How To Fit A Bathroom Vanity Sink Drain

Replacing or installing a new bathroom vanity sink drain is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few steps. By following these instructions, you can ensure that your new drain is properly installed and functioning correctly.

Before you begin, it is important to gather the necessary tools and materials. You will need a new sink drain, a wrench, a screwdriver, and a pair of pliers. You may also need to purchase plumbers putty or caulk to seal the drain.

Once you have gathered your materials, you can begin the installation process. Start by removing the old drain. To do this, simply unscrew the drain flange from the bottom of the sink. Be careful not to drop any of the screws into the drain.

Once you have removed the old drain, clean the area around the drain hole. Apply a thin bead of plumbers putty or caulk to the underside of the new drain flange. Then, screw the flange into the drain hole.

Next, insert the drain stopper into the flange. The stopper should fit snugly into the flange, but it should not be so tight that it is difficult to remove.

Finally, connect the P-trap to the drain flange. The P-trap is a U-shaped pipe that helps to prevent sewer gases from escaping into the bathroom. To connect the P-trap, simply slide the nuts onto the bolts that are attached to the drain flange. Then, tighten the nuts until the P-trap is secure.

Once you have installed the P-trap, turn on the water and check for leaks. If there are any leaks, tighten the nuts on the P-trap until the leaks stop.

Congratulations! You have now successfully installed a new bathroom vanity sink drain. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your new drain is properly installed and functioning correctly.
