Installing sink drain pipe

Before you start, it’s imperative that you have the fitting tools and materials for plumbing an in-sink drain pipe. That means collecting everything you’ll need, so the work runs smoothly. For this project, you’ll need a wrench to tighten things, some plumber’s putty to seal gaps and, of course, the new Zhongsu sink drain plumbing itself. When you have everything in place for your final project you can start the installation process without hold-ups. 


Take out the Old Drain Pipe: The first thing that needs to be done is to remove the old drain pipe. To perform this step, you’ll loosen with your wrench the nuts that are securing the pipe in place. These nuts can be a little tough, so you may need to apply some force. Once they are free, gently remove the old pipe. Be careful — you don’t want to break anything else under the sink. 

Be Ready with Plumber's Putty: Next, roll a little bit of plumber's putty into a long, snake like shape. This putty is very critical as it aids in a sealing action. Push this putty around the opening in the sink, where the new drain pipe will enter. This step is important because it will ensure that after you add the new pipe to the sink, there are no leaks from it. 

Tips and tricks for a successful sink drain pipe installation

Insert the New Drain Pipe: Now you will take your new drain pipe and slide it into the opening. But it is extremely important that it is correctly aligned, so the water can easily flow through it. Once you’re confident that it’s in the correct position, then use your wrench to tighten the nuts. This will hold the drain pipe in place to prevent it moving which could lead to DHW side leaks down the line. 

Connecting The Drain Pipe: After that, you must connect the drain pipe to the plumbing running under the sink. The procedure may include connecting it to other components such as the P-trap or the tailpiece. Ensure that all the connections are adjusted tightly. Once more work out your wrench to get all of the above tightened up and secure. This step is particularly crucial; leaky connections are the bane of our existence and something we'd like to avoid.
