How can I modify the sink on the below pictures so that a faucet can be installed? Someone suggested welding a metal plate under the sink and drilling through it. Is there a simpler approach that does not require welding?
if you are using a 3 hole faucet, I would try to use a metal plate underneath with appropriate holes for the faucet. most faucets that I have seen have plenty of length on the threads to support a 1/8' plate below the sink. The mounting plate for the faucet should provide support on the topside but you can always use a matching support plate on the top as well. won't be beautiful but it will work.
I think you will have problems with leaking if you install a faucet. Yes, a steel plate on the underside could allow you to mount the faucet. Missing will be the sealing that keeps water from getting underneath the faucet and dripping into the cabinet below. So, while you might get the faucet installed you may have rotten cabinets to deal with in the future.
Hard to tell how flat the mount area is.
Google "large mount plate kitchen"
Then you should be able to use a single hole faucet etc.
You mat still need to make a lower/under plate
Asfar as sealing. Place the plate where it has to go and mark it's perimeter. The a small bead of calk on the line/mark. Then set the plate into the calk and clean up the outside edge.
Might be best to let this set before mounting the new faucet.
The bathroom faucet I like at Lowes happens to be a commercial grade one. I didn't look through enough (their website is less than moderately helpful), but it seems the 2.2 GPM are only commercial (I'd like to have something that is moderately useful). I'm just wondering if there is any problem with using a commercial grade faucet in my residence. Of course, I would get a sink with an 8'' handle span that matches the 8'' rating of the faucet. So, using a commercial faucet at home - will it work?
Towel rack coming out of the wall and I can’t figure out how to remove it without pulling it out by force and damaging the drywall. Any suggestions appreciated. I’ve twisted it every way possible.
