View Full Version : Sink pedestal to go around pipes 8 in. Apart

Are there any sink pedestals out there that have open backs (I know Kohler does not) that can fit around pipes that come out of the floor that are 8 in. apart. The inside of the pedestal base would have to measure 8 or more inches in order to fit around the pipes.

We know we can use a vanity instead of a pedestal and put the holes through the bottom, but it's hard to find one who's depth (from wall out) is 15-18 inches. We have a tight bathroom and that's why it's important to stick to these measurements. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

The simplest solution would be to use flex lines from the pipes to the faucet. Even if the pipes were 3" apart, they would still be visible, as most pedastels that I have seen are a few inches from the wall. If you want to hide it all, get a vanity. Good luck.

Doc, the pipes come from the floor.
I would try home depot expo, they carry speciaty stuff but it is pricey. Some people are using furniture and vessel lavatory bowls to stay within a smaller space, but again, this is pricey.

Nothing that I am aware of.

My best advice, if it's doable, would be to have the lines re-routed to come out of the wall.

Another option, which is equally pricey, would be a pillar mounted sink that bolts to the wall and has a leg at each side on the front.
