Assembling and Installing a Musty Laundry Sink

Hello and welcome. My name is Kerry and in my video today I'll be assembling and installing this musty laundry sink. Unboxed the sink comes with four legs, leveling feet, leveling hardware for the feet, a drain stopper, and a nut for the p-trap.

The sink doesn't come with a faucet so I bought this four inch spread laundry faucet to go with the sink. The faucet comes with supply lines, a plastic gasket, inlet nuts, and a hex wrench for cartridge removal. One feature I like about this faucet is that it has hose threads on the end of the spout that allows the garden hose to be connected to the faucet. To begin, I'll first take the sink and lay it on its top.

The ledge of the sink has drill points for different faucet spreads. My faucet has a 4 inch spread so I'll take my DeWalt cordless drill and drill a hole on each side of the center point with a 1 inch hole saw. When the holes are drilled, I'll place the sink on the cardboard it came in and push the four legs into the grooves on the bottom of the sink. Then I'll take a block of wood and with a hammer tap the block of wood to seat each leg. Next, I'll take the four leveling feet and install one foot into each leg with the screws and nuts provided.

When the feet are installed, I'll flip the sink upright and install the faucet. First I'll take the plastic gasket and place it over the holes on the ledge. Then I'll remove the supply covers and insert the faucet through the holes.

Next, I'll spin one mounting nut onto each inlet clockwise to secure the faucet to the sink. After installing the mounting nuts, I'll take the red stripe supply line and thread the half inch connecting nut clockwise onto the hot water inlet to the faucet. Then I'll repeat this step with the blue stripe supply line for the cold water inlet to the faucet. The connectors have rubber gaskets on the inside so I don't need thread tape on the threads of the inlets.

After the supply lines are installed, I'll move the sink into position by the washer dryer and connect the rest of the piping. First I'll thread the 3-8 compression nut from the supply line clockwise onto the fitting of the hot water supply valve. Then I'll repeat this step on the supply line for the cold water. Next I'll open each supply valve and check for leaks.

The last step is to connect the P-trap to the sink. Then turn the water on and check for leaks in the drain lines. Tools needed for this project are a hammer, drill, hole saw, adjustable wrench and a level for leveling the sink. Allow at least an hour for assembly and installation. More if you don't have the drain lines in place.

So that completes my video and thanks for watching.
