection is complete, we need to connect the sewer pipe.

The kitchen sewage is generally connected according to the drainage pipe fittings that come with the sink, and finally the drainage system can be connected to the drain pipe of our kitchen, so that the installation of the entire sink is completed.

For the installation of the kitchen sink, everyone must start preparing from the early stage, because it is not possible for us to buy a sink and install it directly, and this is also closely related to the size of the countertop we choose.
