PREPARE THE COUNTERTOP
1. Position the template (provided with your sink) front to rear so the sink
will not interfere with the cabinet; secure with tape.
2. Trace the template and remove. Dry t the sink to verify the
measurements.
3. Following the countertop manufacturer’s instructions, carefully cut the
countertop on the inside of the traced line.
4. Locate and drill the mounting holes, following the countertop
manufacturer’s instructions. Holes should allow even spacing of
mounting brackets around the sink.
X IMPORTANT: The cabinet must be installed, secured, plumb, and level
BEFORE installing the sink.
INSTALL THE COUNTERTOP
1. Clean the top of the countertop and the bottom ange (or lip) of the sink
with denatured alcohol.
2. Apply a narrow bead of silicone adhesive sealant evenly all around the
top edge of the countertop.
3. Position and align the sink over the countertop opening. Carefully
lower the sink into the cutout in the countertop. Press silicone onto
countertop.
4. Preassemble the clamps and screws.
5. From the underside - place the clamp in the center along each side and
hand tighten to hold sink in place. Fasten the remaining clamps along
the edges and space them approximately 3 in. from each end, and
equally along the front, back and sides. For countertops thicker than 3/4
in., space them up to 1-1/2 in. apart.
6. Tighten fasteners until mounting brackets are snug against sink. Check
alignment of sink to the countertop opening.
7. Tighten down fasteners evenly. Be careful not to over-tighten.
8. Immediately remove excess sealant.
X IMPORTANT: Cahaba is not responsible for sink or countertop if damaged
during installation. Be sure to inspect the sink for damage prior to
beginning installation.
X IMPORTANT: Cahaba drop-in sinks should only be fastened to a solid
surface countertop (i.e. granite, Corian
®
or Silestone
®
).
