Steps to Complete
Your Project
Please Note:
• Review and abide by all building and plumbing
codes.
• Miseno sinks need to be installed by a professional
or skilled do-it-yourselfer.
• Some counters require different cutting methods;
seek the details of your chosen countertop material.
• Check to make sure the sink is sealed watertight.
Miseno’s vessel sinks an be installed sitting on the
countertop or recessed - up to a third or even half of
the sink’s height. You may want to determine your
ideal vessel sink height before you begin. The
finished height is a personal preference. Most vanity
heights are set at 30”-32”. After a vessel sink is
installed, that height will increase to 34”-36” unless
the vessel has been recessed into the countertop.
• Layout and place the sink and faucet of your choice
in the desired location. Using a pencil, mark the
bottom of the sink hole and faucet base. Consider
the flow of the faucet when marking the location.
• Drill the countertop for sink drain opening with a
1-5/8” drill bit or hole saw.
• Place the vessel on top of the counter and make
sure the drain fits down inside of the counter. If a
mounting ring is preferred, Miseno provides them in
three finishes to match the faucet and drain. The
mounting ring elevates the sink 1/2”. It also provides
stabilization and more cleaning room underneath the
vessel. Due to design considerations, a mounting ring
is not always necessary. To lower the height of the
sink, simply enlarge the hole. The larger the hole, the
more stability you will also achieve in installation.
• Use a bead of clear silicone to seal between the
outside edge of the vessel where it is mounted to the
mounting ring or counter.
• Use a level to ensure the vessel is plumb in every
direction and install the drain.
• Secure the vessel to the counter with fastener on
the drain. Be sure to not overtighten the drain assem-
bly. Hand-tightening will be sufficient. Vessel break-
age is usually related to proper installation of the
drain.
When cleaning up after installation, do not use abra-
sive cleaners. Ideally, the best way to care and keep
your sink like new is to protect it with Glacier Ice. This
nanotechnology will prevent any hard water spots or
oxidation on the sink and faucet. For everyday clean-
ing simply use a soft cloth, soap and warm water.
