The furnishings in the bathroom should be stylish, combined with common interior premises. Each element must provide convenience, comfort, this refers to the washbasin. This element is the main one, so it is necessary to approach its arrangement. Installing the shell with a table in the bathroom does not take too much time, and it looks like this item is very attractive. In addition, now there is a huge variety of color Tumb, size, style, which will be perfectly fit into the design of the room and are suitable for any room dimensions.

A washbasin with a table is selected, now you need to choose a suitable place in the bathroom under its installation. Be sure to take into account the size, the product should fit exactly in its place. It would be nice to put it near the bath, it will provide usability.

Better zone for installing Tumb Select before working on the layout of communications, pipes.

• measurements are made bathroom room, divided into sections;
• consider where the location of the bathroom, shower, sinks should be;
• be sure to take into account the presence of the shelves, retractable boxes. They can become an obstacle to pipe and fittings to connect water to the mixer. It is better to provide this option earlier, shift the shelves so that they do not interfere with plumbing devices. Perhaps you need to cut it a little, but do it carefully, do not damage the furniture design, do not spoil its appearance;
• in cases where the sewage system comes out of the floor covering, and in this zone it is planned to install a tube, then in this case everything is simple. In order for the product to fit into place, did not break the sewage elements, it is necessary to cut it. Be sure after trimming the bottom, the edges are processed by a protective basis.

How to install

Torm washbasin is selected, the place is prepared, proceed to the installation itself. Usually this element of furniture is sold together with the necessary fasteners, connecting elements, and sometimes in the kit go required tools For assembly, installation. The presence of a scheme or installation instructions. But the scheme or instruction is unlikely to take advantage, usually the design is so simple that it can be installed on its own. And if you do not need to cut, to maintain under the plug, communication, then it takes a maximum of 1-2 hours.

Pay attention to the quality of fittings

Mixer installation rules

Before starting the installation of Tumb, you should put a mixer and siphon:

• instructions should be applied to the mixer with the installation scheme, with which this process will become much easier. The kit should go - several studs, two washers (rubber and moon-shaped), round gasket for the bottom;
• to the mixer you need to fasten two hoses for hot and cold water. It is necessary to approach the choice of hoses, it is particularly carefully, the hoses of rubber have low strength and are often torn and proceed. Optimal option There will be products made of metal-plastic material. It is not necessary to twist too much, otherwise the gaskets will hurt, and the connection will be reduced;

Connect hot and cold water

• in small holes from the bottom of the mixer, studs are fixed;
• we install the gasket and insert the mixer into the hole in the sink. And on the bottom side, it is necessary to put a moon-like washer on the studs, it is placed on top of rubber;
• washers are fixed with nuts. The nuts are mounted on the studs and thoroughly twist so that the mixer stably stood on the sink. Some mixers for greater reliability from the bottom are fixed by a large nut;
• after that, proceed to the installation of the siphon. First of all, check all the details of the siphon, perhaps they have burrs. If they are, they should be neatly cut. Otherwise, after installation, the joints are formed in places of connection, through which there will be unpleasant odors in the future;

Connecting the siphon to the drain hole

• on the drain hole, we put the lining with holes, insert a long screw into the center;
• under the drain hole put the nozzle of the receiving type with the rubber material seal;
• the lining and nozzle should be copped with a screw. The screw is tightened as stronger as possible so that the pipe lay down to the sink is tight enough;
• the remaining part is going after assembling Tumb, the installation of the shell. On the nozzle should be put on a bidding nut with a conical gasket. Spin the upper part, fix the cover from the siphon.

Install the sink with a table in the bathroom on its own easily, if you listen to some recommendations:

• first of all, proceed to assembling Tumb. Usually, instructions should be attached to them to relieve work, but it is unlikely to come in handy. This process is quite simple. The main thing, you need to make sure that screws, the fasteners are firmly fixed. After installing the bedside table, it will be hard to implement;

Scheme of assembly of a washbasin

• as a cabinet will be collected, proceed to the arrangement of the shell. She in his own way, the functions are no different from those sold separately, just a washbasin is made under the size of the bedside tables and is used for its configuration;
• we connect the siphon to the plum;

Siphon is installed by screwing it to the drain hole of the washbasin

• we put the sink with a mixer already installed on it. Usually, metal corners are used to fasten these elements;
• making the washbasin and the tumbar closer to the place where these items are planned;

Siphon siphin and mixer put on the end and move to the wall

• on the wall surface, the bolts should already be placed on which the washbasin should be fixed. Marking is done alone. For greater accuracy, it is better to bring a washbasin to the wall, accurately measure points. With the help of roulette, it will not all be able to achieve the desired accuracy;

Marking on the wall under the future end

• washbasin with a table Take back and on the placed points we do drilling;
• after the holes are made, they should insert bolts that are included with the product. Be sure to buy a product, check the presence of these elements, sometimes sellers simply forget to put them. And in order not to buy them separately, see their presence;
• now you need to install the sink and the cabinet to place, screw all the bolts;
• check how it is a sink and a cabinet. If everything is stable, not risen, the product is tight to the surface of the wall, then everything is done correctly;

The process of installing the cabinets under the sink

• at the end we connect the sewer. Mixer hoses need to be connected to pipes with cold and hot water. The connection of the hoses is performed by a cape nut and gasket from the rubber base;
• next, we seal the holes, connections. Sealing should be done necessarily, it will help to avoid unexpected leaks;
• at the end, the siphon is connected to the sewer pipe. In order to sealed all sorts of holes, you need to use a special rubber gasket or corrugated cuff;

Installation of the sink on the Tumba - the final stage of the work

• it is important before starting to use the washbasin, it is better to check it on the flows, if there is no, then you can safely begin to use it.

