If i remember, i'll post a picture. Oh, nice, it's removable. That's easy then. Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Who’s ever mounted a sink to the wall before? Because I don’t want to build something to support a 75 lb cast iron sink if I don’t want to, but I don’t know if I trust some L brackets to hold it.

Yeah an L bracket isn't going to hold a 75 lb sink. Does the sink come with manufacturers instructions on how to mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually you would use angle iron or open the wall to mount studs to hang it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it’s a cast iron sink from 1912. 1 hour ago, Incarcerated_Scarface said: Usually you would use angle iron or open the wall to mount studs to hang it. We did both, just to be sure. The wall mounting studs that were available just didn’t look trustworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 wall mounted sinks always, always, always must make use of their accompanying wall bracket. you can't substitute something else, unless you basically make a duplicate bracket.

Finally had time this weekend to get all the pieces cut and installed. Now to procrastinate on the mudding (probably start later this week).

Well, since the sink is 107 years old, there wasn’t an accompanying bracket in the box. We doubled it up, and bolted it to the studs in two places, with liquid nails for good measure. It’s secure now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, if i screw it up too bad, i can just cut it out another 6" to either side and then hire someone out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
