Fitting a sink.

[Dave9]

Hi, I need to fit a small sink in my bedroom (cold supply only), just would like
to know if I can attempt trying to fit it myself?

the way I thought was, run a copper pipe from the big tank in the attic, run it down the wall straight into the tap in my room... or have I missed something?

what do you think, worth attempting myself or call bob?

no go for it,

If you plan to brush your teeth use colad mains not stored water. There is also a mains in your loft.

Tee off the pipe supplying your cold water tank.

Make sure there is adequate drainage i.e a gully or stack nearby.

Should be straightforward.

thanks, nice little confidence boost!

So I unscrew the pipe and another 3-way splitter?
anyone have a guide I can follow, still unsure what to do really... dont wanna flood my house, lol.
