So far, most helpful ikea sink video I've seen! The clips were driving me crazy, so I'm grateful for the tip. I prefer my instructions in words versus pictures, so the ikea instructions frustrate me (hence why I'm googling videos)! I appreciate that you get to the point and your camera work is 👌. Nice job!!

[@UltimateDIY]

Thanks and welcome!

What is the width (or depth rather) of the countertop? Mine is 60 cm and I'm afraid this sink will not be suitable for me.

[@UltimateDIY]

Mine is 63.5, so maybe if you are careful how you position it, you might be able to use it, I guess.

Thank you very much, this video was very helpful. I will watch it again tomorrow while installing it... cheers

Welcome!

I have the same sink, there is just one problem. The side of hose that goes into wall is lose I installed the black grommet same as you. What can be the problem?

[@UltimateDIY]

Is the tube in your wall standard size? For me it fit perfectly.

[@OptimusPrime04]

@@UltimateDIY yes, it's standard. Just that two parts from IKEA don't fit well

[@UltimateDIY]

Maybe you are not assembling something properly. Really hard to guess without seing myself.

[@OptimusPrime04]

​@@UltimateDIYit worked up fine, I just thought that the hose should be much tighter than it is. Thanks for help 🎉

[@UltimateDIY]

Ah, ok. Great to hear ✌🏻

[@marybatelli8922]

Hi, could you tell me the exact dimensions of the hole you have cut to insert the sink? Is 55 x 52 cm correct? Thank you!!

[@UltimateDIY]

Hi. The hole is 1cm smaller on the whole contour of the sink.

[@marybatelli8922]

@@UltimateDIY thanks a lot! I gathered as much from the instructions but had to be sure, as I am going to have it precut by the manufacturer, and Ikea won't confirm

[@UltimateDIY]

Not possible for me to confirm either, as I did not make the cut by measuring, but by marking.

[@marybatelli8922]

...9 per instructions! I get it, it's two different methods. In theory, you should get to the same result, that is: sink 56 x 53 -> hole 55 x 52, but your/Ikea process allows you to inherently take into account any difference in the actual dimensions of each sink.

[@UltimateDIY]

If the outside of the sink is 56x53, the hole I made would have been about 54x51. I took 1 cm on each side.

[@LUICT15]

Can you install it undermount?

[@UltimateDIY]

I do not know.

[@BillJonesiii]

Did you use any sort of silicone or plumbing adhesive around the seal at the drain? I did not on initial install and everything was fine for about two years. But now it seems to have worked a little loose and has a little leak.

[@UltimateDIY]

No, I did not use any type of adhesive. No proble until now.

[@BillJonesiii]

@@UltimateDIY Ok, thanks for the response. I ended up cleaning it out (smelled absolutely awful) and tightened it all back up and seems fine for now.. I have a feeling silicone or putty would help cement it all together so it doesn't work loose.

[@UltimateDIY]

It-s possible

[@1121756]

Good information!I didn’t know the clips can be rotated

[@UltimateDIY]

Glad I could help!

[@Fatoldaussiebloke]

Thanks. The terrible instructions that come from IKEA is virtually impossible to understand. Even the official IKEA video is just as bad if not worse.

[@UltimateDIY]

Glad I could help!
