2. Cut the Sink Mounting Hole (Recommended for profession installers only.)
CAUTION: RISK OF PRODUCT DAMAGE. To avoid damage to the sink, do not cut, drill, or sand the
countertop while it is in position over the sink.
Make the sink cutout. Find the center of the sink template and align it with the center mark drawn on the
countertop. Place the template with the front edge along the front edge line drawn on the countertop.
Secure the plywood template to the countertop using 6” bar claps. Place the router over the plywood template
and cut around it, making sure the router follows the edge of the template. This creates the sink cutout.
Finish the inside of the sink cutout according to the recommendations of the countertop material supplier.

3. Attach the Undermount Clip (Recommended for professional installers only.)
JSG Oceana recommends the use of a cabinet cradle for sink installation,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Utilize two undermounter sets to secure all four sides of your sink, (refer to
diagram at right).
(JSG Oceana recommends the “Sink Undermounter™”).

If a cabinet cradle is not utilized follow the following steps:
Position the bowl so that the reveal is equidistant. Then on the underside of the countertop, drill holes for
brass inserts for undermount clips. Use a drill bit with a stop block to avoid drilling through the top. For 1/2”
countertop material, drill 3/8” deep holes.
Use three clips on the long sides of the sink and two clips on the short sides of the sink. Drill the hole 1” back
from the cutout edge.
Tap in the brass inserts for the clips into the pre-drilled holes with the slotted ends first.
Thread a wingnut onto a screw, up near the head. Adhere a 1/2” adhesive-backed foam bumper (1/8”thick) to
the end of the clip that fits securely under the sink rim. With the washer and slotted clip in place loosely install
the mounting bracket to the countertop. Repeat for each clip.
Turn the brackets parallel to the opening to allow for easy installation of the sink.
4. Install the sink. (Recommended for professional installers only.)
Clean the bottom of the countertop and the top flange (or rim) of the sink with denatured alcohol. Then apply
a generous bead of silicone adhesive to the rim of the sink near the inside edge.
Position and align the sink with the opening in the countertop.
Rotate the mounting brackets over the sink rim.
Hand tighten the wingnuts to secure the sink bowl.
NOTE: do not fully tighten one clip at a time. Partially tighten a clip, then partially tighten the clip across
form it. After each clip is partially tightened, repeat the process, fully tightening each clip. This en
sures a secure installation and avoids damage to the sink. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Remove the excess sealant from the inside lip of the bowl using a dry cloth.
Allow the sealant to cure for a minimum of 30 minutes. Follow the instructions provided with the sealant.
