What is a flush wash 80 by 60 and how to install it

Surface wash 800x600 mm on the market of the then Soviet Union appeared one of the first. But, despite such old age and the emergence of a huge number of competitors, stainless steel sink 600x800 mm, to this day has not lost its popularity. There are several secrets here and we will now talk about them.

Key Features and Benefits

One of the secrets of the popularity of this type of kitchen plumbing is that the most optimal width of the countertop is 600 mm. This size was derived experimentally, and a deviation in any direction will already bring some inconvenience in operation.

What is such a plumber

Actually the name itself, laid-on sink 60 by 80 cm, comes from the fact that such a sink is applied and fixed on top of the cabinet. Curbstone under the sink 60x80 cm, as a rule, comes specialized and is sold in a single set with a stainless steel sink.

Important: for the sake of justice, it should be noted that now the kitchen sink 60x80 is also available in a modern, more progressive and original design. But such bowls are already crashing into the tabletop. Accordingly, these models go without a stand and are mounted a little differently.

In this article we will talk about the classical design, in which the sink and nightstand to it are combined into a single whole. A common feature of the classic shell of this type is the presence of sides from three sides, sides and near cut.

Thanks to these sides, the sink becomes a self-sufficient object, it does not need a tabletop, the sink itself is the tabletop. In addition, these same sides are used for fixing the metal part on the cabinet.

At the far end, bordering the wall, such plumbing has a curved up bar. This constructive solution is very successful, thanks to the plank, the gap between the sink and the wall is raised higher and the water practically does not fall into it.

Surface wash 800 to 600, always produced in several standard versions. The most common is considered to be a table top, which has one rectangular bowl with rounded edges and a grooved wing, for placing wet dishes or vegetables. This model can be issued both with the right arrangement of a bowl, and with left.

Also available tabletop with two rectangular identical bowls for sinks. As a rule, it is installed in homes with large families, where the load on the sink is much higher. In the modern version, such a metal tabletop can have one large bowl for basic work, as well as a small tray for defrosting meat and a wing of the same size for wet dishes.

Tip: when choosing it is better to take the bowl, which provides protection from overflow. In the upper part of the bath there is a hole connected to the drain. Its price is not much higher, but the probability of flooding the neighbors from below is close to zero.

Curbstone under a sink 60х80, also represents the three-sided structure equipped with two lateral sides and doors from the face. The side plates are interconnected by three transverse crossbars, two of which are mounted on top and bottom of the front part. The third is installed opposite, in the middle of the structure from the side of the wall.

Briefly about the shortcomings

Important: almost all the drawbacks attributed to this plumbing, are products with a metal thickness of less than 1 mm. Often, such goods are supplied by our Chinese friends or handicraft workshops of the local spill.

• Surface wash 800600, having a relatively large area, makes a lot of noise when the faucet is turned on. This is true, but this disadvantage is common to all bowls made of sheet metal. Again, the thicker the metal, the less noise there will be.
• Some complain about the impossibility of a strong fixing of the mixer, it is constantly reeling. Obviously, this disadvantage is characteristic of thin metal. The sheet thickness from 1 mm and more, any mixer will firmly hold.
• And finally, complaints about the appearance of dents, 100% belong specifically to a thin sheet. To bend a stainless steel thicker than 1 mm will require remarkable physical abilities.

How to assemble a car wash

The laid on washing 80х60, gathers in two stages. At first the going curbstone is assembled.

As a rule, detailed instructions and relevant accessories are included in the kit. You will need a screwdriver or at least a cross-head screwdriver. Although if you have an open water supply and sewage system, then a handsaw will also come in handy for cutting out the grooves under the pipes.

Experienced masters advise to immediately install a mixer and a siphon on the bowl. Actually there will be no mistake if you install these parts later, but it is quite problematic to fix the siphon and the mixer in the narrow space of the bollard, and even trying to crawl from below.

When the dresser is assembled and the mixer with a siphon stand, you can proceed to the installation of the bowl itself. The metal part is fixed by four clips, each of which clings to the screw. Screws are screwed at a distance of 10 - 15 mm from the top edge, on the inside of the side racks.

On the metal part on three sides, a sealant is applied around the perimeter, preferably silicone. After that, the gasket is pressed. The sealant should also be applied to the upper section of the drawer and connect the sink to the drawer.

The final step is to install and fix the clamps. Extruded sealant is removed with a paper towel.
