Learn how to install a pedestal sink with this complete step-by-step video.
Is your bathroom a tad small?
Do you want to remodel your bath and are thinking of a pedestal sink?
Pedestal sinks are pretty affordable and can open up your space.
This video will show a beginner DIYer how to
-determine if the pedestal sink will work
-install a new faucet onto the sink
-mount the sink to the wall
-install all the plumbing without leaks
The first step is to buy a pedestal sink and make sure the cut-out in the pedestal fits the plumbing setup, i.e. P-Trap and shutoff valves.
Dry fit the sink onto the pedestal. Draw the hole positions of the sink on the wall.
Remove the sink and check if the hole positions are on a stud or wood blocking. If this is the case you can use lag screws to attach the sink to the wall. If you have just drywall you can use standard toggle bolts, although I recommend inserting wood into the wall and using lag screws.
Install the new faucet onto the sink. I bought the Delta faucet in this video from Faucet Depot, which has awesome prices. You should totally check them out if you need to buy a faucet or anything else for your bathroom www.faucetdepot.com/
Make sure all the plumbing connections are tight and leak proof. Especially the rubber gasket that seals the drain to the sink.
Dry fit the sink to the pedestal a second time and see if the drain is long enough to fit into the P-Trap. If it's not you have to put an extension tube on the drain. My video shows you all the details of how to do this

Great job! Very informative & me being an attempt anything once person you made it look so easy! Thank you.
My Man, you made this look easy. I appreciate you making this video.
The best video on pedestal sink installation!! Thank you!!
Thank God and you for this video! I bought a new bronze faucet to upgrade our half bathroom, and found myself having to remove that same pedestal sink to be able to replace the faucet. Quite a headache! lol Your video is very thorough, even easy for me, the handy woman of the house to install! Than you again!
Excellent instructional video! Very thorough and thoughtfully done. Thank You!
It's a pretty good video. But for me, 2 critical steps missing. Finishing the P-trap installation and attaching the sink to the wall. With the limited work space, I'm looking to see how these 2 processes are actually accomplished.
Much better than Bob Vila's video. You gave more info.
+Stephen Politano thank you!
Well done! I watched this to help figure out how to remove one in order to do flooring.
Thanks for the video. My wife and I are remodeling our first house and this was very useful.
I've installed a lot of sinks with vanities but not pedestals. Very good video. You know what your doing
Thank you very much, I learned a lot from your simple and easy to follow instructios, step by step. I believed you covered everything, if not you covered the really important things to know
I think I could do this, great step by step explanation of the process. Thank you!!
This insurmountable task was impossible to accomplish on my own wit, thanks for the great video Jeff!
great job doing it yourself, sometimes it just takes a little help and you can do the rest...that sink wouldn't have installed itself ;)
Thanks very much for this post. It helped a ton with the installation of my pedestal sink.
Thanks for the step by step instructions for the project.🙏
love the colour of your daughters bathroom thanks very helpful
Excellent Video
Great video. Happy you mentioned the extension piece. That's crucial. I would have covered how to install the screws into the wall though. That seemed to be skipped a bit.
Super helpful, thanks! Just enough info to know the steps needed.
I'm a single mom and often get frustrated with home repair stuff. thank you for the clear instruction in your videos.
glad to help ;)
Enjoyed the video, I'm about to take on this challenge!
Thank you for the info on the drain pipe extension measurement. I did it wrong and will try again tomorrow.
Thank you! Some of the videos I’ve seen talked about cutting a hole in the wall, too much. You made this so easy I’ve wanted to take the vanity out of my half bath for a long time
He said he knows there is solid blocking behind the wall because he put it there himself. This guy cut a hole in his wall also, he just skipped that part. among other important things..
@@Thumbsdwn what other important things did he skip?
Awesome video, way to really explain things well!
Thumbs up! Note: I didn't recall if you screwed the pedestal portion into the floor. Mine sort of gives one that option ... and to shim the pedestal as well if necessary. Utmost blessings!
Very detailed and helpful! Thank you sir!
glad the video helped, let me know if you have questions
Thank you, excellent teaching!
Appreciate that Sheila
Well explained. Thank you for sharing
Very helpful, thanks.
Thanks for the great explanation
Thanks Jeff that helps a lot,now I know why my pedestal sink moves
Really great video!
Great video. Two things i noticed. You an use plumbers puddy under the drain flange instead of silicone caulk. For the drain bar, the drain bar goes in the middle of the clip. So installation goes clip, bar, clip.
very informative , thanks a lot
Very well done!
Super helpful video. Thanks for sharing.
Great job ,thanks a million
This is one of the best how -to video's I've ever seen!!! Thank you so much. I feel like I can do this now!
Thanks, glad it helped!!
Appreciated the video. The demonstration was will presented.
+Darien Trujillo thanks so much, hope it helps
Awesome awesome awesome video. Thank you Sir!
Thanks
very well explained thank you.
Thank you, hope it helped
Very good video. Thanks
Very helpful video!
thanks
Great Video! Thanks!
If your house was plumbed with CPVC. When tightening supply lines to shut off valves, be sure to hold the shut off valve securely. Otherwise you may snap the supply line.
Most important installation part "not shown" is mounting sink too the wall with either the lag bolt or toggle bolt that came with sink, said that you were going to use lag screws, then went too water lines
He also magically attached the drain pipes.
The clip on the pop-up goes around the drop plate to hold it in place.
Nicely Done! Thanks.
+Dave Major thank you
Awsome video!
