Installation & Assembly

General Recommendations:
Please read installation and care instructions thoroughly. Inspect your sink
for any
noticeable damage before installation. Check all local applicable
plumbing and building codes.
These instructions are based on application to composite material or solid
surface countertop installation only; countertop application to stone, marble,
granite or butcher-block should be referred to an experienced countertop
fabricator for custom installation.
We suggest using experienced and professional installers only. For custom
cutting of countertop and installation of the actual sink, on-site installation
is also recommended. Acceptable variances are approximately 1/8 of an
inch. Alignment to the cut-out and precise application and trimming of any
adhesive sealant are critical to a superior fit and finished look.
Fossil Blu sinks does not accept any liability for damage to countertop, sink
fixture, faucets or personal injury during installation. Warranty is void if
installation instructions are not followed.
Instal
lation Instructions:
1. Unpack and check the contents supplied: Sink,
Mounting
Brackets and Cutout Template
2. The Cutout Template provides 3 options for
installation (see reverse for Countertop Reveal
Options). Trace the outline of the template and cut
countertop along the inside of the line using
appropriate cutting tools. Template is for guide only —
Use the physical sink to ensure accurate cutout
opening.
3. Locate and drill holes on the underside of the coun-
tertop, approximately 1” from edge of the sink to be
installed. Holes should be evenly spaced approxi-
mately 6” to 8” apart starting from every corner. It is
recommended to install a faucet at this point before
installing the sink.
4. Loosely attach mounting brackets to the countertop,
parallel
to the cutout opening using the mounting
screws and butterfly nuts.
5. Clean sink flange and underside of cutout area of
countertop, making sure that the area is smooth and
free from grease. Apply continuous bead of silicone
caulk evenly on top of sink flange.
6. Position and align sink over countertop opening and
press sink onto countertop. Turn bent end of mounting
bracket to snug over the sink rim. Check alignment of
sink again and tighten fasteners to secure sink.
8. Wipe away excess silicone caulk with a damp cloth.
Connect drain and water supply according to
manu-facture
r’s instructions.
