2a. Place the sink upside down on a piece of cardboard and trace the outside edge of the sink rim using a pencil.
2b. Remove the sink and set right side up. Measure the width of the sink rim in several locations around the perimeter, and determine the
nominal dimension.
2c. Add ¼” to the nominal sink rim width dimension. This ¼” represents the overhang of the countertop into the sink bowl opening and
this dimension can be increased if so desired (we do not recommend reducing this ¼” dimension since the sink does not have a
predictable inside shape).
2d. Set a compass to the sink rim width plus ¼”, and scribe a line that is inside the trace line.
2e. Cut out template by following the scribe line (innermost line).

3a. Position the template on top of the counter in the desired location. Center the template within the sink base cabinet unit, and ensure
provision is made for mounting faucet and fittings behind the sink.
3b. Trace the outside edge of the template using a pencil.
3c. Cut-out sink opening following the trace line.

We recommend installing the sink strainers at this point in the installation process. The installation process is much simpler with the sink
accessible from all sides.

We also recommend installing the faucet and any deck mounted fittings at this point in the installation process. The installation process
is much simpler with the countertop accessible from all sides.

5a. Carefully place the sink into position on the wooden support frame. Check the height of the sink rim, and shim the sink to level if
necessary.
5b. Apply a bead of translucent silicone along the center of the sink rim.
5c. Place the countertop into position and clean up excess silicone with a solvent and clean wiper.
5d. Connect drain assembly and supply fittings.
