I just completed a remodel of my bathroom using an Ikea vanity, sink and mirror. Many people (myself included) seemed to have trouble getting the plumbing to connect to their home systems using the Ikea provided Rinnen plumbing.
I’ve got the Godmorgon sink and vanity combo and one of the issues that you have with it is that the plumbing needs to be run at a sharp angle underneath the sink to clearance for the drawers underneath. This can post a particular problem since most plumbing systems aren’t setup for that. The other issue is that the Rinnen plumbing uses a thin walled 1 inch pipe, rather than the US standard 1.5 inch for sink drains. The good news is though, that the faucets use standard 1/2 inch connectors.
In the wide shot below, you can see the configuration and the issues it poses:
For the faucet, my water lines terminated in pinch fittings on the supply pipes. Rather than redo the lines, I simply purchased 1/2 inch, male/male brass couplings, wrapped them in plumbers tape and connected them directly to the faucet supply lines.
For the plumbing, I ran a 1/1 inch compression coupler between the Ikea drain line coming out of the P trap into a 1 inch PVC piece that runs into a 1 1/4 bushing that fits into the 90 degree elbow.
Use of a compression fitting is really the only secure way to connect the drain pipe as the Ikea Rinnen won’t connect into a slip joint. I’ve read about some crazy ideas such as using hose barbs and clamps, but the compression fitting will give you a tight joint and it’s made for plumbing. And they’re also cheap, so do it the right way if you’re considering doing this yourself!
Underneath the vanity is where things get interesting; I call this one the “Super Mario Maneuver”. From the 2 inch drain pipe, I’ve got a 90 degree elbow with a 2 inch to 1 1/4 bushing that connects to two 90 degree elbows with a small piece of 1 1/4 pipe between them to make the connection and clear the back of the vanity for the drawers.
You can also see where I cut out the bottom of the vanity to accommodate the previous plumbing while I was roughing everything in. If I had to do it over again, I’d simply cut out the plumbing and cap the opening while I was working. But this was my first time using this system and I wasn’t sure what I was doing. The drawers hide the hole and you don’t see it either.
All in all, I think it’s a project well done!
One of the things I miss about analog photography are the various artifacts that find their way into the photos. Most of the time they seem perfectly natural in the resulting composition, almost as if you were also capturing the atmosphere or mood scene. Various camera apps try and mimic the feel of the artifacts, but none come really close to the authentic feel of vintage cameras.
Having been a collector of 70′s and 80′s point and shoots myself, I’ve often thought of ways of trying to combine the lenses from the analogs with my digitals, but alas, I lack the technical know how. The good news is that it’s finally been done and it’s also been enclosed in a handsome walnut and aluminium case as well.