I wish plumbers like yourself were in my country Jamaica. So hard to find someone who knows how to install these basics, especially with the plumbing from the ground and not the wall. Had a guy completely Jack up the basin because of this. So now I have to seek out another plumber
Thank you friend
Good job dude. Very articulate and precise.
+FUGYOO thank you, the video is a bit long but wanted a lot of details
Jeff Patterson
I often end up with extra bolts n nuts after working on vehicles, so your extended version works for me. Your kid will appreciate your detail.
You’re a good guy ty :)
Good advice!!
Great job
Good 👍 job i would have put the extra water hose inside lower base.God bless you.
Thank you!
Thanks! That's the same pedestal sink I purchased. Wish me luck!
+Shane Langton you can do it, let me know if you have any questions
Lol me as well, I actually just had to replace the bowl because some idiot (my niece) decided to clean her hooka in it instead of the kitchen sink and dropped it. Cracked threw the whole bowl and a big chip came out. I’m glad they sell the bowl separately from the base.
good instruction
Well done. Thank you very munch.
Thanks I wanted to Install a Pedestal which the installation was really expensive after the Video I'm sure I can do it myself
if you have any questions let me know
I always wondered with these two piece pedestal sinks, should you be putting some kind of silicone or barrier between the sink leg and the top of the sink. But it looks like with this video no. The pipes just make it all come together. This is a great video that I’m going to be using this weekend. The only tricky part is cutting the pipe because I don’t have a tool so I’m going to have to find a pipe that is short enough to fit.
you can use Bellows discharge pipe ,which is flexible to create siphon ;)
wow thank you 👍👍👍👍
Pretty thorough installation, but like to see how to do the drain inside the wall and how to install water supply using sharkbite
Helpfull video
good video except for the fact that you skipped the hardest part which is mounting and securing the sink....... i only saw you drill two holes in the wall but i didn't see you attach the sink to the wall.....(or did you decide to just place the sink on the base and leave it like that)
Good vid man thanks
Thank you
Even the home depot video did not actually show the bolting of the sink to the wall.
thanks
awesome vid..thanks a lot broskie..peace
+philliebluntsucka thanks man, glad it helped
thanks man, glad it helped
Couple notes: when you drill the lag screws or other screw you may use make sure you drilling into the center of the stud so you don't hit a water line. I use my drill with a small bit to find where the edges are on the wall so I know for sure where the center is. And just push the bit into the wall barely pass the thickness of the sheetrock.
And I also have my water key with me and know how to turn the water off in the street in case the SHTF, IE, angle stop doesn't close off cause it's broken. Had this happen recently while water is gushing out but good thing I was ready and ran out to the street to turn it off!
I like to use plumbers putty over caulking for the drain flange
That strap goes on both side of the pop up arm to secure it from sliding .
I noticed you didn’t show how you screwed the sink to the wall . I wanted to see how hard it was gonna be . Also , I wanted to see what you used to install those bolts into the wall .
yes....it seems that he has skipped the hardest part
Nice
good video
+JAIME RENDON thanks 🙏
thanx
Thanks for making this video for everyone to watch great break down and very well recorded. 5Stars
How do you do if the floor is not leveled? What can you put under the pedstal to make it even?
Nice...
It was very informative but you didn't show how to measure where to drill two holes for the lag
An 18.5" cabinet sink would have been a better fit for that tiny space, but thanks for showing a pedestal sink install
Why are so many details missing like tightening the sink to the wall?
Was the sink mounted to the studs, or did you have too block the wall?
Pedestal sinks are necessary for small bathrooms but difficult to service or replace faucets. Would you have put a conventional vanity in that spot if enough room?
I have a question : Can someone, please, tell me , what is Croton Insulation in bathrooms?
Thank you in advance !
Hello, do I need to drill screws or studs into floor tiles and wall tiles to attach pedestal and sink to floor tiles and wall tiles? Am afraid silicon shall not attach securely enough to floor and wall tiles. Please help. We are in middle of the job.
Thanks.
What do you do when you need to repair? Seems like you would have to remove the sink and work backwards
Hello everything was perfect but the only thing you didn't show were you put the bolts threw the sink to secure it to the wall.
I don't understand how you can attached that sink to the wall.
nice
Thanks Bishal, hope the video helped
What if there was no studs in the area where the holes were lined up with the sink?
You could add blocking if the drywall is open
How can you remove the handle of the faucet, ours is leaking when turned to the right(cold water)?
Best video I have seen on this topic. Was the pedestal base also attached to the floor?
thanks, no, I didn't attach it to the floor. This vanity is only used by my daughter and won't see a ton of abuse...at least I hope, haha. But I do bolt the vanity base to the floor for my rental
Was the pedestal already secured to the floor? I am curious how you went about securing that. Thanks!!! :)
The pedestal is not secured to the floor, ever. The sink is secured to the wall and the weight of the sink on the pedestal is enough (with the stability of the wall-mounted sink bowl on top of it) to keep the pedestal in place
what do the bolts look like? This is were I'm stuck
Any reason you skipped the lag bolt part on camera?
Excellent video, best one I've seen on RUclips on this subject! My only question is, how did you know how far out the p-trap should be from the wall to fit within the pedestal, and have the basin against the wall? I didn't see you measure anything, I would have thought you would have to do that before installing the pipe from the wall to the p-trap
Bulshit
Hello there I like your video. A few others asked this question and I cannot find a response from you so I will ask also. I need to know please how do you secure the pedestal to the floor?
lag screws with washers. 2" inch lag screws should work fine. But always follow the directions that came with the sink ;)
Thank you Mr. Patterson. :)
+Michael Filimon hope it helps
