This document provides installation instructions for a Duravit washbasin, a professional-grade product designed for bathroom use. The washbasin's primary function is to provide a basin for washing hands and performing other hygiene tasks. It is intended for installation in residential or commercial bathrooms.
The Duravit washbasin is a ceramic fixture that serves as the primary component of a handwashing station. It is designed to be connected to a water supply and drainage system, allowing for the flow of water for washing and its subsequent removal. The washbasin can be installed in two main configurations: mounted on a pre-wall carrier or directly into a wood stud wall, or with a pedestal.
When installed on a pre-wall carrier or into a wood stud wall, the washbasin is secured directly to the wall using mounting bolts. This configuration provides a clean, minimalist look and allows for easy cleaning underneath the basin. For wood stud walls, adequate bracing, such as doubled 2x6s or 2x8s, is recommended to create a solid anchoring point for the mounting bolts. The washbasin specification sheet provides details on recommended mounting heights and hole locations, which can be adjusted to personal preference.
Alternatively, the washbasin can be installed with a pedestal. In this setup, the pedestal supports the washbasin from below, concealing the plumbing connections and providing a more traditional aesthetic. The washbasin is still secured to the wall with mounting bolts, and the pedestal is carefully aligned underneath to support the basin.
The washbasin is designed to accommodate a faucet and a trap assembly, which are installed according to their respective manufacturer's instructions. Shut-off valves are also installed to control the water supply to the faucet. Once all components are installed, the system is tested for leaks and proper water flow.
The Duravit washbasin is designed for everyday use in a bathroom environment. Its ceramic construction provides a durable and easy-to-clean surface. The basin's shape and depth are optimized for comfortable handwashing and to minimize splashing.
For wall-mounted installations, the design allows for an open space beneath the basin, which can be beneficial for accessibility or to create a more spacious feel in the bathroom. The option to adjust the mounting height allows for customization to suit the user's needs and preferences.
When a pedestal is used, it offers a classic and elegant appearance, concealing the plumbing and providing a sturdy base for the washbasin. The leveling feature, facilitated by white plastic sleeves, ensures that the washbasin sits evenly and securely, preventing wobbling or instability during use.
The washbasin is compatible with various faucet and trap assemblies, allowing users to choose components that match their aesthetic preferences and functional requirements. The installation process includes steps to ensure all connections are leak-tight, providing a reliable and long-lasting fixture.
The Duravit washbasin is designed for straightforward maintenance. Its smooth ceramic surface is non-porous and resistant to stains, making it easy to wipe clean with standard bathroom cleaners. Regular cleaning helps maintain its appearance and hygiene.
The installation instructions emphasize the importance of proper sealing, particularly around the washbasin edges with silicone, to prevent water ingress and potential damage to the surrounding wall or vanity. This sealing contributes to the longevity of the installation and reduces the need for extensive maintenance.
In the event of plumbing issues, the design allows for access to the faucet and trap assembly for repairs or replacements. For pedestal installations, the ability to gently lift the front of the washbasin allows for access to the mounting bolts and plumbing connections underneath, facilitating any necessary adjustments or maintenance.
The use of white plastic sleeves during installation not only protects the china from the metal bolts but also allows for slight adjustments in height, which can be useful for leveling the washbasin over time or if minor settling occurs. This feature simplifies any future adjustments that might be needed to maintain the washbasin's stability and levelness.
Overall, the Duravit washbasin is designed for durability, ease of use, and minimal maintenance, ensuring a reliable and aesthetically pleasing addition to any bathroom.
