3Natural Stone Farmhouse Sink Installation Instructions
TEMPLATE AND CUTOUT
Farmhouse sinks may require custom cabinetry.
We recommend consulting an experienced
cabinet maker for assistance. Providing the cabinet
maker with the actual sink that is to be installed will
ensure a custom fit.
Allow clearance for the water supply lines, drains
and a garbage disposal, if applicable. Build a
support frame or install support bars from front
to back along the inner sides of the cabinet. The
frame must support the weight of the sink and
all attachments.
The support frame should be positioned so that
when installed, the sink is in line and level with the
top of the cabinet.
No template is provided since each sink will vary
dimensionally. After centering the sink, trace the
outline of the sink on the counter-top with a pencil to
use as a guide for the cutout. Remember to allow
clearance for any faucets and/or backsplashes. Cut
the counter-top accordingly.
FINAL PLACEMENT
Test fit the sink in the opening that was created in the
previous steps. The entire weight of the sink should
be supported by the support frame. Verify that the
sink is in line and level with the top of the cabinet. Use
shims, if needed, to level the sink.
Set the sink and apply your sealant to fill in any gaps
below the sink front, and between the sink and
counter-top. Hold the sink in place to secure. Place
the counter-top onto the sink and remove any excess
sealant from all surfaces.
