Part1: Look at the sink installation process Learn to install and don't be deceived
The installation of the sink should be done step by step, and the order cannot be reversed, otherwise the future troubles will be endless! Especially in the process of worker construction, you need to pay attention to each installation step to avoid encountering some construction teams with insufficient qualifications.
1. The sink position should be reserved
The first step is to reserve a sink space and provide the approximate size of the sink when ordering the sink. It is best to have a sink floor plan provided to avoid rework caused by non-conformities. When installing the sink, the position left for the countertop should coincide with the volume of the sink. The sink should be installed firmly, and the tank body should not be shaken from side to side. The installation of the sink is not a major project in the whole decoration, but pay as much attention as possible to the tightness of the connection during the installation process.
2. Install the faucet and inlet pipe first
In the second step, the faucet and inlet pipe should be installed before installing the sink. In addition, one end of the inlet pipe on the faucet is connected to the inlet switch.
3. Put the sink on the countertop
After putting in the countertop, it is necessary to install the matching hanging tab between the tank and the countertop. The sink should be installed firmly, and the tank body should not be shaken from side to side. The installation of the sink is not a major project in the whole decoration, but pay as much attention as possible to the tightness of the connection during the installation process.
4. Overflow hole and filter basket sealed
The sealing degree of the overflow hole and filter blue affects the use of the sink in the future, so the sealing degree of the overflow hole and the filter blue is very important, and the sealing of the overflow hole and filter basket must be checked after installation.
5. Install supporting hanging sheets
The last step of installation is to install the matching hanging piece of the sink, generally after the sink is bought at home, the workers will cut the countertop according to the size of the sink, and after putting in the countertop, it is necessary to install the matching hanging piece between the sink and the countertop. When installing, small voids should be avoided causing the tank to shake to better prevent water leakage in the future.
6. Drainage test, edge banding
After installation, a drainage test should be done, the sink should be filled with water, and the drainage of the drainage of the drainage and overflow holes should be tested at the same time. If you find any water leakage during drainage, you should rework it immediately. After the drainage test, if you make sure that there are no problems, you can bandage the edge of the sink. When sealing the edge with silicone, it is necessary to ensure that the gap between the sink and the countertop is uniform, and there can be no water seepage.
Part2: Sink installation should pay attention to detail processing is the most important
There are the following problems in the process of sink installation that need to be paid attention to, and paying attention to the following problems can better avoid the undesirable phenomena caused by use.
1. The sink is installed at the end of the kitchen decoration
The installation of the sink should be left at the end of the kitchen decoration, the installation of the sink is not a big project, the sink needs to be prepared in advance, install, and after the sink is ordered, directly find the installer to install.
2. The water pipe water must be drained during installation
Be sure to drain the water pipe before installing the sink, if the water pipe is not drained during installation, it will cause water leakage and rust in the sink in the future.
3. The faucet must be firm when installed
This point is very important for everyone, when installing the sink, you must pay attention to the firmness of the joint, but also pay attention to the position of the hot and cold water pipes, do not make mistakes left and right. If the installation is not secure, it will lead to gaps next to the sink, resulting in water leakage
4. It needs to be cleaned after installation
After the installation is completed, the sink must be cleaned and the debris during installation must be thoroughly rinsed. In addition, for the stains that are easy to see in the daily sink can be treated in this way, the sink should be cleaned with warm water, washing liquid and soft cloth after use, and the usual stains can be removed immediately; Ordinary stains such as garbage and cream are slightly polluted and should not be cleaned with a stronger detergent; Foods that are easy to contaminate the sink, such as tea, coffee, juice, etc., are best washed immediately with water or detergent to avoid alkaline sediment remaining in the sink.
Part3: Frequently Asked Questions After Installation It is a pity to be careful with construction
Problems caused by improper installation of sinks make everyone feel a headache when they think about it, what should I do if I encounter these problems? The following small series gives you some ways to deal with it.
1. Floating rust, mildew
The rust and mildew of the sink are not quality problems, but are mostly caused by the accumulation of metal impurities in the water pipes of the newly decorated room on the bottom of the basin. It can be wiped with toothpaste or talcum powder, which will disappear naturally after normal use. Note: Stainless steel sinks generally do not be disinfected with concentrated disinfectant solution when used, so as not to damage the surface of stainless steel.
2. Water leakage
If it is a water leakage, the main reasons are as follows, whether the rubber pad is aging and whether the screw buckle is loose. Xiaobian recommends putting glass glue on the place where the drain and sink are connected and where the screw buckle is connected, so that the effect of leakage is very good. If it is a stainless steel leak, you can use putty to plug it, and there will be no problem after drying. It is recommended to repair with ceramic putty or other waterproof putty.
3. The sink changes color
The stainless steel sink itself does not change color. However, some sinks have been sitting for a long time, especially on display shelves, the color will become dull, and some will even grow some mildew. This is because the sink has been placed for a long time, especially when it is displayed, and the dust is hidden in the frosted seams on the surface of the basin, which reduces the surface finish of the product, and some encounter moisture and even mildew. If this occurs, just wipe it off with gauze moistened with detergent or talcum powder.
4. The sink is blocked
Due to the large amount of washing in Chinese family kitchens, a large amount of pre-meal washing preparation and a large number of after-meal utensils cleaning will produce water residue, debris, oil and dirty water caused by washing. If the water removal device only has the function of holding water during washing and removing water after washing, it cannot filter out debris in the water, which will cause poor drainage and cause pipeline blockage. Therefore, it is very important to choose a good sink water removal device.
