1Natural Stone Farmhouse Sink Installation Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack and inspect the sink for any shipping
damages and ensure that none of the required
pieces are missing. If you find any damages, do
not install. Contact Customer Service at
1-866-855-2284. If you need assistance while
installing your new farmhouse sink, call our
Customer Service number.
Due to the manufacturing process, each sink will
vary slightly dimensionally. Farmhouse sinks may
require custom cabinetry. We recommend
consulting an experienced cabinet maker for
assistance. Providing the cabinet maker with the
actual sink to be installed will ensure a custom fit.
Please use assistance when lifting the sink in
order to avoid personal injury.
We recommend consulting a professional if you
are unfamiliar with installing kitchen fixtures and
plumbing. Signature Hardware accepts no liability
for any damages to the floor, walls, plumbing or
personal injury during installation.

CRAFTSMANSHIP
Stone sinks are individual works of art, carved from a single block of
stone. Each block of stone has its own characteristics including color
variation, veining, minor pits, non-structural fracture lines and flecks of
minerals such as copper, silver or gold. Your sink is a one-of-a-kind
creation that you can cherish for years to come.
INSTALLATION
Because most stone is porous, it is important to take special care of
your sink to protect against harmful substances.
Upon receiving your sink, seal with a product such as StoneTech Heavy
Duty Sealer. To retain your sink’s natural shine,
reseal your sink once or twice a year.
When installing your sink, carefully use silicone to seal the drain and use
extra caution to keep the silicone away from the exposed sink area.
Oil-based sealers or plumber’s putty should never be used on your
sink. These products will stain the stone if applied near the surface of
the polished basin. If staining does occur, use a standard stone and tile
stain remover. For more difficult stains, apply a poultice product from
StoneTech directly to the stain.