What to do in the absence of holes for fastening

Sometimes there may be no holes for mounting to the wall. Basically, this problem is often found in Tomb Turkish production. Some consumers believe that this product is fixed to the wall in the bathroom is quite difficult and trying not to acquire designs.

And what to do when the product has already been bought? Many people think that you can refuse, and return the seller. Yes, of course, this can be done, but not always. The product may not accept, will find a lot of reasons. And if it is damaged and there are defects on it, it will not be immediately taken back. If, of course, you want to spend time, nerves, then you can try. As a result, it may be replaced by a hole with holes. And if it does not work, you can try to put the design without holes.

It can be supplied using a simple way:

• as an attachment instead of bolts, the usual silicone is used;
• due to the fact that the design relies on the end, it will be firmly held on silicone mixture;
• it is important that the wall surface is strong, and its coating was made of high-quality tiles;
• in this case, you do not need to drill the surface of the walls, leaving them in strength and good condition. And the appearance of the design will remain in perfect condition.

Silicone Sink Fastening

Installing the cabinet with silicone is suitable for those who do not want to spoil their coverage of the walls of the bathroom, especially if it has low strength. In addition, this method of installation proceeds much faster than with bolts and drilling.

Installation of a washbasin with a bedside table - this is a simple process that does not require much work and knowledge. Everything can be done independently, without resorting to the help of professionals. The main thing is to choose a suitable design and correctly calculate the place under its installation. With this approach, you can get a comfortable, stylish, functional room.

Depending on which modification will be selected, the installation of the sink in the bathroom or in the kitchen involves the appropriate list of activities. After all, most of the modern manufacturers of sanitary equipment recommend the choice of a huge range of cup-tug-haulars for both bathroom and kitchen. With incorrectly completed design, the repair may suffer not only in your apartment, but also from the neighbors living under you.

Before installing the sink in the bathroom, it is necessary to determine:

• what is the practicality of the material used to create a washbasin;
• what shade of the washbasin will become the most relevant in the shower room;
• what a fastening for the sink in the bathroom is most comfortable and ergonomically.

Types of bathroom washbasins by fitting method

The installation of the shell in the bathroom with their own hands implies primarily an understanding of the instructional moments concerning this sanitary equipment, in particular the methods of its fixation.

So, today distinguish the following types of fasteners of bowls in the bathroom or soul:

Other significant parts that are important to consider when buying bath shells

Before putting the sink in the bathroom, it is necessary to clearly understand what kind of variation of the model should be purchased (for example, with or without a pedestal), as well as determine its desired scale. To do this, it is worth performing preliminary measurements of the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, where it is planned to subsequently fix the equipment.

The configuration of the bowl can be any, but the length is not less than 550 mm, otherwise water from under the tap will be splashing to the floor.

Washbasins are produced by deaf or with holes for the mixer, in connection with this, you need to decide in advance with the method of fixing the latter. It is advisable to acquire it together with the washbasin, so that even before the purchase is to diagnose the equipment for compatibility.

Another important aspect is the correspondence of the water supply system with the fastening components of the washbasin. Complete with the equipment, as a rule, the siphon is attached, and in the case of its absence, it is necessary to immediately choose the optimal model.

We like the sink must carefully check for all sorts of scratches and chips. For example, if the built-in equipment or a cup with a pedestal is purchased, then it is in place to control how the product rises in its place, and once again make sure that the pedestal has the desired embroidery.

And the last important "trifle" - in the absence of the acquired equipment of the fasteners, you need to immediately acquire them in order not to guess with the accuracy of fixing the sink and other designs to it directly on the spot.

Self installation

Deciding to figure out how to properly install a bowl bowl attached, with a pedestal or on the end, you need to represent all necessary actions. Only so installation will be produced efficiently and without problems.

To begin with, it is necessary to dismantle the old construction, consisting usually from the sink, the couch and other elements. Need:

1. Unscrew the nut with which is fixed installed mixer, disconnect the eyeliner and carefully remove it.
2. Then, from the bottom side of the Hoodyman, unscrew the nuts and from the drain release to disconnect the siphon. The liquid from it must be drained in advance.
3. If the siphon replacement is required, it will need to be disconnected from the drain pipe. The hole of the water supply is desirable to shut up a plug or cloth to nasty smell Sewerage does not penetrate the bathroom.
4. Remove your park resource washbasin from supports (bedside tables, countertops, brackets, etc.).

The installation of the equipment itself consists of fixing the sink or on the wall of the room, or on the tabletop itself or pedestal. The fastening of the washbasin on the wall must be performed with the accuracy of the horizontal level, while the bolts are preferably not tightening too tight (it is enough to fix the product so that it is simply not risen).

It is much easier to install a colorhouse in a tabletop-rack or in a bedside table, since in this case the installation of the item is made separately from the wall. All water supply and drain communications are supplied to the finished equipment with a pedestal.

After a fully made installation of the sink in the bathroom, you must definitely open the water tap and drain the water to check the design for tightness. If there is a flow, most often the reason for this is poorly tightened connections. To eliminate this defect, you need to check the fastening of sewer pipes and wrap the place of joints with a sealant.

It is necessary to take into account that there should be no gaps between the sink and the wall of the room. In other cases, water entering the floor can cause the gradual destruction of the wall decoration under the influence of dampness. The best solution is to close the gap with a sealant similar to the joints of the pipes. It must be remembered that correctly implemented installation and daily care for plumbing equipment will significantly increase its technical operation, as well as the comfort of the installation of the installation.

