A family member has this fiberglass utility sink in their laundry room (please see pics). They said is freely moves back/forth and sideways. Water was leaking every time they use the sink. It was literally just "dropped in" and not clamped.to the counter in any way. The only thing that was trying to hold it in place was the drain connection! There were no mounting holes at the corners, no J or U channels underneath and no clamps or clips on the under-side. The only identification I could find is this number printed on the tub L010515-A16. A Google search on this number did not come up with anything. Sink is 22"x25", counter hole is 19-3/4"x22-3/4".
Looking for advice on how to clamp this. Thank you in advance.
You typically run a fine bead of silicone around that type of sink... about 1/4" wide. Caulk as quickly and neatly as you can then spritz it with rubbing alcohol (in a mist bottle) and get it wet, then with your finger and some paper towels, quickly tool it with your finger, leaving a decent amount of silicone around the perimeter.
Any excess silicone will wipe off easily. Wipe the excess alcohol off but try not to get into your neat bead of silicone with the paper towels.
A kitchen and bath silicone will work best as they will usually contain a mildewicide.
Hi. Someone I know is looking to replace their old fiberglass utility sink with stainless steel or other material. The counter top is granite and the existing cut out is 22-3/4" wide x 19-3/4" deep/long. I looked at a Mustee 10 22x25" sink and that will require a 23-3/4" wide x 20-3/4" deep cut out. I was planning to contact the manufacturers, but if someone knows a model could use the existing cut out, please let me know. Thank you.
20x23 is a common laundry room sink size.
Most 20x23 sinks will fit in that opening but the faucet end could cause an issue. 20x23 drop-in laundry sink
Hello,
We have a toilet that just does not flush effectively. I blame it, at least in part, on the offset closet flange that the contractor used when he installed the toilet around 12 years ago. The offset was needed to get around a floor joist.
It is a small bathroom, so we need a toilet that has a small footprint. There isn't much room between the front of the bowl and the tub/shower. The current toilet is an American Standard Cadet. The size is right, but we need something with a bit more "oomf" to the flush.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
I am remodeling my bathroom. I was looking at a tankless toilet. I have no experience with these types of toilets. Are they reliable for a older residential home? Do you need more water pressure to flush them? would you get a tank over a tankless toilet?
