    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

    So you skip the part on how you tightened the lag screws when attaching the sink??? We all know that there was not enough space....

    Jesus is it this difficult to install a pedestal sink?

    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)

    I notice there is no actual demonstration or visual of you driving or tightening the lag bolts into the wall. THAT is the most frustrating part due to lack of space under the sink. That part is where im hung up....lol

  • @Thebros-uf3vk

    you skipped the hardest part which is to mount the sink to the wall with the limited space it gives you. You mentioned it then didn’t show it, i wonder why you would do that? any video i have ever watched does this. Are you not really doing it and just mentioning it? The limited space is the biggest problem why wouldn’t you address this?

    Sorry you didn't show how it looks underneath the sink. You failed to show what it should look like. Where's the shut offs should be. ,🤔

    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.

    Even the home depot video did not actually show the bolting of the sink to the wall.

    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!
