What are the standards for securely installing kitchen sinks?

The kitchen sink should be accurately installed in the reserved position,matching the size of the cabinet opening.The gap between the edge of the sink and the edge of the cabinet opening should be uniform and consistent,with an error not exceeding the specified range.Generally,the gap is required to be around 3-5 millimeters,and the gap should be uniform.This can ensure both aesthetic installation and stable installation position of the sink.

High flatness

After the installation of the sink,its surface should be in a horizontal state,measured with a spirit level,and the error should not exceed±2 millimeters.If the surface of the sink is uneven,it can cause water to flow to one side,resulting in water accumulation and affecting the effectiveness of use.It may also accelerate local wear and corrosion of the sink.

Stable without shaking

Gently shake the sink with your hands.The sink should not have any obvious shaking or displacement,and it should be able to maintain stability when subjected to the weight and pressure of daily use,such as placing cookware or washing large items,without loosening or making abnormal noises.This indicates that the connection between the sink and the cabinet or mounting bracket is firm and reliable.

Well sealed

The connections between the sink and the countertop,as well as between the sink and the sewer pipe,should be tightly sealed.When using sealant for sealing,the adhesive strip should be uniform,continuous,and free of breaks or gaps.By injecting water into the sink,observe if there is any water leakage at the connection.If there is any leakage,it indicates that the seal is not tight and needs to be resealed to prevent water from leaking into the interior of the cabinet and causing damage.
