Features of the

design The waybill was named because of the way it was installed:

• The sink is laid like a countertop on the kitchen counter. In fact, this is the countertop, equipped with a bowl for washing dishes.

Important! It is impossible to operate an overhead sink without a kitchen cabinet, so they make up a whole in the interior of the kitchen.

• On three sides - front and sides, the sink has special sides for fixing on the pedestal.
• The rear wall, adjacent to the kitchen wall, has no side, and is equipped with an elevated edge to prevent water from flowing between the sink and the wall.

Important! Most often, the structure has a rectangular shape with rounded edges. Smoothed right angles facilitate the care of the sink, allow it to be kept clean.

• Sometimes the sink has two bowls. In addition to the sink, the overhead sink for the kitchen can be equipped with a table top connected to the bowl. It is convenient for storing dishes immediately after washing and for placing freshly washed fruits and vegetables. The surface of the table top is ribbed. It can be placed on the left or right side of the sink.
• Some models of overhead sinks are equipped with an emergency drain, which avoids overfilling the sink. There is an emergency drain in the back of the shell sink.

Important! The curbstone on which the sink is located is a furniture structure without a back wall and shelves. Often, the cabinet is used to place auxiliary equipment( trash can, bucket for washing floors, old pots).The curbstone is closed with a door. The surface imitates different materials: marble, ornamental stone, a tree of different varieties.

Are there any disadvantages?

The disadvantages of the overhead sinks include:

• Risk of denting.
• Noise in the fall of a water jet.
• The overhead sink does not hold the mixer properly.

Can I fix it?

• Noise at falling of water is characteristic for all metal designs: both mortise, and overhead. If you buy a design with a normal metal thickness( from 1 mm), the volume of extraneous sounds will be significantly reduced.
• This same rule must be followed and to prevent the formation of mechanical damages and dents.

Important! Sometimes buyers are dissatisfied with the lack of variety in the design of overhead sinks. But this accusation is completely groundless. Overhead devices are so budgetary that it's at least ridiculous to talk about the design of the kitchen.

Basic sizes

Surface sinks have standardized dimensions for the dimensions of kitchen cabinets. The most common size is 500 x 600 mm. The following variations are possible:

• 500 x 500 mm.
• 500 x 600 mm.
• 600 x 600 mm.
• 500 x 800 mm.
• 600 x 800 mm.

The length of the sink depends on whether there is a countertop:

• If the sink is equipped with a countertop, then its length reaches 800 mm.
• In the absence of a countertop, the length of the sink is 500 or 600 mm.

Important! The depth of the bowl can be 16, 18 or 19 cm. The most convenient option is washing with a bowl depth of 19 cm, because the spray of water falls less on clothes and walls.

How to install a stainless steel washer on the curb?- Procedure for

The waybill is installed in two stages:

• Assembling the pedestal.
• Mounting the sink.

How do I assemble the support cabinet?

Like all body furniture items, the pedestal under the sink is sold in disassembled form. In addition to the details, there are also mounting parts for the mounting: self-tapping screws and corners.

Important! Details of the curbstone are sheets of particleboard cut into certain sizes and treated edges.

Included.

• Sidewalls - 2 pcs.
• Bottom.
• Crags( cross members for structural rigidity) - 3 pcs.
• Doors - 2 pcs.
• Fittings kit( door handle and 4 hinges).

Assemble the cabinet with a screwdriver. The algorithm is as follows:

1. Disassemble the packaging, lay out the details on the floor.
2. Assemble the sidewalls of the structure and the front rims. In the beginning - the lower, and then - the upper karga, is screwed on the corners to the side walls.
3. Attach the bottom so that its edge is placed on top of the front lower shroud. The bottom is fixed both to the bottom crochet and to the sidewalls.
4. Fit the rear fender.

Important! Doors on the cube are hung after the overhead sink is installed on top of the curb.

How to fix a stainless steel washer on the curb?

Before installing the sink, install a mixer, drain and a set of connecting pipes.

Important! If this complicates the installation, you can do the same in another way: install the tap and drain the last.

How to proceed:

1. Turn the sink upside down and apply a silicone sealant around the perimeter( in the places where the sink is supported on the walls of the curbstone).
2. Place a rubber gasket over the sealant layer. Lubricate the sealant again.
3. Turn over the sink. Put it on the upper front keeper and the sidewalls.
4. Fix the sink with screws internally.

We connect the sink to the water pipe

The end of the installation is to connect the water supply:

• The use of flexible connecting hoses greatly increases the convenience of installation work.
• The drain and the drain pipe are connected by a corrugated hose.
• For connection to cold and hot water supply, flexible hoses in braiding or flexible pipes made of metal-plastic can be used.

Important! Experts advise using metal plastic. This connection is more durable and reliable than flexible hoses.

Installing the doors

To smoothly hang the doors:

1. Screw the hinges to the doors.
2. Then attach the doors to the sidewall, marking the location of the hinges with chalk.
3. Screw the doors in turn, checking the correct positioning of the hinges and matching them with the chalk mark.

After the installation of the washbasin is completed, you can fully appreciate the convenience of the assembled structure.

The ultimate estimate of the

washer So, if we take as a basis a five-point system, we arrive at the following conclusions.

• Availability of the price - 5 points.
• Practicality and functionality - 5 points. If necessary, the structure can be disassembled and moved to another location.
• Comfort - 4 points, because there is a risk of water flowing between the wall and the sink).
• Reliability in use is also a solid "five".
• Appearance. In this respect, the overlaid devices lose a bit mortise, so - 4 points.

As you can see, the advantages of the superimposed design are much greater than the minuses. For a family with an average income level - this is the optimal solution.
