Preparing for Installation

 

Before beginning any plumbing project, preparation is essential. We suggest gathering the necessary PVC fittings such as P-traps, elbows, couplings, and extension pipes. Measuring the sink height, drain outlet position, and wall junction helps determine the exact pipe lengths and required joints.

 

LESSO's PVC fittings come in various diameters and configurations, allowing installers to match each piece to the sink's layout. By ensuring all fittings fit correctly, we minimize adjustment time during installation.

 

How to Plumb Sink with PVC Fittings

 

1. Connect the Sink Drain Flange

Begin the installation by securing the drain flange to the sink. Once the flange and strainer are tightened, we attach the tailpiece, which connects directly to the PVC P-trap assembly.

 

2. Assemble the P-Trap Unit

The P-trap is essential for blocking odors and maintaining a sanitary environment. Using LESSO's PVC components, we align the U-bend and trap arm to ensure proper flow direction. Hand-tightening the compression nuts is usually sufficient, thanks to the smooth and precise fitting surfaces.

 

3. Position the Trap Arm to the Wall Outlet

Next, we adjust the trap arm to align with the wall drain outlet. PVC makes it easy to trim pipe sections to the right length if needed. Once aligned, we secure the connection using couplings or compression fittings.

 

4. Dry-Fit All Components Before Final Assembly

We always recommend a dry-fit test to confirm that all PVC fittings sit correctly without gaps or misalignment. This step helps avoid leaks and ensures the P-trap sits at the proper height.

 

5. Tighten All Connections

After confirming alignment, we tighten each nut and joint. LESSO's PVC plumbing solution offers consistent sealing performance, allowing the system to remain stable under daily use.

 

6. Test for Leaks

Finally, we run water through the sink and inspect all joints. PVC fittings create a dependable seal, and any minor adjustments are easily made if needed.