Video instruction

The eternal problem of lack of place in the room of the bathroom or the united bathroom of standard urban apartments makes it invent various methods Saving space. Responding to such consumer requests, plumbing manufacturers do not remain aside and develop a variety of options products that will help in solving this problem. One of the interesting and very rational approaches is the installation of the shell over the washing machine, which will not only save space space, but also give the unusual design of the bathroom.

Similar shells have an elegant appearance and original form, so perfectly fit into any interior style. However, it should be remembered that it will become much more difficult to pick up the sink under the already acquired washing machine, so it is recommended to plan a comprehensive purchase. Some manufacturers make kits that include both elements at once - they are already adjacent to each other and are combined perfectly.

Shells designed specifically for installation over a washing machine or any table, are often called "water lily." Most likely, they received their name due to the characteristic form and non-standard location of the drain system.

Sinks intended for installation over washing machinesare usually called "water lily"

Drain in these sinks is not located in the central part, like most ordinary washbasins, and closer to the back of the bowl.

The appearance of the shell

"Squares" can have various forms - square, oval, rectangular, with straight and rounded corners. Models also produce non-standard and completely unusual configuration. Therefore, there should be no problem with the choice of shell on this criterion.

A variety of models allows you to choose the sink- "pita" under the specific style of the bathroom

Sink-sinks of this type, in contrast to conventional shells, can have a mounting hole for installing a mixer not only in the center of the rear "shelf", but also in any other place, or not even have it at all.

In addition to the diversity of forms, this kind of sink is produced in a wide range of sample performance. They may differ and the main manufacturing material. In a word, for the aggregate of these criteria, the "pita" can also be chosen for every taste and color.

This kind of washbasins from ceramics, acrylic, glass, metal, and besides, recently, products from a polymer-based material appear on the market, which is called polymer concave or artificial stone. The advantage of new type shells is their high resistance to all types household chemicals and mechanical influences. Polymer concave can imitate natural stone and have any color shade. All these criteria, as well as a variety of forms of products from this composite material and determine the breadth of the range and great choices.

Sizes of the shell- "Sweatshirts"

Appearance - appearance, but still in the foreground when choosing a shell for installation over the washing machine, its linear characteristics should be.

The sink dimensions can vary, and, choosing products for mounting over a specific model of the washing machine, you need to remember that the wink bowl must slightly exceed the dimensions of the device installed below it. This criterion must be taken into account especially in cases where the control panel of the washing machine is not on the facade, but on the top panel.

The dimensions of the "pita" should exclude water from entering the control panel washing machine

Pay attention to the scheme. For narrow washing machines having a depth (M) in 360 ÷ 390 mm, the corresponding sink size (L) should be 500 mm, and for large devices with a housing in 500 ÷ 510 mm, a washbasin with dimensions from the outer edge to the wall should be selected 600 mm.

What is it done for? Between the household appliance and the wall must be cleared (H), so that there is calm, without rebooting or twisting the supply and drain hoses of the machine, siphon system Plum with sink, flexible eyeliner to the mixer. Drain hoses Requires a sewer pipe (50 mm). The pipe, of course, can be hidden into the wall, but the connecting nozzle still requires no lower distance. In a word, the lumen (H) is necessary in any case, and it is usually taken equal to 70 mm.

The scheme also indicates the most typical placement places drain holes Shells (pos. 1) and installation of the mixer (pos. 2). Such an asymmetrical location gives a significant gain in ensuring common compactness.

The height of the washing machine can be any of the existing standards, but if the sink installed on it will be used by children and people of low growth, then the device itself is recommended to choose, if possible, low. Therefore, before purchasing a kit, you need to spend careful measurements and determine the maximum permissible height.

An important role for the overall safety of operation plays the depth of the sink bowl, which is very important to foresee, choosing the right size.

Drain of the shell- "Sweatshirts"

Drain from the shells of this type can have a different configuration form, and is arranged in a non-standard manner, but always located in the region as close as possible to the wall. The hole may be ordinary, round, or original, made in the form of a narrow slit. It can be located in a kind of niche-deepening, under the soapy - in this case it is usually located in the bottom rear area at the interface and the wall or one of the sides of the sink.

The narrow plum gap is convenient because the siphon in such a system is in the back of the sink, completely outside the body of the washing machine.

However, there is such a system and its disadvantage - the narrow drain is often clogged and requires enough cleaning, otherwise the siphon will begin an unpleasant odor.

Sink - "Waterwear" with a hole of the overflow system

Some models of the shells are "water lisms" are equipped with a suspension-overflow system, which prevents even a random overflow of the bowl with water, pouring out of the edges and enter the washing machine. The "windows" of plum and overflow are usually located as well as on standard sinks, in the lower and lateral areas of the bowl. In addition, the drain system is often equipped with plug plugs or even equipped with automation.

Video: A small overview of the shells - "water lishes"

Selection of washing machine

Some manufacturers produce washing machines specifically designed for installation under the sink. Of famous companies "Zanussi", "Electrolux", "Eurosoba" and "Candy", "EUROSOBA" and "CANDY" are manufactured by the manufacture of such models. Basically, all similar models are designed for a small loading of linen - usually up to 3.5 kg.

Many owners even small on the area of \u200b\u200bbathrooms, not going to sacrifice the performance of washing machines, acquire models standard sizes with a larger download. However, this should be taken into account and the growth of tenants, since the sink, with a height of the washing machine in 700 mm, will be raised to the level of approximately 890 ÷ 900 mm from the floor, and at an altitude of 850 mm - even up to 1040 ÷ 1050 mm .

