I am pretty handy i am wondering the degree of difficulty in putting in a new wall mount bathroom sink?

Question

I have an old sink where the hot/cold come out the front of the sink, and i am replacing with a sink that has them coming out of the top. The other thing i need to do is replace the entire supply line. Will it be difficult getting routing the sink to go out top?. It's a small 10 inch sink for a tiny bathroom.

Answer 1

The only big problem you could have is a rusted out galvinized pipe for you supply line. they are hard to loosen can can break. I would at a faucet valve with a 3/8 compression fitting that a flex hose will hook up too then the hose screw right into the faucet.



If you do have galvanized threaded pipes first make sure you can loosen them. if you cant you will be in over your head call someone for help.

Answer 2

You can use flexible tubing that screws on for the supply lines. That won't be a problem. Go to the hardware store and ask what would be appropriate for your sink. All you need to do is make sure it's long enough; it will route most anywhere.



The more likely source of frustration will be the drain. You want to make sure that you line up the sink right so it will be in range of that U-trap underneath.
