Pedestal Sink Drain Height

This is the graduate school of do it yourself projects trethewey says.

Pedestal sink drain height. For all their stylish attributes pedestal sinks present some installation challenges. The countertop and cabinet are going away but shelving or recessed medicine cabinets can compensate for some lost cabinet space. The drain line connects to the sink via a p trap a curved piece that prevents sewer gas from entering the bathroom and a tailpiece a straight piece that extends from the sink drain to the trap in most cases a standard tailpiece is the right length to reach from the sink to the trap but in the case of a high drain line or an unusually low sink the tailpiece can be cut to fit. Decide whether you can live without the storage space of a vanity cabinet.

Drain and supply pipes must be roughed in at the right height. Completed pipe work has to look neat. Also matching the sink to the proper level on the wall and the exact height of the pedestal requires precise measurements. To get these rough in dimensions make a sketch of the wall and note the following measurements.
