Once it is squared up reach underneath and mark the wall. You move the sink out of the way and drill a hole large enough for the anchor to go through. This is a bit that is made to cut glass & tile. It is diamond-tipped. Here are the anchors installed in the sink ready to pop through the wall
At this point you slide the sink and pedestal back in place taking care to push the anchors through the tile into the wall. Because the bolt head is up under the sink and you cannot get a screwdriver to it I have installed a hex nut on the bolt. Once the toggle Wing expands and I screw the bolt down with my hand most of the way I can put a wrench on the hex nut and tighten the sink to the wall. Anytime you working with porcelain take care not to over tighten and to always tighten both sides evenly
Next you want to install a trap kit. It is a elbow, a trap piece which is u shaped and depending on the height of the drain protruding from the wall you may need a short piece of pipe to Extend high enough to reach the tailpipe
This coupling piece is accordion-style for making up two pipes which may not be Plumb. In this case I had to use it because I could not dictate the height or placement of the drain pipe which was existing
I could never be a plumber
They deserve every cent
Lastly you install your flexible lines from your valves to the fixture. Make sure not to over tighten these as they have a rubber insert and you will mash them and they could leak. In this picture you could also see a little more of the trap for the drain
I know it's almost as bad as being an electrician and you have to play in the shit. LOL
Right haha
Here's a picture of the sink and toilet installed.
Nice, is that a half bath?
In the next day or so I'm going to go over patching wall tile in a bathroom
No I'm standing in the shower. The half bath is the one with the damaged flange and I will be patching some tile in there as well
Oh word. Nice dude. I hate plumbing.
Me too but it pays. Gotta eat! Are you going to get on voice chat this Saturday if we can get everyone together and discuss the banners
Ty
Very nice @Deleted User
I recently took the faucet off my bathtub and filled it with hot glue.
Yeah it’s oiled bronze with the plastic pull-up gate inside. I never use the faucet and wanted the pressure going to my shower head lol. So yeah. Glue.
That works.
Cross your fingers for me boys, I'm about to find out whether or not I get to take my Journeyman's test
What are you trying to find out if you have enough hours
Nah, test results from the last class of the apprenticeship program
If I pass, I'm set to be the youngest Journeyman in the company
I never went for my journeyman's license. When I started they weren't too worried about anyone having one . It wasn't until I became a foreman that I went to my Master's license
Yeah, the state doesn't enforce it. It's a certificate of competency more than anything. Pretty sure you need to be a J card holder for a few years before you can sit for a Master's in Florida
Yeah in Kentucky do you just have to have the additional hours before you can take the Masters. It's about A 5 hour test and it sucks
They don't want just any dumbass calling themselves an electrician
You’ll get it brother, no question.
Got a 91
That's straight A's all 8 semesters
Awesome, good for you!
Hells yes, just need to get the state cert now
That's great!! Now ask for more money. Kek
Jk
Oh believe me, I will
