In architecture, sink fitting refers to the process of integrating a sink into a designated space within a kitchen, bathroom, or utility area.
This involves selecting an appropriate sink type — such as under-mount, top-mount, farmhouse, or pedestal — and ensuring it aligns with the overall design, functionality, and plumbing requirements.
Proper sink fitting requires precise measurements, coordination with countertop materials, and consideration of drainage, water supply, and ergonomics.
Additionally, the choice of fixtures, such as faucets and drains, contributes to both the aesthetic and practical aspects of the design, making sink fitting a crucial element in achieving a cohesive and efficient space.

A sink fitting detail drawing in construction is a technical drawing that illustrates the precise installation of a sink, showing dimensions, materials, and connections.
Here’s a description of what it typically includes:
Plan View (Top View):
Sink outline with dimensions (length, width, and position within the countertop).
Faucet holes and accessory placements (soap dispenser, sprayer).
Distance from the sink edges to the countertop edges for proper alignment.
Section View (Side View):
Countertop Thickness: Shows the material and thickness of the countertop.
Sink Mounting Type:
- Undermount: Sink attached below the countertop with brackets or adhesive.
- Top-mount (Drop-in): Sink rim sits above the countertop, supported by the countertop surface.
- Farmhouse/Apron Front: Exposed front panel with sink resting on a base cabinet.
Sealing and Support: Details of sealant used between the sink and the countertop (usually silicone) and any support brackets for heavy sinks.
Plumbing Details:
Drain Pipe Connection: Position and diameter of the drain hole, typically connecting to a P-trap.
Water Supply Lines: Location of hot and cold water supply lines with shut-off valves.
Vent and Overflow Systems (if applicable): Connections to ensure proper drainage and prevent siphoning.
Cabinetry and Support:
Reinforcement details for base cabinets, especially for heavy materials like cast iron or stone sinks.
Clearance for plumbing and access panels for maintenance.
Material Specifications:
Notes on materials used for the countertop, sink, fasteners, and sealants.
Indication of waterproofing treatments or protective layers for moisture-prone areas.
Dimensions and Annotations:
Vertical dimensions for sink depth and clearance below.
Horizontal dimensions for faucet placement and spacing from backsplash or wall.
Slope of the sink base (if any) for water flow toward the drain.
