What would I need to install this under a sink in an off-grid cabin? Insulation? Supports? Anyone tried?

In an RV the water installs through the outside wall and rests on the floor with blocks of wood screwed to the floor wedging the water heater so it doesn't move. Only two water lines to hook up and an LP line. It's imperative to install through an outside wall. I don't see why it wouldn't work in a cabin.

We had this sink installed onto a polyurethane sealed butcher block. The sink sits on top of the countertop, with a hole drilled underneath for the drainpipe and water hoses. Our carpenter (we did not install this ourselves) used some type of clear caulk underneath the sink and around the bottom rim where it meets the countertop to hold it in place. The sink comes with instructions for drilling the holes.

My contractor, also, built a "cradle" under the sink in the cabinet to support it. I have not had any problems with it and love my sink. I get compliments regarding it all the time.

go to a hardware store and ask for a hose adapter for you sink faucet. Be extremely careful about using it inside! The hose I bought burst and sprayed water everywhere. Lucky for me, it was outside. These hoses, to be quite blunt, SUCK!

Undermount ... as others indicated you have to have a platform built for it. I LOVE it ... for some reason the photo I am seeing now on the screen is not the same sink as the one you asked for a review on ...

We hooked up PVC pipe to drain the water further away from the sink. We used zip-ties to secure the PVC pipe to the sink. Worked great!

Mine is installed outside where heat isn't a problem but I doubt it would harm anything under a sink. A bigger problem would be lack of space to change the bulb. You need room enough for the length of the housing and that much more to slide the bulb in and out.

Hi Christina.Unfortunately the sink is designed specifically for that.I'd not recommend to install it any other way.Angel

All you need are the proper terminals and an inline fuse at the battery. I would recommend at least 12 gauge wire (thicker for longer runs) which can be wire-nutted to the pump. The pump must be no higher than 6 feet above the lowest possible water level to properly self-prime. The sink or shower should not be significantly higher than the pump, this will reduce pressure. As for the on-demand water heater: the highly variable pressure/flow may cause mis-operation or temperature variations.

I can tell you that my husband installed ours on his own in about 30 mins. The only thing he found difficult was being under the sink in a cramped space. Remember to shut of the water under the sink while doing the job! Good Luck!

My plumber recomended a "grid" drain only for this sink, as it does not have an overflow. You can install it with a compact "euro" style trap, which looks very nice, but is a little pricey. I actually used a conventional one, and it works just fine.

Would expect the LN 950 to do the job. Follow !!!! the instructions. KEEP the sink in place for several DAYS until the adhesive has cured & gained its strength. Don't depend on the adhesive to hold the sink in place. JUST to be the waterproof bond. You might want to contact Liquid Nails Co to verify.

That is exactly what we did with ours. We installed it under our kitchen sink as the water heater is quite far from the kitchen and it was taking quite a while for the warm water to arrive. Now it is almost instantaneous. Julie

not sure, but, you want to protect the outlet and plugin from the weather. ideally the temp and wet/dry sensor is designed to lay in the gutter.

I paired this with a vessel sink works well. I had to buy water leads to hook up the water but it depends on where your supply comes out of the wall.

I belive it would work fine for that application. In my use of loctite, I found it to having too long of a drying time. So that being said, take care when installing the sink. Make sure it is not disturbed "Moved around" for at least 24 hours.

The confined space of being under my sink was more of a hassel than the actual mounting. The instructions are fairly straight forward, and I think most people could install it without a problem. I wouldn't imagine you would need a plumber.
