Hi All,
I just hung 2 Mansfield wall sinks yesterday and didn't quite do it right as they both wobble like crazy. One is on an old wall with blocking added and the other is a new construction wall with blocking. 2x6 construction with 5/8? rock and then covered with FRP panels. There were no instructions with the sinks and I haven't found anything on youtube that's the least bit helpful.

I installed the bracket hard against the wall at a height that would give me the right height and clearance to pass ADA and then pushed the sink down hard onto the bracket and screwed in the 2 hidden bolts. My guess is the metal bracket needs to be installed at an angle with the bottom edge hard against the wall and the bolts squeezing the sink's hidden edge to the wall. Is this correct?? Does anyone have experience with this? The sinks feel like they're going to fall right off if anyone were to lean on them.
Thanks

If the bracket is on the wall tight. The sink should fit tight even without the two screws for the sink

Hey, wait a minute.