Options for placing shell- "Woods" on the wall

As mentioned above, the depth of the washing machine must correspond to a similar parameter of the shell, taking into account the necessary lumen at the wall - this criterion must be observed not only for comfortable use of the washbasin, but also in order to provide electrical safety.

Perhaps the most rational solution - This is an acquisition ready setdespite not the most high rates Download washing machine

But still, if it is possible to purchase a set of equipment, then it will be the most preferable to stay in this embodiment, since it will have to invent anything and fit. Included, the manufacturer has already taken into account not only all sizes, but also the external design of the elements - they look in the complex, as a whole.

What makes a total height working panel Shells- "Squares"

On the scheme presented for example, you can see, from which the overall height of the working upper surface of the sink sink will be. This is the height of the most washing machine and, taking into account its adjustable legs, the height of the brackets, plus the thickness of the front edge-sink itself.

But if the flat drain siphon is located under the sink, then its height should be taken into account.

The scheme presents examples correctly ( but ) Installation of the machine, and made with assumed typical errors:

b. - mismatch type of siphon chosen installation scheme - a drain pipe The sinks have a sharp turn at a right angle, where they will inevitably have breakdown over time.

in - The inconsistency of the sink sizes and the washing machine, the front panel of which remains completely unprotected from the fall of water from above.

Disadvantages of shell- "water lishes"

By making the decision to make a complex installation of the washing machine and the shell in a similar way, it is necessary to take into account the shortcomings of such a scheme so that they do not surprise during everyday use. Many are ready to put up with any minuses of such a complex for saving space, some simply have no other choice, except to use such a design. But it is quite possible that for someone these flaws will seem invalid.

The following nuances can be attributed to the disadvantages of such an installation:

• From the above design of the sink and elements attached to it, it can be understood that a flat siphon is needed for its operation. If the washbasin is at some reason, the reasons are not equipped with all the necessary details for the drain system, then find components will be extremely difficult to find components, and sometimes - and almost impossible. The same as the owner of such a complex expects, if, due to any causes, even one of the elements of the system fails.
• As a rule, this type of shell is equipped with a hole for removing water from the bowl, which is located in its lateral part, and not traditionally - in the center of the bowl. This circumstance can actually cause a certain inconvenience, as often water does not leave the bowl completely, and it is necessary to take care of it yourself, applying a sponge or soft napkin for this. Water delay occurs in a flat siphon, which leads to frequent clouds. The same problem may occur with already mentioned narrow sloping holes for drain.
• Another problem with which you will have to face, installing such a kit, already connected directly to the most washing machine. So far, a steady habit has been developed, it will be necessary not once, approaching the washbasin, hit the bottom of the device with your feet. The space under the sink is filled, and therefore it will be uncomfortable to stand close to it at first. In order for the convenience of approaching the washbasin, at least the minimum space was formed, you will have to choose a narrower machine for washing and a wider sink, protruding the enclosure of the washing machine. However, it should be remembered that the compact depth machines do not differ in large loading of linen. We will have to go for any compromise, search for "Golden Mid".
• If the sink is selected and unsuccessfully installed, the problem of the protruding angles of the washing machine will arise, which can create inconvenience not only when washed, but also when moving around the bathroom.

Despite the indicated "minuses", the scheme still enjoys growing popularity. In the conditions of close apartments for the installation of the washing machine, there may be no other place at all, so many housing owners simply "close their eyes" for disadvantages and inconvenience.

Installation of the shell over the washing machine

When installing the shell and washing machine, nothing will have to invent anything, as it is produced, in principle, in the same way as when installing standard models.

The entire process of mounting the sink can be divided into several steps - this is a markup, installation of brackets, assembly of the product, equipped with its mixer, installation and connection to sewage and water supply.

If we talk about the sequence of installation, the first is the installation of the sink and the necessary items for connecting the washing machine, and only after that the device itself is installed.

If you plan to install a washing machine almost close to the wall, then water supply and sewer pipes In advance before installing the washbasin, you need to immerse into the wall, leaving outside the walls of only nozzles (water outlets), to which access to connecting and control will be provided.

Brackets must accurately correspond to the selected model of the sink - "pita"

• The first thing you need to do is markup on the wall to secure brackets. They usually come complete with sink. If they are purchased separately, then buying a washbasin, you need to immediately ask the seller to pick up brackets for him, as they happen different types And not all suitable for a specific type of shell.
• Brackets are attached to the wall with dowels or anchors. But they are initially not clogged (not tightened) to the end - a small gap of 3 ÷ 5 mm is left between the wall and the bracket, which will help accurately adjust the horizontal of the shell installation.
• After that, you can go to the assembly of the washbasin. The mixer is fixed to it, to which the pipes of the flexible supply of hot and cold water are screwed.

Do not know how to correct the mixer to wash?

The scheme and for a washbasin in the bathroom, and for kitchen sink - about the same. The sequence of operations is set forth in a special publication of our portal.

• Then the suspension-overflow system is connected if it is provided with the design. After that, a drain siphon is installed and a drainage pipe from it. It is important to pay special attention to the tightness of all system connections, as it should not have the likelihood of even small leaks. To do this, install all the sealing gaskets provided by the design, and some elements may be "land" to silicone sealant.

• The next step of the sink is trying to install it on the brackets and setting strictly by level. If a supporting hook is included in the fastener, then it is placed the place of its installation. After that, the brackets in the exhibited position are tightly attached to the wall, completely tightening the dowels or anchors. Sink, in order to avoid accidental damage, it is necessary to temporarily remove.
• Then, a hole is drilled in the wall in which the hook will be installed, and a dowel stopper is driven into it.
• After that, the sink is installed back. The hook is inserted into the hole and neatly twisted until the stop. Before installing the bowl on the brackets, it is recommended on the field of contact with the metal with metal to apply the sealant and give it to dry. Such a gasket will protect the coating of the shell from damage.

