Scrub Sink Installation Guide: Mounting Methods & Utility Requirements
Rough-in specifications, mounting selection, and the coordination checklist contractors need before the scrub sink arrives on site.
Quick Answer
- Scrub sink installation needs DN15 water inlets, a DN50 drain with trap, and 220 V power for sensor faucets.
- Wall-mounted units require solid brick or reinforced concrete walls — confirm before wall construction.
- Rough-in positions must follow the supplier's installation CAD drawing, not generic assumptions.
- Standard installs are contractor-executable with drawings, manual, and remote video guidance.
Choosing the Right Mounting Method
Mounting drives structural requirements — settle it during wall design, not at fit-out.
| Method | Description | Best For | Structural Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wall-mounted | Unit hung on wall; floor clear for cleaning | New OR builds (mainstream) | Solid brick or reinforced concrete wall |
| Floor-standing | Load carried to floor | Triple stations, retrofits | Reserved floor drain position |
| Cabinet type | Integrated storage cabinet below | Clinics, wards, public areas | Standard wall and floor fixing |
Utility Rough-In Requirements
Four connections, all positioned per the installation drawing before wall finishing.
| Utility | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cold water inlet | DN15 (1/2") threaded | Rear or bottom entry |
| Hot water inlet | DN15 (1/2") threaded | Where a hot faucet is configured |
| Drain | DN50 (2") outlet | Center-bottom or rear; trap recommended |
| Power (sensor faucet) | 220 V / 50 Hz, 10 A socket | Position per installation drawing; omit for manual faucets |
Pre-Installation Coordination Checklist
Six checks before the unit ships to site prevent nearly all installation delays.
-
1
Confirm wall structure matches mounting method
Solid wall verified for wall-mount; floor drain reserved for floor-standing units.
-
2
Set rough-in positions from the supplier CAD drawing
Water, drain, and power positions vary by model — never rough-in from a generic template.
-
3
Verify wall opening and clearance dimensions
Check unit footprint against final wall finishes, adjacent casework, and door swings.
-
4
Pressure-test water lines before closing walls
Leaks behind a sealed scrub sink are costly to access after cleanroom wall panels close.
-
5
Confirm power circuit for sensor faucets
Dedicated 10 A circuit, positioned per drawing, compliant with wet-zone electrical requirements.
-
6
Plan delivery access and protection
Confirm corridor and door clearances for the assembled unit; keep protective packaging on until final fit-out stage.
Installation Documents & Support to Expect from a Supplier
A standard install should not require a factory engineer on site — if the documentation is right.
A complete installation package includes a bilingual installation manual (PDF), an installation CAD drawing (DWG) with water and electrical positioning, and a wall-mount schematic that can be handed directly to the site contractor. With these documents, a competent contractor completes a standard installation without factory presence; remote video guidance covers questions during fit-out, and on-site engineer support remains available for complex or multi-unit projects by arrangement.
