How Do I Install A Kitchen Sink?

Generally speaking, the steps of sink installation are as follows: fixed position - install faucet and water inlet pipe - sink on the table top - overflow hole, filter screen sealing - install supporting pendants - drainage test - edge banding - cleaning.
1. Fixed position
The sink must be installed before the location and size of the installation, so that it is convenient for us to order according to the size, and it is best to have a sink plan, so as not to have inaccurate data and lead to rework.
In addition, after the sink is firmly installed, do not shake it from side to side, as it is easy to leave gaps and cause loosening. Also, the most important thing to pay attention to is the tightness of the joints.
2. Install the faucet and water inlet pipe Before installing the sink, the faucet and water inlet pipe should be installed first, and the water inlet pipe at the other end needs to be connected to the water inlet switch.
3. Place the sink on the countertop
After the sink is put into the countertop, it is necessary to install the matching pendant between the wall and the countertop, but try to pay more attention to the sealing effect of the sink during the installation process, and it is best to do a closed water test.
Overflow holes, filter seals
The degree of sealing of the overflow port and the filter screen determines the use effect of the sink in the future, the higher the sealing degree of the overflow hole and the filter screen, the less likely it is to have problems in the later stage.
4. Install the matching pendant
The installation of matching pendants is generally considered to be the last step of sink installation, generally only after the sink is bought at home, workers will cut the cabinet countertop according to the size of the sink, put it into the countertop, and then need to install the matching pendant. When installing, each gap should be filled to avoid water leakage problems in the future.
5. Drainage test
After the overall installation of the sink, the sink needs to be filled with water, do a drainage test, if there is a leak, you should immediately find the problem and rework and repair.
6. Edge banding
Once the drain test has been done to ensure that there is no problem, the sink can be edge-banded. When using silicone edge sealing, it is necessary to ensure that the connection gap between the sink and the table top is even, and there can be no water seepage.
7. Clean up
After the installation is completed, the sink must be cleaned and the debris during installation must be cleaned up. Do not flush water directly into the drain, it can easily cause blockages.
