How to Install a Wall-Mounted Bathroom Sink – Step by Step
1. To provide the proper support for a wall-mounted sink, it's usually necessary to remove a small section of drywall so you can access
the wall studs and attach blocking between them. Determine where support will be needed, based on the sink's measurements and mounting
height (typically 30 inches above the floor). Remove drywall in that area and install 2-by-6 or 2-by-8 blocking between wall studs. Connect the
blocking to the studs with 3½” galvanized common nails. Then repair the drywall. If you are installing the sink on tile, concrete, or any other
hard surface, simply skip this step.

2. Position the sink on the wall and mark the wall through the holes in the sink using a pencil, or, measure the distance between the
installation gaps on the sink. This will give you the exact distance needed between the two screws. Make sure to mark the wall at the correct
height of your choice. (Image A)
a. Hard Surface walls: Drill a hole into the wall surface at marked locations (Use 3/8” drill bit) for a plastic anchor if installing on anything
other than wood or drywall. Hammer plastic anchor into the hole.
b. Drywall: Skip plastic anchor installation and drill small pilot holes for lag screws directly through the wooden wall studs or blocking.
2. Apply silicone on back of sink for optimal hold between sink and wall. Do not let sealer touch any other surface and do not apply too
early as to not let it dry up before proper placement.
3. Screw lag screw about 1/3 into the wall (or directly into plastic anchors). Position the sink over the lag screws and tighten nut screw.
(Image B) Make sure metal washer is positioned between nut and plastic washer. Tighten both screws until there is no gap between the plastic
washer and the sink. If your sink will not accommodate the plastic washer, remove it and install with only the nut and metal washer. The sink
will rest on the screws / bolts. Using the u-shaped openings in the back of the sink. (Image C)
4. Check to make sure the sink is level before final tightening.
5. Connect the P-trap and drain arm, and then connect the two water-supply tubes to the shutoff valves. Consult a certified plumber if
you are not familiar with this process.
