Existing hardware: With pedestal sink lavatories, wall mounted, or shrouded lavatories, you will have a substantial amount of supply and drainage hardware exposed to sight. Make sure your P-trap, supply lines, and valves are acceptable for the appearance. This is a perfect time to change and upgrade.
Before installation: When you open the box(es), you will want to do a quick check to make sure all the parts are included. There will be a parts check list in your instruction booklet.
You will want to install the faucet and drain onto the lavatory top before you install the top. It is easier to work with at this point and the two pieces don't add too much weight.
Step Four:
1) Position the pedestal mounting hole over the hole in the floor.
2) Secure the pedestal to the floor with the wood screw and washer. Tighten the wood screw until it is snug.
Caution! Risk of product damage: Do not overtighten. Overtightening the wood screw may cause damage to the product.
Step 5:
1) Set the lavatory on the pedestal so the hanger bolts extend through the lavatory holes.
2) Level the lavatory.
3) Install the cap nuts and washers, and tighten until snug. Caution! Risk of product damage: Do not overtighten the cap nuts. Overtightening may cause damage to the product.
4) Connect and tighten the trap. Connect the hot and cold water supplies to the faucet.
Installation tips: If available, the installation is much easier with two people. Some of these lavatories are very heavy and can be cumbersome to move around. The most important time for help is when you are putting Non-standard shaped bolts the lavatory onto the mounting hardware and lining up the P-trap at the same time. It is great to have someone lifting and placing while the other is lining up the pipes.
Installing the legs into the wall is a relatively simple job. However, when screwing in from the threaded side, put a threaded rod connector over the threads to protect them (another option is to use multiple nuts). This will make a much easier time of tightening the nuts while holding up the lav top.
