4. Attach mounting clips to the prongs protruding
from the underside of the sink rim. Make sure the
hooked side of the mounting clip is facing away
from the sink (Figure 3).
5. Before installing the sink, place a bead of plumbers
putty along the edge of the drain opening inside
the sink and press the strainer body into place.
Turn the sink upside down and tighten the strainer
locknut with a wrench. While tightening, hold the
strainer steady with pliers the keep it from turning.
Wipe away any excess plumber’s putty.
6. Fit the gasket on the sink drain pipe (tailpiece)
and attach it to the strainer bottom with a slip
nut. Tighten this nut by hand. For most threaded
connections, apply a sealant such as plumbers
putty, silicone tape or “pipe dope” to the threads to
ensure a watertight connection.
7. Attach the drain pipe assembly that comes with
your sink.
8. Apply a “rope” of plumbers putty or caulk around
the perimeter of the underside of the sink. Flip the
sink over and carefully place it into the countertop
opening, with all of the drains and attachments
secured. Press down rmly to seat the sink against
the countertop (Figure 4).
9. Position the bottom of the mounting clip so that it
is gripping the countertop. Use a screwdriver to
tighten the screws until the mounting clip is snug
against the countertop (Figure 5).
10. After the sink is positioned and securely in place,
place plumbers putty around the underside of the
faucet body or its mounting plate and install it into
the sink (Figure 6).
11. Attach all plumbing connections to the house
drain line and water supply tubing. Apply a bead
of silicone caulking around the perimeter of the
sink where it meets the counter to seal any gaps.
Fill the sink with water and leave it overnight to
add weight and help it settle in place. Afterward,
retighten the sink clips if necessary.
