Hello
I would like to install the following porcelain sink. Can someone tell me how the installation is supposed to work? The sink has no holes for screws, but rather a kind of recess for a hanging bracket (see pictures). I can’t find anything suitable for mounting it anywhere. Thank you very much for your tips!

White porcelain plate with logo 'Porcelaines Champs-Elysées' and round hole opening.


White basin with central drain thread, lying on wooden floor.


White sanitary base with inner tray, lying flat on floor in front of wooden wall.

Washbasins fixed with stud anchors and measuring 1m (3.3 feet) or more are usually supported at only two points, or do you have additional supports underneath them? 🙂

No, but the basin fits perfectly against the wall, and between the basin and the wall there is a large metal plate providing a proper, wide support surface. At least that’s how it is with my washbasin.

When I compare my double washbasin with those two hooks, which mostly support the load at just small points rather than pressing the entire basin flat against the wall... well, then I do have some concerns. But as I said, it’s just a feeling since I have no practical experience with washbasins. I only know my own basins.

Of course, there is support underneath, it’s called a vanity cabinet 😀
But it is still wall-mounted :p

Hello,
they should actually hold, I trained as a GWS technician in the late 1970s.
Back then, there were still a few types of brackets, either tabs or alternatively cast iron brackets.

What kind of profession is GWS? :-)

Gas, water plumb...
Near Hannover, there is a plumbing company that has the slogan: "Gas, water, beautiful baths" on their company vehicles.

By the way:
Very important! Tighten screws and nuts very carefully, never overtighten.
When I built my bathroom, I broke a washbasin because of this and got complaints from the foreman.
