Sink for sink

The drain for the sink is an essential element for its installation. It performs important functions, namely: protects the room from the smell of sewerage and prevents clogging of the pipe with solid particles that penetrate through the hole in the sink.

How does the sink drain work?

The design of the sink for the sink consists of the following parts:

• curved siphon;
• Sewage pipe.

When the water flushes, the liquid enters the siphon, passes through the bend, rises up the bent knee, and then sinks down into the common drain. The water remains in the lower part of the bent knee. This contributes to the formation of a water seal, which does not allow the penetration of odors into the room. In addition, in the knee part of the pipe there are small objects and solid particles that can get into the sink. To remove them, this part of the pipe is periodically removed and cleaned.

Diameter of sink draining

Depending on the diameter of the sink drain, the siphon openings have the following dimensions:

• 32 mm - designed for single-hole washbasins and small-diameter sewage pipes. This is the most common option;
• 40 mm - designed for sewer pipes of large dimensions.

Overflow for sink

Recently, the plum sinks with the overflow system have become very popular. The advantage of such designs is that the water does not go beyond the edges of the shell. A special overflow hole is installed at a certain level. Previously, drain-overflow was used in the bathrooms, but then they were spread to the shells.

Flat sink for sink

In the case where the sink needs to be installed above the washing machine, as a rule, it has a flat shape. This saves space and is the most suitable option in this case.

Such a shell, which has the name "water lily" , should have a special flat sink. It should go in a complete set, as to pick it up separately is almost impossible.

In addition, the "water lily" is a shell with side drain. Its peculiarity is that the water outlet is located on the side, not on the bottom. This can cause some inconvenience, since the water may not drain completely. To avoid blockages of the siphon, it will be necessary to remove the liquid by yourself, dipping it with a cloth.

If you are willing to put up with these shortcomings, this will allow you to free up extra space in the bathroom.

Thus, the choice of sink for the sink should be given special attention, as it will ensure the effective operation of the system.
