Not all the bathrooms have a sufficient area - in the houses of the old construction, it was not possible to install any technique simply because it was not there. Those at home are still still exploited and the owners have to solve complex problems - how and where to install household appliances. Most often problems arise with a washing machine machine. It is necessary that the sewage and sewage can be nearby, and there are only conditions in the bathroom and the kitchen, and the bathroom is considered primarily. Even if it has very small sizes, there is one good option - sink over the washing machine.
What is the difference
From ordinary shell over the washing machine, there is a smaller depth of the bowl, large sizes and plums of a special form. The bowl is made as flat as possible. On average, its height along with a plum protrusion is about 20 cm.

At the same time, the sink sizes are increased - it must close the car standing under it, excluding moisture ingress. The width and depth usually 50-60 cm, smaller models are very rare. Because of this form - wide and flat - this type of shells is called the "water lily."
Types of drain for sink-pitchers
Different and drained. It can be located in the middle, as in conventional washbasins, and maybe on the side, usually right. A small nozzle for several centimeters is lowered down, then sharply goes back or to the side. Special siphons are connected to such a plum. Sometimes they come complete with the sink, sometimes you have to buy separately.
When choosing a siphon on a washing above the washing machine, it is advisable to find such a model to which you can connect the drain from the washing. In this case, the connection to sewage will be completely simple. It will only be necessary to insert the drain hose into the appropriate removal. The same applies to the mixer on the sink. Look for a model with an additional output for household appliances.
What washing machines can be installed under the sink
Under the sink-pitcher, you can install small-sized washing machines. They should be low and shallow. For people of medium growth, washbasins in the bathroom are installed at an altitude of 80 cm. With the fact that the sink has a depth of about 20 cm, the height of the washing should be about 60 cm. For high people, the normal height of the shell installation is up to 100 cm. In this case, washing The machine can be a height of about 80 cm.

An example of choosing a washing machine under the shell in height
When installing, do not forget to leave the gap between the case and the siphon. Under annealing, the machine can vibrate so that the vibration is not transmitted and this clearance is required.
The depth of the machine is also selected based on the sink sizes (or vice versa, depending on what is already available). On average, with the size of the sink over a sink 50 cm. Depth, washing 32-36 cm, when washing 60 cm - up to 51 cm.
When installing, keep in mind that the siphon should not touch the housing. The reason is the same - vibration during annealing.
Selection of washing machine under the sink in depth
A solid clearance remains between the body of the machine and the wall, into which the sewer pipe is successfully stacked. If its diameter is more, it can be partially hidden into the wall.
Sink over a washing machine: types
The lilying sink can have a drain hole in the center or side. Models with plums in the center have a greater depth - the outlet requires space. On average, the depth of such a washbasin of 18-20 cm. When installing between the bottom and the top cover of the machine there is a significant gap. On the one hand, you can store small things there, on the other - it is not very convenient to clean. But most of these models, since with such a structure, smaller requirements are presented to balancing (sustainability) of the washing machine - the gap allows not worry about vibration when working.
The gap remains
From the point of view of electrical safety, this option is not the best - if the siphon leaks, water is packaged. At the same time, the likelihood that it will fall on the current parts, which will cause a vehicle breakdown. So when installing special attention to the seal. Perhaps, except for gaskets and seals it makes sense to use sealant. Just take not acrylic, but silicone, and better - for aquariums. He definitely serves a long time.
Plums from the side and rear
Dumping on the side meets less often. In this case, the nozzle is shifted back and sideways and is behind the body of the machine. With such a structure, the sink can practically be put on the top cover. The bottom is almost flat, the boards are in short with it or maybe even slightly higher. The depth of such models in the front part is less - about 10-15 cm, and the rear, where there is a drain nozzle, also has a height of about 20 cm.

Options for sinks-water lily with side drain
What is good such type of shell? Drain is shifted back, which means even when the leakage appears, the water does not fall on the car, it means that it will not bring harm to her.
Dying from behind
There is a slightly more familiar type - the drain is shifted back, but without shifts to the side. All the advantages of such a design are the same, the category is slightly more numerous - they do not look so unusual. There is also a non-standard version of BELUX Eureka (Belarusian production) in this group. In Evrica (in the photo on the right), it is shifted towards the mixer, as the part covering the stock, removable - for the possibility of cleaning.

With worktop
If the position with the place in the bathroom Il Sanuzel is not so critical, you can install the sink above the washing machine with the worktop. Machine is installed under the tabletop. This option in terms of electrical safety is most preferred. There is one minus - such sinks with the table top are quite expensive.
Washing room can be put under the table top
To remove the dissonance between the occupied body part and the empty place under the sink, the doors are attached to the second part, and inside the shelves or chemistry storage boxes can be made.

What materials do
Shells for installation over a washing machine, like any plumbing devices make from porcelain and faience. Fayans cheerful, but has a more porous structure and alone is hygroscopic. To circumvent these shortcomings, the surface is covered with icing. With its high-quality application, the product has a good appearance, does not wet. But after a while, the glaze can crack. Cracks microscopic, but dirt clogs in them, the surface acquires a grayish color, and nothing can be done about it. Therefore, faience has to change frequently.
Car wash
Porcelain sinks are more expensive, weigh more, but they are more durable. The surface is smoother, it does not settle the dirt on it, it is easier to maintain purity.
Often there are sinks of artificial stone. This is a mixture of polymer with stone dust and crumb. High ductility mass allows you to get any forms, achieve any colors and shades.

There are firms that are ready to make washing strictly according to your sizes. Naturally, individual manufacturer is more expensive, but the available area is used rational.

Installing a washbasin over a washing machine
Montage of the shell over the washing machine is standard. All the difference is to place the height of the washing machine, then select the place of attachment of the brackets so that the bottom of the sinks are in the right place. How much to raise the brackets is written in the product passport - this is a variable value that each model has its own and depends on the type of bracket. So you have to consider yourself.
After installing brackets, you can make fitting: hang the washbasin and make sure that it is at the required height. After that you can install the mixer and siphon. Siphon, as you remember, should be special, whose output immediately turns back. A corrugated hose is connected to the plastic pipe, which is fixed to the wall (can plastic clamps).
Siphon for washing over the washing machine has a special design
Next, set the sink to the brackets. Some of them provide for fixation with bolts. At first, I do not turn to the end to leave about 5 mm. Then on the rear wall of the washbasin on the upper edge apply a layer of silicone sealant. It will prevent water from entering the gap between the sink and wall. After that, you can delay the bolts.
Next - connecting to water supply and sewage, after which you need to immediately check the performance of the washbasin. If everything is fine, you can connect the machine and stick it into place.