• The last step is to connect drain system To the sewage pipe, and then flexible mixer lining hoses are attached to the pipes feeding hot and cold water.
• After the sink is connected to all communications, the washing machine is neatly installed under it, adjusting it with screw legs to ensure complete stability and stability when working.
• The drain pipe from the washing machine is also installed in the pipe prepared for it (it is often placed on the siphon part of the drain system of the sink itself. Then the machine is connected to cold water To the appropriate nozzle with a crane (water outlet). After that, it will remain open the cranes on all pipes that feed water, insert the power plug into the outlet - and the complex can be used.

It should be noted that there is a simplified version of water supply to the sink installed next to the bathroom. It lies in the fact that for two plumbing devices (sinks and baths) there is one mixer with rotating long expulsion.

If you use this option, you can not only do without a second mixer, but also to free the space behind the washing machine from additional connections. In this case, the sink- "pitcher" needs to be installed in such a way that it finds a little on the edge of the bath, somewhat hanging over it, as when turning the blasting of the mixer in one or the other side, the water can get into the washing machine panel.

Having completed the installation of the shell and the machine, before starting their test, it should again check the places of all connections of pipes and hoses, as even a small leakage and water from entering certain nodes of the washing machine can lead to dangerous consequences, to the risk of short circuits, breakdowns on the phases of the body and the likelihood of receiving an electric lept. It is recommended for the bathroom to use the power supply with a grounding circuit, and the typewriter itself is connected via the protection device - RCD.

So, for a small-sized bathroom, the installation of the shell above the washing machine is often the only option. But at the same time, it is extremely important to provide in advance to ensure the overall security of a similar complex during operation, the correct interconnection of the sink and the machine, as well as the tightness of all compounds.

Installing the shell with their own hands is technologically perfect. Some essential nuances will be described later in the relevant sections. Plumbing for the installation of the shell also take inexpensively - the work is elementary.

At the same time, the washbasin and kitchen sink is responsible: not only aesthetics and convenience depends on them, but also the overall sanitary and hygienic atmosphere in the apartment. Therefore, before we take for the installation or ordering it, you need to understand the designs of these santechnibors and choose the right one for yourself. Let's start with general technical features.

Siphon

The simplest siphon is an S-shaped bending of a corrugated discharge hose, rotated 90 degrees in the vertical plane. For a washbasin, in theory, it is enough: it does not fall into the sink used toilet paper, hygienic gaskets and dishes from the dishes.

However, there is a "but" - when cleaning the sewage, Vanatuz Corrugations plays greatly and with time it is torn, and when cleaning the pneumatic studio (working from a sphawned inert gas) is often torn immediately. Cable Corrugation can not be cleaned at all. Therefore, if the sewage in the apartment is unimportant and "punching" has often, you need a hard siphon with revisions (a removable lid for inspection and cleaning), and in the kitchen it is absolutely necessary.

Hard siphons are two types: knee with removable hatch (outdated) and siphon-bottle. The latter is two concentric pipes, greater and smaller diameter. The smaller is inserted into a large base at the bottom. Lower cap of the siphon-bottle - hatch on the thread; Distribution - side.

Cleaning the bottle is simple: put on gloves, substitute the bucket, unscrew the lower hatch and the whole "bike" fluttering into a bucket. You only need to trace when buying so that the outer tube is with some narrowing up, otherwise pollution can be stuck, and you have to diverge.

The top of the evolution of siphones and at the same time washbasins-tulips (see below) - a decorative chrome-plated siphon with revision, (see drawing on the right). Among other things, it is also absolutely hygienic and functional. But the cost is an order of magnitude higher than the usual, sewage layout for it - only built into the walls, which is also not cheap, and professional work is needed for installation.

Installation of an audit siphon is always performed before the sink suspension; Siphon from corrugation - as more convenient at the place. And in that and in another case, a transitional cuff is necessary (the diameter of the sink) to the cash diameter of the sewage layout pipes, from 40 to 100 mm; You need to look at the place.

Mixer and fittings

The best mixer is with a ball shutter and swinging lever. When purchasing it, you need to make sure that the faceted parts of the threaded fittings of flexible supply tubes - Henk - are located at different levels, otherwise they do not sit on the mounting of the mixer. In a mixer with separate cranes, this problem does not occur.

Henca is more durable and more reliable than the entire metal-plastic, but the installation of the mixer with them is possible only in the already suspended sink, which is inconvenient. Plastic Henckers in a wicker marral shell can be pulled out through the opening of the sink to the outward and attach without bending around and in the light, but they happen, they are rushing.

How to assemble the mixer on the sink or car wash.

Installation of washbasin

The installation of the sink in the bathroom is carried out by the suspension to the wall on the standard brackets and self-drawers in the dowels. Remember that even full, from the bottom of the shell to the floor, pedestal - the part is not carrying! Self-tapping screws should enter the body of the wall at least 70 mm, so we take their length of at least 100 mm, if on the wall of the plaster under the tile, and even longer for coatings are thicker.

Dowels - propylene. Polyethylene fragile, metal rust, PVC from temperature and humidity changes are cracking.

The diameter of the screws is the maximum possible, which brackets allow. Remember that the sink of any washbasin is suspended, and the lever, even with a light pressure on its edge, it turns out powerful. If the diameter of the screw holes is less than 6 mm, they need to be drilled, or not to take such sink at all, especially since such "alternative" products most often turn out to be silhousic (very fragile) or plastic, fragile.

