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.

MethodDescriptionBest ForStructural Requirement
Wall-mountedUnit hung on wall; floor clear for cleaningNew OR builds (mainstream)Solid brick or reinforced concrete wall
Floor-standingLoad carried to floorTriple stations, retrofitsReserved floor drain position
Cabinet typeIntegrated storage cabinet belowClinics, wards, public areasStandard wall and floor fixing
Contractor warning: Wall-mounted scrub sinks cannot be fixed to hollow partition walls or standard drywall without engineered backing. Where the scrub room uses stud partitions, either cast a concrete backing panel, specify an engineered support frame, or switch to a floor-standing unit.

Utility Rough-In Requirements

Four connections, all positioned per the installation drawing before wall finishing.

Hot water inletDN15 (1/2") threadedWhere a hot faucet is configured
DrainDN50 (2") outletCenter-bottom or rear; trap recommended
Power (sensor faucet)220 V / 50 Hz, 10 A socketPosition per installation drawing; omit for manual faucets
Coordination note: The scrub area sits on the boundary between the clean corridor and the OR. Route drainage to avoid penetrating the OR envelope where possible, and coordinate the power point with the room's equipotential bonding and IP-rating requirements for wet zones.

Pre-Installation Coordination Checklist

Six checks before the unit ships to site prevent nearly all installation delays.

  • Confirm wall structure matches mounting method

    Solid wall verified for wall-mount; floor drain reserved for floor-standing units.

  • Set rough-in positions from the supplier CAD drawing

    Water, drain, and power positions vary by model — never rough-in from a generic template.

  • Verify wall opening and clearance dimensions

    Check unit footprint against final wall finishes, adjacent casework, and door swings.

  • Pressure-test water lines before closing walls

    Leaks behind a sealed scrub sink are costly to access after cleanroom wall panels close.

  • Confirm power circuit for sensor faucets

    Dedicated 10 A circuit, positioned per drawing, compliant with wet-zone electrical requirements.

  • 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.
