basic fixings - cone-shaped washer.

May 04, 2007 4 Replies

Fitting basin to wall. Basin has large-ish square cutouts that do not fit the fixing system snugly and therefore allow movement even when tightened. I'm sure they used to supply a cone-shaped rubber-bung-type washer that centred itself as it was tightened. Where can I get such a thing from ? Simon.



B&Q had such a basin fixing kit in last year. My new basin came with total crap plate fixings and was half the length required, so I had to replace it.

Basin Fixing Kit, like this?

Well, none of these is quite what I had in mind, The flanges are not tapered and do not fit snugly into the cutout, so they do not lock the basin in place. The edge of the basin is likely to be leant on when getting out of the bath, so this is important. But I guess copious silicone would do the trick. Cheers, Simon.
