Laundry Tub Installation And Repair

Overview

A laundry tub is a metal or plastic bucket that is of use for washing clothes.

Laundry tubs are typically used when finer garments need to be washed in delicate cycles, such as hand wash or cold water cycle.

If you have two washers and two dryers in your residential home or commercial buildings, this would mean one load being completed with the washer and dryer, before moving on to the next load.

Quick Tips & Trick

How To Install A Laundry Tub?

Laundry tub installation and repair is part of laundry machine services provided by Wrench It Up plumbing and mechanical.

1. Find the studs in the wall where you will be mounting the laundry tub. This is best done by using a stud finder.

2. Once you have located the studs, use a level to mark where the top of the laundry tub will be on the wall. If you are using a metal or fiberglass tub, use a drill to make pilot holes in the wall at each mark. If you are using a porcelain tub, use a hammer and chisel to score the surface around each hole.

3. Use a drill to break out the pieces of porcelain until you have a hole that is the size of the mounting hardware.

4. Attach the top piece of the laundry tub, if using a metal or fiberglass one, and slide it down over the studs. Use a wrench to tighten all of the bolts on this piece until it is secure. 

5. Use a level to ensure that it is straight before attaching it to the bottom piece that will sit on the floor. Once that is attached and secured, slide it into the wall and down over the bottom two studs. Use a wrench to secure all of the bolts on this piece as well.

6. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the nuts on all of the pipes coming out of your laundry sink or basin. If these pieces are leaking, replace them with new pieces. If the supply tubing has not been properly cut to fit your laundry tub, use a hack saw to cut it down to size.

7. Proceed to reattach the supply tubing and make any necessary adjustments using an adjustable wrench.

8. Once everything is tightly secured together in place, you have successfully installed your new laundry tub! Congratulations!

Why Do You Need A Laundry Tub?

There are several reasons to have a laundry tub. One is because it is necessary for washing clothes by hand, which is cheaper and better for the environment. A laundry tub can also be used for soaking clothes to get out stains and odors. Additionally, a laundry tub can be used as a place to store cleaning supplies and laundry detergent.

How do you secure a laundry tub?

To attach your new laundry tub, put screws through each metal foot and into the holes you drilled in floor. The screw heads should cover up any other kinds of fasteners that are needed for concrete or masonry sleeve anchors depending on what type(s)of installation there is going to be done at home!

Does a laundry tub need a vent?

We highly recommend that all plumbing fixtures—including laundry machines and laundry tubs—must be vented.

How do you attach a laundry tub to the wall?

You would need at least one bracket per side of the tub, which leaves you screwing the brackets into studs or insert them between two strapping beams spaced about 24 inches apart from each other. Make sure your most important load is carried by the upper most bracket if possible because any weight placed lower will pull downwards on that bracket and stress it more heavily.

What is the purpose of a laundry tub?

Organizing your clothes has never been easier with the laundry tub!

What is a laundry tub called?

A laundry sink, which may also be called as a utility sink.

How deep should a laundry tub be?

Minimum 15 inches deep.

What are laundry tubs made of?

Laundry tubs can be made from a variety of materials: cast iron, stainless steel, fiberglass, porcelain, marble and granite.

What is the standard size of a laundry tub?

Around 23 inches in width, 20 inches in length, and 13 inches in depth.

How do you clean a concrete laundry tub?

The best way to remove stains from your laundry tub is with a paint stripper, abrasive cleaner and oxygen bleach. If that does not work then you can try scrubbing it off or breaking up any larger pieces of dirt caught in between cracks where they will not come out easily by hand.
