Learn how to install a pedestal sink with this complete step-by-step video.
Is your bathroom a tad small?
Do you want to remodel your bath and are thinking of a pedestal sink?
Pedestal sinks are pretty affordable and can open up your space.
This video will show a beginner DIYer how to
-determine if the pedestal sink will work
-install a new faucet onto the sink
-mount the sink to the wall
-install all the plumbing without leaks
The first step is to buy a pedestal sink and make sure the cut-out in the pedestal fits the plumbing setup, i.e. P-Trap and shutoff valves.
Dry fit the sink onto the pedestal. Draw the hole positions of the sink on the wall.
Remove the sink and check if the hole positions are on a stud or wood blocking. If this is the case you can use lag screws to attach the sink to the wall. If you have just drywall you can use standard toggle bolts, although I recommend inserting wood into the wall and using lag screws.
Install the new faucet onto the sink. I bought the Delta faucet in this video from Faucet Depot, which has awesome prices. You should totally check them out if you need to buy a faucet or anything else for your bathroom www.faucetdepot...
Make sure all the plumbing connections are tight and leak proof. Especially the rubber gasket that seals the drain to the sink.
Dry fit the sink to the pedestal a second time and see if the drain is long enough to fit into the P-Trap. If it's not you have to put an extension tube on the drain. My video shows you all the details of how to do this

Thank God and you for this video! I bought a new bronze faucet to upgrade our half bathroom, and found myself having to remove that same pedestal sink to be able to replace the faucet. Quite a headache! lol Your video is very thorough, even easy for me, the handy woman of the house to install! Than you again!

Great video. Two things i noticed. You an use plumbers puddy under the drain flange instead of silicone caulk. For the drain bar, the drain bar goes in the middle of the clip. So installation goes clip, bar, clip.

It's a pretty good video. But for me, 2 critical steps missing. Finishing the P-trap installation and attaching the sink to the wall. With the limited work space, I'm looking to see how these 2 processes are actually accomplished.

@donovans6472 5 лет назад

good video except for the fact that you skipped the hardest part which is mounting and securing the sink....... i only saw you drill two holes in the wall but i didn't see you attach the sink to the wall.....(or did you decide to just place the sink on the base and leave it like that)

@A10TOES 7 лет назад

I think I could do this, great step by step explanation of the process. Thank you!!

@deaneng8540 4 года назад

Couple notes: when you drill the lag screws or other screw you may use make sure you drilling into the center of the stud so you don't hit a water line. I use my drill with a small bit to find where the edges are on the wall so I know for sure where the center is. And just push the bit into the wall barely pass the thickness of the sheetrock. And I also have my water key with me and know how to turn the water off in the street in case the SHTF, IE, angle stop doesn't close off cause it's broken. Had this happen recently while water is gushing out but good thing I was ready and ran out to the street to turn it off!

@noisycricket3956 3 года назад

If your house was plumbed with CPVC. When tightening supply lines to shut off valves, be sure to hold the shut off valve securely. Otherwise you may snap the supply line.

@NarrowPath_7 Год назад

I wish plumbers like yourself were in my country Jamaica. So hard to find someone who knows how to install these basics, especially with the plumbing from the ground and not the wall. Had a guy completely Jack up the basin because of this. So now I have to seek out another plumber

@beatrixblitzer747 3 года назад

I always wondered with these two piece pedestal sinks, should you be putting some kind of silicone or barrier between the sink leg and the top of the sink. But it looks like with this video no. The pipes just make it all come together. This is a great video that I’m going to be using this weekend. The only tricky part is cutting the pipe because I don’t have a tool so I’m going to have to find a pipe that is short enough to fit.

@btexpress53 5 лет назад

@drivingmisscrazy6835 5 лет назад

@irenelafortune4438 7 лет назад

My only question is, how did you know how far out the p-trap should be from the wall to fit within the pedestal, and have the basin against the wall? I didn't see you measure anything, I would have thought you would have to do that before installing the pipe from the wall to the p-trap

@flippnfrog 8 лет назад

Was the pedestal already secured to the floor? I am curious how you went about securing that. Thanks!!! :)

@richardm.9821 5 лет назад

The pedestal is not secured to the floor, ever. The sink is secured to the wall and the weight of the sink on the pedestal is enough (with the stability of the wall-mounted sink bowl on top of it) to keep the pedestal in place

@jamesgilliam6615 2 года назад

@nilaroc52 7 лет назад

How do you put the anchor that doesn't fall behind the wall when installing the sink to the wall?

@richardm.9821 5 лет назад

You push the anchor through the wall with the spring-loaded wingnut on the screw. When you push that part through the wall it springs open, then you tighten the screw and it pulls the wings to the inside surface of the wall, thus tightening it securely to the wall as you tighten it down.

@mishej.2292 4 года назад

Does the sink need to be attached to the wall and would silicone secure it? I'm wondering about a " professionally installed" pedestal sink in a family member's home. A timely answer will be most helpful.Thank you!

@stayfrosty1012 2 года назад

Although this isn't exactly a timely response, I can answer that for you as a chippie's apprentice. If the sink is a stand-alone floating sink than it should be secured to the wall using a bracket and bolted to the studs/noggin (blocking) behind the drywall. IF the sink is a pedestal sink, most of the weight will be supported by the pedestal beneath it, and in that case it is alright to be caulked to the wall. Hope this helps, despite it being a year late 😂
