Installation Guide

Installation Instructions
Undermount sinks are designed to be mounted below the countertop. They are available in stainless steel, porcelain,
TruGranite, copper and bronze.
An undermount sink can be installed in three different fashions.
• A ush mount allows the well of the sink to line up perfectly with the edge of the countertop opening.
• A positive reveal allows a portion of the sink rim to be exposed.
• A negative reveal has the countertop slightly overlap the interior of the basin.
• Using the template provided, measure and cut
the hole in the countertop.
• Determine the locations for the clip brackets around
the perimeter of the sink. Pre-drill holes for the clips
using appropriate methods for the countertop material.
• With denatured alcohol, clean the surfaces of the sink
and countertop which will meet.
• Evenly apply a bead of silicone along perimeter edge
of the opening on the underside of the countertop.

• Carefully align the sink under the countertop opening.
• Evenly apply pressure to the sink securing a seal of
the silicone against the countertop.
• Re-check that the sink is evenly aligned with the
countertop.
• Attach and tighten the clip brackets against
the edge of the sink. Do not tighten one screw
completely before others. Partially tighten one clip
then the one across from it, and so on until all clips
are fully tightened. This will safeguard against an
uneven or insecure installation.
• Remove any excess silicone along the sink lip
under the countertop.
• Use a cloth with denatured alcohol along the inner
perimeter of the sink and top of counter to remove
any excess sealant.
