Hi All,
I have a 1930's Standard Cast Iron Sink that is wall mounted. I have the factory mount. The issue is that the mount requires a 2x6 in the wall, flat facing between the studs, to handle the bracket and the weight.
The unit hangs from the top lip. The bracket hangs down about 3 inch or so.
Since I need to have the vent line turn horizontal 6 inches above the flood rim, I have a problem. The top of the cast iron back is 9.75 inch above the flood rim. Take the 3 inches I need for the 2x6 to hang down to mount the bracket and that pushes the bottom of a 1.5 inch vent line 5.25 inches above the flood rim. The top of the sink (flood rim) will be at 40 inches above the floor.
Since the wall is 2x4 I could run the vent up against the back of the Sheetrock and the back of the block, but that is not a good idea in any case.
Any creative solutions out there? Or, do I have to make a compromise of squeezing the pipe between the block and the sheetrock or by being 3/4" too low on the flood rim measurement?
