Topic: Removing Bathroom sink? Posted: 25 Oct 2014 at 9:10am |

Travis, just a minor point for some of the newer models, including the 178. When I removed my sink, I left the p-trap in place and capped it. You can then swing the p-trap into the wall recess. Be sure to tighten the nut attaching the p-trap to the drain line. I chose this route to simplify the process should I decide to sell my pod and re-install the sink. This way there are no parts that may be misplaced over time.

Ahh, that's actually a good point. I'm not the type to keep things like that. Threw the sink away when I removed that, threw the stove away when I removed it. But, I also know that I'll never be selling our Pod as well so that makes it a much easier decision that way.
But yes, sliding it in like that is a great idea!!

What are you capping, besides the drain pipe? Or, what else did you circle there that looks capped?
You left your faucet with hot/cold attached, correct? I've imagined that the drain would be all I'd have to cap, and it appears in the photo that the hot/cold lines are still there and running up to, I presume since I can't see it the photo, the still-intact faucet and shower line. But I'm stumped by the other two lines I see in the photo.
I hate to make you spell this out, but I want to make sure I'm prepared when I go into this mod.
Thanks |
You only cap the drain pipe that's it. That is just a different picture I have to show a different procedure done in the sink area. So you'll just take off the p-trap and then you'll cap just the drain pipe that will then be just inside the wall.
Just FYI the other lines you see are the black tank flush mechanisms which are behind your sink.

Thanks for the response Sleepless. You are probably correct concerning introducing a potential leaking sink & drain above the power panel. What was I thinking? :)
