How do you attach a pedestal sink to the wall.

For drilling into tile use a tile bit to drill the holes. Although it isn t the preferred way of securing the sink to the wall you can use adhesive caulking as well. Most pedestal sinks actually hang from a bracket attached to a mounting brace or framing in the wall. The lumber is secured to the wall studs and covered with a drywall patch.

Be sure not to over tighten. Thus install the hanger bolts on the wall by leaving an inch extension from the wall. For drilling into concrete use a hammer drill and a concrete bit. Then you can drill the holes by putting aside the pedestal stand and sink aside first.

When you push the pedestal sink against the wall you can screw it to the lumber behind the drywall. The technique for doing this will vary depending on the type of floor. The pedestal sink must be mounted to the floor for stability. The pedestal is only a secondary support.

Mark the anchor holes of the sink on the wall while doing the hole of the pedestal on the floor. While construction adhesive creates a strong bond between the sink bowl and pedestal if you ever need to separate the two pieces doing so will prove challenging if not impossible. For sinks that do not attach with a bracket ask an assistant to hold the sink at the wall so the upper holes at the rear underside of the sink align at the horizontal line on the wall. Simply add a lag screw and then snug it down with a ratchet.
