Standard 309 Pedestal Wash Hand Basin, 18 x 12 Inch, White Ceramic

309 Pedestal Wash Hand Basin

The Standard 309 Pedestal Basin provides a compact 18 x 12 inch footprint for professional plumbing installations in tight spaces. This floor-mounted fixture features a high-gloss white ceramic finish. It suits residential cloakrooms, office toilets, and light commercial rental units where floor space is at a premium.

Built for the Job

Site supervisors often specify this 18-inch model for high-density housing projects or guest bathrooms where floor area is limited. The assembly consists of two main components: the basin bowl and the supporting pedestal column. The column bears the majority of the weight, reducing the shear load on wall fixings. This is particularly important when installing onto lightweight partition walls or older masonry where mechanical anchors might have limited pull-out strength. The unit features a deep bowl profile despite its small external dimensions, minimizing splashing during use.

• Compact bathroom renovations and cloakroom upgrades.

• Commercial office restroom fit-outs with limited space.

• Rental property maintenance and sanitary ware replacement.

Technical Specifications

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Verify the floor is level before marking the pedestal’s anchor points to ensure the bowl sits flush against the wall.

• Apply a bead of sanitary-grade silicone between the ceramic and the wall to prevent water ingress behind the fixture.

• The waste outlet accepts standard 32mm basin wastes; avoid over-tightening the flange to prevent stress cracks in the glazing.

• Ensure the pedestal is positioned to allow access to the trap for future maintenance or blockage clearance.

• Use rubber washers between any metal bolt heads and the ceramic surface to distribute pressure evenly during installation.