Sometimes in the bathrooms are installed with a sink with a table, (see the upper picture). But the bathroom is needed spacious, under the table and inside it can accumulate pollution, and the tank of solid to the view of the toilet table is actually small: a lot of space occupies a siphon with pipes, so that a similar solution is more likely to tribute to tradition.

Installation washing

Installing the sink in the kitchen in terms of strength is easier, since it has a reliable support in the form of a tabletop. Exception is a wash with sinks under the tabletop, see below, but such in the usual everyday life are practically not found and require to install highly professional work.

But technologically kitchen sink is more difficult because it is necessary to work inside kitchen furniture, bent, in the dark, and you need to join. Accordingly, the wage masters for such work take quite expensive. Therefore, if you are familiar to make it makes sense to make the installation of the sink in the kitchen yourself. Installaints of installation different species Money.

Sealing

All modern plumbing is equipped with regular gaskets. When working with them, the following rules should be followed:

• All work on sealing is performed only on completely dry fittings. You can add a household hairdryer if necessary.
• If possible, do not take on hand for conjugate surfaces. Spend - Degreased, flushing in water with domestic detergent For dishes.
• Paronite (red or yellow, hard) gaskets to put between plastic parts and metal supply pipe.
• Plastic pipes of standard fittings are given with a margin, they need to trim in size, but in the absence of greater experience - only pipe cutter on plastic. The slightest distortion of even the smooth cut - and the joke will flow, even though you are crazy.
• Rubber gaskets before installing silicon hermetic.

The latter requires explanation. Rubber and Silicone separately serve for several years, but together are surprisingly durable. As it turned out, the case in the difference of their temperature expansion coefficients: the materials all the time seem to be kneading each other without giving hardening tightly and crack. If the installation of the plumbing was made taking into account the specified, you can not think about leaks for many years.

Shell installation height

Shell installation height regulatory documents Strictly not regulated. SNiP give recommendations in 80-85 cm, but this is based on the average growth data. On the Scandinavian construction sites, 85-90 cm are recommended, and in Trondheim, in the homeland of the Giants-Vikings, even 90-95 cm. In Ecuador and Colombia, where most of the population - the shorteys, Indians and metis, are recommended, on the contrary, 75-80 cm.

So do how it is more convenient - in a small family you can suspend lower; In the Bogatyr - higher. True, if you plan to install a washbasin with a pedestal, you will have to be attached to its height.

Varieties of shells and their features

An ordinary suspension sink is familiar, so we will move immediately to more modern varieties.

Tulip

Shells with semippestal

The tulip washbasin appeared at the beginning of the railway wagons and in its original form exists there to this day. His distinctive feature Not at all a pedestal, but an unbroken deep sink. It had to deepen it to reduce splashing.

In small-sized bathrooms of apartments of the post-war years, such a design has come to fit, and for aesthetics (siphon turned out to be in relevant) the tulip sink was provided with a pedestal. Easily appearing in Bombed England and Germany, the innovation widely separated the world, and soon all the shells on the pedestal began to call tulips, although they were already similar to the tulip, than on the dahlia or orchid of odontoglosum.

Long term and extensive practice has shown that tulip, in general, did not meet himself, primarily from a sanitary and hygienic point of view. The cavity in the pedestal is a favorite inhabitant of small house livery, and the face of a pedestal under the microscope can be stretched from the perimeter of a pedestal under a microscope.

Polutulp

Modern sanitation and hygiene proceed from the fact that the floor in the bathroom and the toilet should be as freer and more affordable for cleaning. Anyone, even the smallest extraction becomes a source of infection, so the tulip shells have recently displaced the shells with a semi-oscillate - semi-thin (see fig), no less aesthetic, but not cluttering.

Polutulpanov has one disadvantage: to clean the siphon, it is necessary to remove either the whole sink (in the figure below), or its rather heavy and fragile part on the weight, risking and break it (in the figure - at the top). But the siphon of a washbasin is extremely rare, so this lack of this is very relative. He is completely eliminated in shells with a decorative semi-deed siphon, which is mentioned above.

Sink over the "Washing"

Washbasin over the washing machine (see Fig. Right) - innovation is relatively recent and invented, I must say, great. All the brilliant simply - no one guessed that the lattice of the washbasin sink is quite possible to place the bowl behind her or in its far corner.

For inhabitants small-sized apartments Such a solution is just a find. Unfortunately, the price of the popular product is still disproportionately. But after all, the plastic sink can be made both by itself, and a mixer with a siphon pick up separately.

An exemplary installation scheme of such a sink is shown in the following image. The siphon for such a sink is needed a bottle, with an additional nozzle for connecting the low tide of the washing machine.

Double sink

Double, or two-door shell appeared at first as an attribute of elite apartments with a spacious bathroom. But the manufacturers soon realized that the dual washbasin, paraphrasing the Ostap of Bender, is not a luxury, and the means of hygiene: most of all it is necessary in labor living on a salary family. Here, the price of minutes of the morning toilet on the working day is higher than some clever in the bathroom.

Double washbasin sink

Currently, dual washbasins have been produced with a total width of up to 80 cm, which completely allows you to install them in standard bathrooms. Ease of use (though, rather relative) is achieved by turning horizontal axes of fuses by 45 degrees in different directions, see fig. The water supply and removal from the siphones are common to both bowls, so that the installation of such a sink does not represent any additional difficulties.

