There are some basic steps such as preparing the rough plumbing, soldering the pipe lines, installing a pop-up drain, leveling the basin, attaching the trap, and mounting the faucet. Firstly place your sink unit on the base and insure everything is level.

Mark the fitting holes of the sink while basin is on top of pedestal to prepare from drilling. Remove sink and continue to drill holes in marked area and install plugs to insure sink will be fitted correctly. Attach all plumbing fittings and place basin on top of pedestal again. Once all plumbing fixtures are in place you can then continue to insert screws to permanently secure the sink.

Before continuing in installing your own sink it would be wise to make sure you have all the necessary tools available to prevent headaches later on in the process. Many manufacturers offer a service included in the price for free installation as well as delivering the sink unit to your home.
