The sink pipe belongs to the "invisible person" and is often hidden in a place where the bathroom cabinet cannot be seen, but its importance cannot be ignored, and it must be of good quality and durable, otherwise, it will face the problem of frequent replacement, which will be very troublesome. People have a headache. So before you buy, you must know how many kinds of water pipes are there in the basin? How to install the water pipes under the basin?
1 Basin water pipes are classified by material
①Plastic sewer pipe: This type of sewer pipe is usually made of high-quality PP plastic, which can be bent at will, has good toughness, is almost free from space constraints, and is cheap.
②Stainless steel sewer pipe: Stainless steel is the appearance. In fact, most of these sewer pipes are made of stainless steel and ABS engineering plastic, which has the characteristics of strong corrosion resistance, not easy to age, easy to install, fast and durable, and long service life. Plastic sink pipes are slightly more expensive.
2 Basin sewer pipes are classified by shape
①Linear downpipes: The straight downpipes are all designed and manufactured in a "one" shape, and most of the surfaces are designed with corrugations, so that they can be bent at will and reduce the constraints of space.
②S-shaped downpipe: This type of basin downpipe is commonly known as the deodorant downpipe. It has a beautiful shape and also has a water ripple design on the surface. Compared with the straight downpipe, the bendability of the S-shaped downpipe can be ignored.
In fact, installing the basin drain pipe is a very simple matter. Installing the basin drain pipe is generally the last step after the basin drainer and the basin are installed and fixed, and it is also the last step in the entire basin installation process. Specific steps are as follows:
1. Make sure that the basin and the basin drain are installed;
2. Unpack the purchased washbasin water pipe;
3. One end of the basin drain pipe is specially connected to the basin drain, and the plastic head of this end is unscrewed;
4. Screw the unscrewed plastic head to the basin drainer;
5. Put the basin drain pipe on the basin drainer, and tighten it with the plastic head screwed on the drainer in advance;
6. Drain the water to test whether there is water leakage. If there is leakage, wrap the raw material tape at the connection between the drain and the drain pipe first, and then go to the fifth step.
The above content is my introduction to the lower water pipe of the opposite basin and the installation method of the lower water pipe of the basin. For the whole basin, the one that is prone to problems is the lower water pipe of the basin, so everyone must check it frequently during use.
