Installation Guide
A. GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES:
• All Native Trails products should be installed by a licensed contractor
• Observe and comply with all building and plumbing codes.
• As our basins are handcrafted and dimensions are approximate, we recommend
using the actual basin for the cutout.
• Use 100% Silicone (non-water based) for all installations.
• Ensure adequate space behind the basin for faucet and backsplash,
including the full range of motion for faucet handles and spouts.
• Make sure a watertight seal exists on all drain connections.
• Do not place basin directly on oor. After unpacking, place basin on protective
material such as packing materials.
• Remember to always use non-abrasive cleaners on Native Trails sinks and tubs.
Mild soap and water is recommended. Refer to Care and Maintenance Instructions
for further information.
• If unsure which instructions pertain to your product call our Customer Service
Department at 800.786.0862. You may also view Installation and Care and Maintenance

• CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Bathtubs, large sinks, and vanities can be extremely
heavy. Obtain sucient help to carefully lift or move.
