A built-in basin faucet can give your bathroom a modern and trendy look. However, installing a built-in basin faucet requires professional expertise and a very precise approach. Below, you'll find helpful explanations and information to guide you through the installation process and the parts you'll need to complete the final installation.

What are the parts of a built-in washbasin tap?

Before you begin installation, it's important to know what components a built-in basin faucet consists of. Generally, a built-in basin faucet consists of:

• The spout of the tap (mouth)
• A built-in part for installation in the wall
• One or two handles to regulate the water temperature and strength
• Fastening materials
• Sealing rings
• A finishing part, if applicable, depending on the specific model and brand

What do you need for installation?

• Spirit level
• Pencil
• Drill with suitable drill bits
• Open-end wrenches or an adjustable wrench
• Teflon tape
• Possibly a pipe cutter

Preparation

Before you start installing the built-in washbasin tap, it is important to make the following preparations:

• Turn off the water: Make sure the water is turned off before beginning installation.
• Remove old faucet: If an old tap is present, remove it carefully.
• Check the packaging: Make sure you have all the parts and the necessary tools at hand.

Step-by-step plan

Step 1: Determine desired height

How high should you place a built-in faucet above the sink? A general guideline is about 15 cm from the top edge of the sink. This provides ample space for washing hands and prevents splashing. Use a spirit level and a pencil to mark the position on the wall.

Step 2: Install the built-in part

Place the built-in unit on the wall according to the markings. Use the drill to drill the mounting holes and secure the unit with the supplied screws and wall plugs. It's important to consider the required installation depth beforehand.

Step 3: Connect the pipes

After securely fastening the built-in unit, it's time to connect the hot and cold water lines. Use ½" half-inch fittings and ensure they are securely fastened with Teflon tape.

Step 4: Test water tightness

Once the built-in unit is securely attached and the pipes are connected correctly, it's important to test the faucet for leaks. Carefully check that the hot and cold water pipes are connected correctly and that no water is leaking.

Step 5: Finishing

Once everything is properly connected and there are no leaks, it's time for the finishing touches. Ensure all visible parts are carefully and cleanly finished, so the whole thing looks neat and tidy.
Installing a built-in basin faucet requires precision and care. Follow these steps carefully and take your time with each stage. This way, you'll enjoy a stylish and functional faucet in your bathroom for years to come.
