To mount the hanger bolts just use the double nut method. You put both nuts on one hanger bolt. The outer nut will tighen onto the inner. Then just a wrench and bolt them into the wall and just unscrew the nuts and use for the other bolt.
The bolts have been totally fine, even after 4 years. And my son puts his full body weight on it despite my warnings that it may not hold. With that said, I’d trust your plumber and go with the brackets. I’m definitely not an expert 😅.
Why this video has even a single dislike is beyond me and made me think you were either giving bad advice or the video wasn't very well recorded, it was neither. What the heck people?
You are a great inspiration for those who sit on the French needing a female role model to find their courage.. what is the size and brand of sink you use in this tutorial? I like it very much and would like to find one!...Sandy
Thanks so much Sandy! I have a link to the exact sink I used on my blog here theunprofessional.com/how-to-hang-a-wall-mount-sink-and-plumb-it-too/ it has held up great!
why are the hot and cold intake pipes crossed? would be great if we could get some links to suggested plumbing parts. Which parts have to match the exact sink or faucet, and which parts are standard fittings you could find anywhere?
when you are drilling tiles you could use a specific tile drill, you'd still need to put masking tape to stop the bit slipping around, but drill bits, hammers and tiles are not a great combination.
I have a similar space in our dormer house where I’m putting in a bathroom with shower. Problem is putting in shower doors without having them custom made. What doors are on your shower ? Sloping roof is the problem.
Yes that is a challenge. I put up a wire across the top and cut a shower curtain to account for the angle. Then I put a hook where the 90 degree meets the slope and made a hole in the curtain to attach it. It’s not the best solution and I plan to get glass cut eventually. Good luck!
this is awesome! I wish you would show your tiling project even with the swearing because you're awesome. I also wish you would wear safety glasses when you are drilling.
Thank you! I’ll try to get a clip of my next tiling job haha! I will absolutely take this comment to heart and remember my safety glasses next time. I do appreciate the kind reminder.
What’s the advantage of plugging the stinky drain pipe with a plastic bag as opposed to a rag or a shirt? Do they have plugs to buy for that at a Home Depot? I can’t fix the bathroom sink until next week-want to prevent smells!
The Unprofessional I put a plastic bag, being that it will not be worked on for a week (or perhaps more) should I keep the plastic bag in or put in a shirt/rag? Thanks for the reply!
I had a bag in for a few days to keep the smells at bay and it was fine for me. It might be worth checking a plumbing specific website if you’re concerned about gasses coming up. HomeDepot does sell covers that should create a better seal. If you start noticing a strong smell, I’d definitely find a better plug, but that wasn’t an issue for me.
Curious, I bought a similar sink recently and the stud and screw equipment to mount it said it was for masonry. I'm mounting into a stud block in the wall. Do you think I'll need a different type of bracket to mount the thing (not supplied). Sorry for the random question.
Masonry screws tend to work ok in wood but not the other way around. With that said, I’d still probably play it safe and get new hardware. It’s cheaper than replacing a broken sink. Good luck!!
Should add little pictures in the corner to illustrate the items described in the supertitles during the high speed mount (the two-person segment). Thank you!
Dawn THAO-YANG thanks! The sink is Barclay. I got it on Amazon. There is a direct link to it in my blog post here: theunprofessional.com/how-to-hang-a-wall-mount-sink-and-plumb-it-too/.
Pretty sure for anyone in the US that is watching this: she used a "Bottle Trap" which definitely looks better. BUT does not meet plumbing code in the US. It shouldn't be an issue unless you're thinking of selling the house.
We have true vents connected to the plumbing throughout the house, not installed by me. I don’t have problems with gurgling, smells or backups, so it seems to be venting just fine. Thanks for the comment, that’s definitely something to think about.
@@TheUnprofessional as long as it’s working! Just keep in mind air admittance valves will let air in to a branch but does not allow air to exit, code requires at least one vent to outside atmosphere
I have that problem in a different bathroom. Makes it pretty tricky unless you are good at plumbing. I’d do a slim cabinet vanity in this situation. I’ve seen some that are compact and still have storage options. Good luck!
