PREPARE THE BASE CABINET
1. Apply painter’s tape to the cabinets for marking and cutting purposes.
This will protect the cabinet from damage while cutting.
2. Mark the front apron cut out on the painter’s tape using the dimension
of the apron front.
3. Using a sharp saw blade, carefully cut the cabinet on the traced line.
X IMPORTANT: The cabinet must be installed, secured, plumb, and level
BEFORE installing the sink.
X IMPORTANT: Cahaba recommends providing the cabinet maker with the
actual sink prior to cabinet fabrication. Before installing the sink, verify
that the distance from the top of the doors to the top of the cabinet is
greater than the apron front.
X IMPORTANT: Double check the measurement of the cabinet cutout and
make any necessary adjustments by either adding ller strips or sanding
the opening.
PREPARE THE COUNTERTOP
1. Position the template (provided with your sink) on the bottom of the
counter top, ush to the front and centered; secure with tape. Trace the
template and remove. Dry t the sink to verify the measurements.
2. Following the counter top manufacturer’s instructions, carefully cut the
counter top on the traced line.
INSTALL THE SUPPORT FRAMING
1. Cut two lengths of support framing to extend horizontally along the
inside walls on each side of the cabinet.
2. Measure and mark the support mounting locations; ensure the sink rim
will sit at or slightly below the top of the cabinet.
3. Position and level the supports. Secure the supports with construction
adhesive and screws (not provided).
4. Cut (4) lengths of support framing to extend from the bottom of the
horizontal supports to the oor of the cabinet. Secure the vertical
supports with construction adhesive and screws (not provided).
X IMPORTANT: Long screws may damage adjacent cabinets. Ensure the
screws are long enough to secure the support framing, but short enough
not to go through the walls of adjacent cabinets.
X IMPORTANT: Make sure the top of the sink does not extend above the top
of the cabinet; otherwise it will interfere with counter top installation.
