Installation & Assembly_1
• Before setting sink in countertop, prepare and attach drain to sink. Use silicone
sealer under drain flange. After tightening tailpiece remove excess sealer.
• Run a ¼” bead of silicon sealant inside of pencil line. Carefully set sink into
countertop hole and sealant. Once positioned, carefully remove excess sealant
from the outside rim of sink with a soft cotton rag while holding downward
pressure on sink.
• Sink must set a minimum of 12 hours for sealer to dry before putting any
movement or pressure on sink.
Under Mount Installation for Flat Edged Sink:
• Measure inside diameter of sink. Subtract one inch from this dimension to
achieve countertop opening.
• Center sink on opening under countertop and trace pencil line around sink.
Remove sink and apply a bead of silicone adhesive or other suitable adhesive to
the flat mating edge of sink.
• Position sink under the countertop using your pencil mark as a guide and press
upward seating sink against the counter. Place some type of support under sink
until adhesive cures. Check for any sealer that may have squeezed out inside of
sink and remove immediately with a soft cloth.
Care and Maintenance:
Caring for our copper bowls is surprisingly easy. Rinsing your sink with clean water and
drying with a soft cloth after each use will help keep your sink looking new. For cleaning
use a liquid dish soap and water with a non-abrasive sponge. Never use abrasive
cleaners. Most copper sinks are considered a “live” finish, meaning the patina (finish)
will
change over time. If you ordered the Dark Smoke finish, this patina will continue to
darken over time as you use your sink giving an “Old World” look. Do not use copper
cleaners, abrasive materials or harsh chemicals on this sink as this will remove the
patina. If a chemical lightens the finish, don’t worry, time will return the darker patina.
For maintaining the Shiny Copper finish, copper cleaners or lemon juice will restore it to
its original luster. For added protection, paste waxes such as Flitz Furniture and Faucet
Wax or any quality automotive wax will help maintain the beauty of your sink as well as
help keep it clean.
