How easy is it to install a kitchen sink? |
I am moving into a house that has an older kitchen sink and I am thinking about replacing it at some point. What is involved? Measure the size of the current sink and buy one the same size. Turn off the water supply valves under the sink and disconnect the supply tubes. Remove the trap from the drain piping. The old sink may have silicone or caulking holding it down. You may have to cut the seal or try "gently" prying it up. It may also have clips under the edge of the sink below inside the cabinet that need to be removed. Install the faucet on the new sink with the supply tubes connected and the new strainer installed. Apply a bead of silicone around the edge of the hole and drop the sink in. Connect any clips that are included with the new sink. Hook the plumbing back up. I would suggest buying new supply tubes and strainer. You will also need some plumbers putty to seal the strainer into the sink. Screwdriver, channel-locks, and a cresent wrench should be all the tools you need. We just replaced a white porceline sink with a stainless one in Our kitchen. |
