5. Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for installing your pedestal sink. Refer to the included hardware instructions for specific details.
5.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Ensure the floor is level and the wall is structurally sound to support the sink's weight.
- Confirm that water supply lines and drain rough-ins are correctly positioned according to local plumbing codes.
- Gather all necessary tools (e.g., wrench, drill, level, sealant).
5.2 Installation Steps
- Position the Pedestal: Place the pedestal in its desired location, ensuring it is centered and level.
- Place the Sink Bowl: Carefully lift the sink bowl and set it onto the pedestal. Align the drain opening with the floor drain.
- Mark Wall Mounting Points: With the sink bowl resting on the pedestal, mark the locations on the wall where the sink will be secured. The sink must be bolted to the wall for stability.
- Drill Holes and Install Anchors: Remove the sink bowl and pedestal. Drill appropriate holes at the marked locations and install suitable wall anchors (e.g., expansion bolts for tile/masonry, toggle bolts for drywall).
- Install Faucet and Drain: Install your chosen faucet (designed for 3-hole, 4-inch centerset configuration) and the pop-up drain assembly (not included) into the sink bowl according to their respective manufacturer's instructions. The sink features a standard 1.75-inch drain opening.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the faucet.
- Secure Sink to Wall: Place the sink bowl back onto the pedestal and align it with the wall anchors. Securely fasten the sink to the wall using the provided hardware. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Drain: Connect the drain assembly to your P-trap and wall drain.
- Seal Edges: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the back edge of the sink where it meets the wall to prevent water penetration.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check all connections for leaks.

7. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your HOMLYLINK Pedestal Sink.
7.1 Cleaning
- The smooth, non-porous vitreous china surface is easy to clean.
- Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap regularly.
- For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for ceramic or porcelain.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., strong acids or alkalis) as these can damage the glaze.
