Installing corner sink base cabinet

Although these were 2. Our corner sink cabinet is a homemade job circa or so but it essentially looks the same as yours — plywood base, cabinet front attached to the adjacent cabinets, open to the drywall at the back, wood brackets at the back to support counter. Seeing as how ours has lasted all these years, I bet yours will too. I have a very similar setup to this and am curious. How did you run your water and drain lines for your dishwasher?

Thank you for sharing this with the community. I am not sure what the mystery pieces are for but I used them to hold the toe-kick. I placed the toe kick in place prior to installing the base of course, then I placed the mystery pieces behind the toe-kick and screwed them onto the floor through the pre-drilled holes while flushed against the back of the toe-kick.

I then removed the toe-kick and continued with installing the base. After I installed the base, I installed the toe-kick and drilled it to the mystery pieces.

Get this. Should you have needed a spacer — meaning a gap between either the left or right cabinet box. You would use those blocks on the inside of the spacer peice to give the bottom integrity.

Why is there two you say. I say an extra — not usual but I like that idea! Why the holes- simply allows you to drill into the subfloor or concrete depending on your area and methods. That is our guestimate. This is an older post, so I hope you see it. I need a similar setup with a corner sink base cabinet.

Thanks so much! Great post and info! My husband and I just had our cabinets delivered and thought we were going crazy! At least I have a better idea of what is going on now! Thank you! Drop the sink into the hole and test it for fit. If it won't drop all the way down flush, use a coarse-grit file to smooth and remove any deviations in your cut line.

Test and fit until the sink fits snugly into the hole. Place the sink across two sawhorses. Install the faucet and the strainers on the sink now.

If the water lines inside the cabinet have not been installed, put them on now. Use flexible water lines for efficiency. The laminate should now be installed on the countertop and the sink hole routed out. Run a bead of plumber's putty around the inside lip of the sink. The sink should be upside down. Drop the sink into the hole and press down hard to compress the putty as much as possible.

Reach inside the cabinet and install the metal clips that came with the sink when you purchased it. One side of the clip hooks over a metal lip on the bottom of the sink, and one side hooks under the countertop.

The side that hooks under the countertop has a Phillips screw on it. Space all of the clips provided evenly under the sink. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws as hard as possible. Screw the water lines to the bottom of the faucet. This happens when the laminate is imperfectly glued.

To test, cut a bit in the middle of the waste section. If you can't cut from the underside, "downcut" jigsaw blades are available. When you're about to finish the sink cutout, support the waste, so it doesn't fall and splinter the last little bit of the cut.

And my 2 cents worth on corner sinks I liked the idea of them until I actually tried one. Just my opinion, though. Sign up to join this community.

Corner sink installation in corner lazy susan cabinets Ask Question. Asked 6 years, 10 months ago. Active 6 years, 10 months ago. Viewed 4k times. The current corner cabinet we have has a lazy susan built in, but has square walls, as below: The other one we may pick up tonight is the sort that has the cylindrical wall on the inside, like this: So, two questions: 1 Which base cabinet should I attempt to install the sink in?

Unless you have a square sink with a cut-out for the interior corner, that seems like an very awkward placement for usability. From what you have written it kind of sounds like you are expecting to maintain the existing internal functionality of these corner cabinets.
