How to Install a Bathroom Vanity
Materials Needed
- Bathroom vanity kit
- 2.5 millimeter screws
- Drill
- Silicone caulk
- Faucet kit
- Pliers
1. The bathroom vanity will come assembled in a large and heavy box. Unpack the box to reveal a cabinet and vanity top.
2. Place the cabinet against the wall. Adjust the cabinet against the wall. Drill 2.5 millimeter screws into the cabinet to secure the vanity. The vanity will have an opening in the back so it can fit around the water supply connections
3. Place the vanity top in place over the cabinets. Apply silicone caulk around the edges and along the backsplash. If there are gaps where the vanity meets the wall, apply the caulk there also.
4. The faucet kit is purchased separately. It will contain a faucet, drain, handles, mounting nuts and a manual.
5. Mount the faucet through the holes in the sink. Tighten the black plastic nuts from the bottom of the sink using your hands. No tools are necessary at this point.
6. Insert the drain body from the bottom of the sink. Place the speed connect sink drain into the middle hole on top of the vanity. Tighten the drain locknut from the bottom. You can also tighten it by hand.
7. Connect the supply lines to the water valves with pliers. The trap should connect to the tailpiece and drain line. Add the popup control rod to the end of it.
8. Go round the sink once again to check for gaps. Fill in those gaps with silicone caulk.
