Installing a drain in a vessel sink primarily involves using silicone sealant and properly tightening the drain components. Here's a breakdown:
-
Apply Silicone Sealant: Around the drain opening on the vessel sink, apply a bead of silicone sealant. This creates a watertight seal.
-
Insert the Drain: Insert the drain assembly into the drain opening of the vessel sink.
-
Secure the Drain: From underneath the sink, attach the necessary washers and tightening nut to secure the drain in place. Tighten firmly, but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the sink.
-
Clean Excess Silicone: Use a damp cloth to wipe away any excess silicone sealant that may have squeezed out during installation.
-
Allow to Dry: Let the silicone dry for the recommended time (typically 24 hours) before using the sink.
