This document provides installation instructions for Swiss Madison Two Piece Pedestal Sinks, designed to offer a well-made and aesthetically pleasing addition to any bathroom. The sinks are characterized by their two-piece construction, consisting of a basin and a pedestal, which together create a freestanding unit. This design not only provides a classic and elegant look but also conceals plumbing, contributing to a clean and uncluttered bathroom environment. The installation process is outlined in a step-by-step manner, ensuring that users can properly set up their new sink with confidence.
The primary function of these pedestal sinks is to provide a functional and stylish handwashing station. The basin is designed to hold water for washing, while the pedestal supports the basin and hides the necessary plumbing connections, such as the water supply lines and the trap. This integrated design is a hallmark of pedestal sinks, offering a more refined appearance compared to wall-mounted or vanity-style sinks where plumbing might be exposed. The sinks are intended for residential use, enhancing the aesthetic and utility of bathrooms.
Key usage features of the Swiss Madison Two Piece Pedestal Sinks revolve around their design and ease of integration into various bathroom styles. The freestanding nature means they do not require a countertop, making them ideal for smaller bathrooms or for those seeking a minimalist design. The basin provides ample space for daily handwashing and other personal hygiene tasks. While the faucet is not included with the sink, the design accommodates standard faucet installations, allowing users to customize their sink with a faucet that matches their personal style and existing bathroom fixtures. The durable ceramic construction ensures longevity and resistance to common wear and tear associated with daily bathroom use.
The installation process is a crucial aspect of the device's usage. Before beginning, it is essential to inspect the sink for any damages that may have occurred during shipping. All local plumbing and building codes must be observed to ensure a compliant and safe installation. The instructions emphasize the importance of proper wall and floor preparation to prevent damage to the product and ensure a secure fit. General recommendations include thoroughly reading the installation and maintenance instructions, using proper tools, and wearing personal safety accessories. For optimal results and to avoid potential liabilities, Swiss Madison recommends hiring a licensed professional for installation.
The installation begins with marking the height of the sink on the wall. This involves placing the sink in its final location and using a pencil to mark the desired height. The next step, "Mounting The Sink," details how to secure the basin to the wall. This involves drilling two holes into the wall using a 14mm masonry drill bit to a depth of 75mm, then inserting wall plugs into these holes. Fixing bolts are then screwed into the wall plugs using an 8mm spanner until the spanner contacts the wall. The basin is then positioned against the wall, aligning the fixing bolts with the holes in the rear of the basin. A plastic washer, followed by a metal washer, is placed onto each fixing bolt, and finally, a metal nut is screwed onto each bolt to secure the basin. A critical caution is provided: do not over-tighten the nuts, as this may damage the ceramic. The instructions also note that the provided fixings are suitable for solid walls only, and plasterboard or stud walls may require specialist fixings not supplied. Users are also warned to take care when drilling to avoid concealed wires or pipes.
After the basin is secured, the "Attach Plumbing" step involves setting the sink into the mounting bracket, installing the faucet (not included), most of the trap, and connecting the supply lines. This step is crucial for the sink's functionality, ensuring proper water supply and drainage. Following this, the "Install Pedestal" step instructs users to slide the pedestal into place, positioning it beneath the basin to provide support and conceal the plumbing. The final step, "Secure Into place," involves bolting the pedestal to the floor and screwing the sink into the wall. Again, a note of caution is provided: be careful not to tighten too much, as this risks cracking the ceramic. This dual securing method ensures the stability and safety of the entire unit.
Maintenance features for these pedestal sinks are straightforward, primarily focusing on keeping the ceramic clean. The smooth, non-porous surface of ceramic is generally easy to wipe down with standard bathroom cleaners. Regular cleaning will help maintain its pristine appearance and prevent the buildup of soap scum or hard water stains. The durable nature of ceramic also means it is resistant to scratches and chips under normal use, contributing to its long-term aesthetic appeal. The design, with the pedestal concealing plumbing, also means less exposed surface area for dust and grime to accumulate on pipes, simplifying overall bathroom cleaning.
The product comes with a One Year Limited Warranty, underscoring Swiss Madison's commitment to quality. This warranty covers defects in materials or craftsmanship under regular use for the first year of purchase, offering replacement parts or, at the company's option, replacement of the defective product or part. This warranty applies only to the original purchaser and requires proof of purchase for any claims. The warranty is voided if installation recommendations are not followed, if the product is moved from its initial installation place, if it's modified, or if it's subjected to improper maintenance, abuse, misuse, excessive use of chemicals, accidents, or other damages. This highlights the importance of proper installation and care for the longevity and warranty coverage of the sink.
In summary, the Swiss Madison Two Piece Pedestal Sinks are designed for elegant and functional handwashing in residential bathrooms. Their two-piece construction, ease of installation (with proper tools and adherence to instructions), and durable ceramic material make them a practical and stylish choice. The emphasis on proper installation and care, supported by a clear warranty policy, ensures that users can enjoy their sink for many years to come.
