Installation Guide
Installation Instructions
Vessel sinks are designed to be mounted on, or recessed into, the countertop. They are available in porcelain, glass, 
stone, bronze, copper, bamboo, and stainless steel. When mounted above the counter, and having a rounded bottom, a 
sink ring is typically installed below the basin in order to stabilize it. 
•  Measure and cut a hole in the countertop 
  matching the diameter of the drain pipe.
•  If  the  bowl  has  a  curved  bottom  it  will  require  a  sink 
  ring. Position the ring on the counter over the drain   
  hole, then rest the basin on the ring. 
•  If the bowl has a at bottom it can be rested directly 
  on the counter without a sink ring.
•  Install the drain.

•  Measure and cut a hole in the countertop to the 
  diameter necessary to hold the sink at the desired   
  depth. The recess should not exceed half of the   
  bowl’s height. The hole should be cut on a bevel to   
  match the bowl’s angle.
•  Rest the basin in the hole.
•  Install the drain.