Shell with heated

Recently, washbasins with water heating are quite actively promoted. Although the subhead hot water They really do not need, the device is such - nothing more than the fruit of the tricks of marketers. The flowing electric heating requires an exorbitantly high cost of electricity, expensive and complex remake of the wiring for a larger current, and the same for the shower. It's easier to look out or freeing the arms in Hozbok and.

Moen varieties

Main species kitchen Money Showing in the picture. The most common friend's overhead car wash; In the picture - left. It completely replaces the worktop, methods and features of its installation well known and are repeatedly described.

The following appearance is in the figure in the center - washing embedded in a cutting table. Its advantage over the invoice only aesthetic, the installation is quite complex, and the table top must be from water and chemically persistent material. The mortise washing can be without a wing, as in the figure, or with a wing under a wet - semi-roll.

On the packing of a mortise washing, a template for clipping opening should be printed on it. Check when buying and, if there is no one, do not take: it is almost impossible to remove the template on your own, you need a parallelogram and laser spatial scanner.

1. before delineating the pattern cut out of the package, inspect and simplify the tabletop from the inside. Cutting her frame and transverse supporting bars undesirable;
2. before cutting (electrolovka), you take out the outlined opening around the perimeter outside the painted (paper) scotch. Lobzik's shoe, which has already enjoyed, can be stained or scratching decorative coating;
3. cooked, lead, not very laughing to the tool. From a strong push, a thin flexible blade of saws can benthended in a vertical plane, to go away, and will have to wait a long section with a shinebelem or a chisel so that the sink gets into place;
4. sealing silicone not only a slice, but also a tabletop by 3-5 mm around the perimeter, so that the shells did not divorce the sink from under the rim;
5. silicone drifting sinks immediately remove with a rag moistened with cutlery vinegar.

Curling sinks are installed under the table top (on the top figure on the right); Keep such a sink overhead brackets and silicone. The countertop should be from natural stone or modified wood of valuable and persistent breeds: teak, ebony tree, Red Queberaho.

Sink under the tabletop - the belonging of elite cuisine. They are performed by two or three-stage, for installation require high mastery, there are no explicit advantages before other, so we will limit ourselves to the reference that there is in the world and such. Installation technology wishes can see the video below.

Specialization: Master in the construction plasterboard structures, finishing works and styling outdoor coatings. Installation of door and window blocks, finishing of facades, installation of electricians, plumbing and heating - for all types of work I can give detailed consultation.

Fastening the shell in the bathroom to the wall - the process is quite simple, but for some reason prefer to pay considerable money for this work. Meanwhile, if you pay 10-15 minutes to understand the features of the work, it is easily fixing the design without attracting hired specialists. I will describe the process as in detail as possible so that you can delve into all the nuances and achieve the best result.

Description of the workflow

In order for the result to be excellent, you need to pay attention to all important trifles, so we will begin consideration from the moment of choice of the type of construction. After you will tell you, you will need to work depending on the type of base, and then we will deal with the workflow itself.

Preliminary stage

I will consider the most common and most popular suspension option, since it is it that is installed in 90% of all rooms. When choosing, it is necessary to consider several important factors:

Design size	Everything is simple here: you must determine what space you have and, based on this, look for an option with optimal dimensions. A comfortable width is approximately 50 cm, but if there is little space, you can consider smaller sinks. It should also be remembered that the sinks are wider than 60 cm in small rooms will look at cumbersome
Form and color	These factors are important to consider because if the design is not combined with the other elements of the situation, then all your efforts will go to the pump. It is best to acquire elements from one collection, then you will get a harmonious interior
Type of fastening	I advise you to choose products in which the mount is made with studs. Options with brackets are also fairly comfortable, but for inexperienced masters I will recommend exactly the first solution, as it is much easier to implement and ensures very high reliability of fixation
Option design	As for attachments, this can be both self-sink and design on a pedestal or semi-pressed. Many people think that if there is a base under construction, it will carry the load, in fact it is necessary to hide unattractive communications and withstand the weight of the sink they cannot

Choose products of famous brands, it costs more, but the quality will be much better.

As for the position of the design, then several important nuances should also be taken into account:

• The standard of the height of the shell in the Bathroom software is 80-85 cm, which is exactly what plumbing is installed in all new buildings. This option is distinguished by universality, as suitable for people of different growth;

• We'll figure it out that modern manufacturers producing sinks are recommended - the height of the sink in the bathroom, according to experts, may be different. For men, it is more comfortable to use the system if the bowl is set at a distance of 94-109 cm from the floor, while for women it is more convenient to use a bowl, which is attached in 81-91 cm from the floor. The average height of the installation of the sink in the bathroom, according to Western specialists, should be located in the range from 86 to 93 cm, it is these numbers that I recommend to be guided;
• But the final decision, at what height to hang the sink, it still depends on you if you have a very high or very low growth in your family, that is, it makes sense to take into account their anthropometric parameters.

If you have children, the best solution can be the installation of a separate one. Here the most important thing is that the area of \u200b\u200bthe room was sufficient.

If you hang the mirror, then its location is determined individually, since the size of the design and its form can be the most different. It is also necessary to take into account the growth of all family members, if the difference is large, it is better to hang the option big size, it will become optimal decision. The minimum distance between the mirror and the sink is 25-30 cm, this will eliminate the splashes on the surface when washing hands.

And one more simple, but important Council - if the shell is replaced, then new option According to its sizes, it must coincide with the old, it will significantly simplify the work and you do not have to carry out large-scale alterations.

