Boutique Collection - SculptureStone™ Lavatory Sinks

MTI’s SculptureStone™ sink bowls are designed to accommodate nearly any properly sized lavatory drain kit. Because of

variations in lavatory drain design styles, the following drain installation information is provided:

Contact area from drain to sink requires careful installation to seal properly. Use a proper water sealant product, such as

silicone, in lieu of plumber’s putty, under the waste flange at the contact area. Insufficient sealant on installation

may result in over tightening in an attempt to achieve a better seal at the contact area. Over tightening will create

excessive stress at the contact point which can result in compression cracks over time.

Compression cracks are not considered a defect of material and will void the product’s warranty.

1. Use sealant (Silicone) generously near and at the contact area and hand tighten to snug plug one half turn. Do not

overtighten and do not exceed 7ft-lb maximum. Product damage will occur.

2. Allow time for sealant to cure before water testing.

Installation instructions for semi-recessed countertop sinks

Installation instructions for undermount sinks.

MTI does not provide templates for undermounting. Please have the product on site for the solid surface fabricator.

Must use construction adhesive compatible with our stone product and mating substrate, such as polyurethane adhesive,

Sika 221, or equivalent, to adhere sink to counter. Adhesive must be appropriate strength for the weight of the product being

installed. Weight of product may be found on the product specification sheet at www.mtibaths.com. Do not use clear kitchen

& bath silicone to adhere sink to counter.

1. Dry fit the top of the sink to the underside of the counter and mark the counter around the sink's mounting flange.

2. Use isopropyl alcohol and a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the sink's mounting flange and the underside of the counter

before applying adhesive to the mounting flange.

3. Glue bowl to marked area on the underside of the counter.

4. Secure mounting clips a maximum distance of 2” from each corner on each side of the sink bowl, and then install

additional clips a 6-8” apart from each corner clip for ample and evenly distributed support around the entire bowl. MTI

does not provide undermount clips, however, the mounting flange will accommodate most commonly used clips.

5. For extra large bowls, straps may be used along the length of the bowl. Be sure to secure the strap(s) on each end as

close to the bowl’s mounting flange as possible, allowing the strap to ratchet up to tighten as the strap is secured.

Excess slack in the strap could result in improper support.

6. After adhesive has cured, complete routing and sanding where the counter top meets the sink, inside the bowl.

7. Seal the top seam with color matched caulk or clear silicone.

8. Test for plumbing leaks.

Boutique Collection - SculptureStone™ Installation - Lavatory Sinks & Counter-Sinks IMPORTANT! Read all instructions carefully before beginning installation or drilling of sink. Installation instructions for wall-mounted Counter-Sinks. 1. Attach carrier arms to wall studs using the hardware supplied. MTI recommends using all the supplied bolts for maximum strength. 2.

Installation Instructions for Incline Sink The Incline sink uses a unique slot drain that does not have any exposed drain components on top. The incline sink is available as an undermount sink or as an MTI counter-sink. The incline sink is not for top mount, or self rimming applications. This feature requires a special drain trough assembly ** below to catch water and needs to be installed per the following instructions.
PAGE 4
2) Install drain assembly onto trough so it looks like this: **This drain assembly does not have grates by design so objects can move easily to P-trap and no clogging at drain will occur. 3) Once the drain and trough are assembled and the surfaces cleaned, put a thick bead of clear silicone adhesive on the trough lip (shown above in picture) all the way around the entire perimeter. 4) Place trough onto sink bottom (flat area) making sure that the trough completely covers the slot opening in the sink.

Care & Cleaning: Once installed, the area of the Drain Pan should be periodically flushed with hot water and bleach, usually 10:1 is sufficient (10 parts water, 1 part bleach). Let the bleach 'flush' sit for about 10 minutes, and then flush again with clean hot water. This will keep the Drain Pan area clean and free of mildew. An alternative to bleach is to use straight hydrogen peroxide (3% solution). Pour hydrogen peroxide into the Drain Pan, trying to get the solution into all areas of the Drain Pan.

Installation Instructions for Petra/Halo Pedestal Sink 1) Install faucet and drain using access area in back of pedestal 2) Attach steel braided hose and P-trap on drain so they are ready for connections to wall. Cut p-trap tubing to correct size. 3) Set pedestal using included adjustable feet to make sure the pedestal sits on the floor level with as little a gap as possible to the floor.
PAGE 7
4) Reach behind pedestal and connect water supplies to angle stops and P-trap compression nut. Turn angle stops fully open. Now turn faucet on and check for leaks at stops and drain/p-trap. 5) Make slight adjustments to the pedestal to get position correct. The pedestal can be pushed slightly toward the wall if a tighter look is desired. Make sure drain and faucet connections remain intact after adjustments. 6) Optionally, the bottom edge can be sealed to the floor with a sealant.
