What gets connected
A kitchen sink installation joins the basin to the drain through a strainer, tailpiece and P-trap, connects hot and cold supplies to the faucet with shut-off valves, and links the dishwasher drain and any disposal. Undermount sinks are often set by the countertop installer, with the plumber completing the connections once the stone is in.

Where it gets tricky
- A deeper new sink can put the drain outlet below the existing trap arm, needing the drain lowered in the wall.
- Moving the sink to an island needs a new drain route and proper venting, often an air admittance valve where code permits.
- Old shut-off valves often fail when first turned in years.

The install
Supplies are fitted with new quarter-turn valves if needed, the faucet is mounted, the drain assembled with a proper trap, and the dishwasher connected with an air gap or high loop. Everything is run, filled and drained, and every joint is checked dry with paper towel.
Grease from the new sink goes the same way as the old one. Our what not to pour down the drain guide applies here too.

Straight answers to common calls
Can a sink move to an island?
Often yes, with a new drain route and suitable venting. Basement access below helps a great deal.
Do I require new shut-off valves?
If the old ones are stiff or leak, replacing them during the install is wise.