Preparation of all necessary materials and tools

It is impossible to spend work if you have no whole required at your hand, start with the list of materials and components:

• First of all, the sink itself needs, it can be both suspended and have additional elements in the form of a pedestal or semillocation;
• As for fasteners, it most often it comes in the kit, but sometimes the quality of the elements leaves much to be desired, and the length of the studs may be insufficient for your base. I always acquire new dowels (about how to choose them, I will tell below), and as for the studs, the new items are needed only if the length of the standard is insufficient;

• If your sink is made under the brackets, then it is necessary to acquire these fasteners separately. They can have a different configuration, so when you select, make sure the product is suitable for your product configuration. Separate type - adjustable designs, they are good in that if necessary, you can change the height;

• It also needs to be responsible to choose, it is better to spend a little more means than to think later how to eliminate the smell of sink in the bathroom. Choose products from good plastic with a sufficiently long flexible pipe - if it is strongly stretched, after a few years on any connection necessarily formed to flow. A frequent question from this sphere "What to do - a sink scored?", Everything is simple here: Choose those options that you can quickly disassemble if necessary;

• If the mixer is fixed on the sink, and this option is the most common, then it should also be considered responsibly. It is necessary to take into account the width and depth of the sink to pick up the length of the mixer and the height of the goosak, otherwise the water will sprinkle around. Again, try to acquire good-quality options, and not cheap Chinese, which serve a year or two.

Now we'll figure it out what tool to be assembled before fixing the sink:

• In order to attach the studs or brackets to the wall, it is necessary to have a perforator at hand with a brought the corresponding diameter and length. Most often dowels with a diameter of 12 mm and a length of at least 70 mm, based on this, the optimal size of the boraner is 12x120 mm;

If you are attached to the design to the surface, lined ceramic tiles, do not forget to purchase a special kaffle drill so as not to spoil your finish and make a neat opening.

• To fix the sink, you need to tighten the nuts, most often the key is 14 or 13 mm, the easiest way to have a horn or cape optional version 13x14, although with the current wealth of manufacturers you can also have another sizer. Manufacturers from Middle Kingdom often equip the sets of strange nuts by 12 or even 15;
• To determine the correct position of the design, you need a roulette, and in order to fix it exactly, not to do without a construction level. Marking is made using pencil or felt-meacer - which is more convenient for you.

Mounting design

Before putting the sink, you need to spend whole line work. To the location of the design, all the necessary communications must be summed up, it concerns the sewage and water supply. If the location of the sink is carried out, you will have to carry out a whole complex of sanitary work.

If the tulip shell is installed, the sewage output should be located exactly under the sink, otherwise problems can arise with the fastening of the pedestal.

Now we'll figure it out with the installation process, the instruction for installing the sink looks like this:

• First of all, you need to note with the help of roulette, at what level the sink will be located, let's remind standard height equal to 80-85 cm, but you can hang it and otherwise. Next, using the level it is necessary to mark the horizontal, it will serve as a reference at all further work. It is best to make a sink to mark the location of the fastener, so you definitely not be mistaken and do not make extra holes;
• Next, it is necessary to make holes in the marked places if the fastening on the hairpins, then the points will be only two. If you have brackets, then each of them should have 2-3 point of attachment, everything depends on the configuration of the elements. If your surface is finished with tiles, ceramics are first drilled special drilland then work is carried out using a metal bora;
• Then you need to attach bearing elementsAt first a dowel is clogged into the wall, after which the studs are screwed into them. If brackets are used, then they are fixed with the help of scoring screws, everything is simple and understandable. It is important that the elements are located on the desired width;

• Now we'll figure it out how to fix the sink to the wall, everything is quite simple here: the design is put on the hairpins, after which it is pressed with nuts. In order not to damage the ceramics, the washer is located under the nut, tighten the fastener is needed with moderate effort. The design brackets simply fit, in some models the mount is provided, it is important to ensure the immobility of the sink;

• Next, the mixer is installed, it is most often attached by stiletto if you have a sink design that it will be difficult to access it after fastening on the wall, then the mixer is better to put in advance. Modern systems easy to install, and you can easily figure out how to install the product correctly, because the instruction is always included with it;

Flexible mounting - not the most difficult job

• Siphon is also installed very easily, the most important thing is to accurately have sealing elements. And, clamping fasteners, not crush them. The assembly usually takes a few minutes, it is important to do everything carefully and not damage the threaded connections;

• As for the pedestal, the higher I noted that it bears solely decorative function and is not designed for the load. The element is fixed to the floor with a dowel, and the joints between the elements are compacted by special gaskets. Naturally, if you are mistaken with a height, the element may not be in place or between it and the sink will be a wide gap, so it is better to check all the coincidences at the initial stage.

At the end I would like to add a small remark - before installing the sink on the brackets, you can miss the connection location liquid nailsSo you will achieve excellent fastening if the design is not fixed with additional fasteners.

The joint of the shell and the walls are best to close the silicone sealant. I ask me how to smear if the sealing cracked, everything is simple here: old sealant It is removed and the gap is filled with a new one, the color is selected depending on the coloring of the shell.

In a nutshell, I will tell you how to install an overhead sink. This option is used increasingly, but many do not understand how simple installations are similar:

• The mixer is always attached separately. - either to the tabletop, or to the wall, you need to choose the optimal solution;
• Sink is located right on the surface, no cutouts do not need to do. The only hole that needs to be drilled is under the sewer output;
• The mount is very simple: the lower part is labeled with silicone or moisture-resistant liquid nails and is glued to the tabletop, everything is very fast and reliable.

Output

Secure the sink in the bathroom - the work is not the simplest, but also difficult to call it difficult. The process takes a little time, and if everything is done correctly, then you can enjoy the result for many years.
