Installation Tips
-
Clearances: Allow ≥21 inches from sink center to walls and ≥30 inches between fixtures.
-
Wall Support: Verify structural capacity for wall-mounted sinks.
-
Plumbing: Align drainpipes with sink type (center-set vs. widespread).
Depth & Overflow Considerations
Residential sinks typically have 5–8 inch depths—shallower for handwashing, deeper for hair washing. Overflow holes sit 1–2 inches below the rim.
Drain Standards
Standard drains are 1¼ inches (32 mm), though larger sinks may require 1½-inch (40 mm) drains. Choose between pop-up, flip-top, or traditional plug styles.
Selection Criteria
-
Measure available wall and clearance space.
-
Prioritize daily use needs (e.g., family vs. guest bath).
-
Standard mounting height: 32–34 inches from floor.
-
Account for existing plumbing configurations.
