![]() View of the sink, showing rim the bracket could attach to, and additional 3/4" (19mm) holes for large bolts/screws to pass thru:Ī different manufacturer's method uses ''hanger bolts'' - if you don't have blocking, surely this can't work:Ī sink needs to be attached to studs, or, more often, to wood blocks that are attached to studs. The goal here is to secure the sink to the wall, so that it won't fall when people sit or lean on it. (b) I guess I need to fallback to toggle bolts or 'molly bolts', not hanger bolts or lag bolts. (a) I can't use my favorite kind of drywall anchor, since it needs to go through tile and If I don't find blocking in the wall where I drill the holes, then (2) Drill exploratory hole(s) in the tile using a diamond or carbide-tipped drill, and see if I find blocking. (1) 'Dry set' the sink and carefully mark the wall where holes should be. What are my next steps? I think they are: Now, it's too late: there is freshly installed tile in the way. I think the bracket was previously installed using ordinary screws, but I don't remember if there was blocking inside the wall or wall-anchors were used. The previous sink could be held up just by the wall bracket fastened to the wall - the pedestal was semi-decorative, only. I have access to a Kohler 64839 bracket - used by the previous sink in the same location which looks like it could work. They expect you to use "lag bolts" into the wall. ![]() Like this question, I have a 'Signature Hardware' pedestal sink to install, which does not come with a bracket.
