Bathroom Sink Plumbing: How to install a bathroom sink - In this section of Home Improvement, I explain Bathroom Sink Plumbing and How to install a bathroom sink.

Installing Bathroom Sink: To install a bathroom sink, you may need pipes for roughing in the bathroom sink including hot and cold supply stubouts, shutoff valves, transition fittings, and flexible tubing for above the shutoff valves. You will also need some essential home DIY tools.

While installing a bathroom sink, make sure there is enough space between the sink and the toilet tank.

A bathroom sink normally has two fixture holes on either 4-, 6- or 8-inch centers. The wider types are meant to receive a split-set faucet, with faucet handles separate from the spout. The 4- or 6-inch holes may receive a center set or a single-lever faucet. Pop-up stoppers move up and down to open or close sink drains.

Here is how to install a bathroom sink.
