Kitchen:FireclaySinks
Fireclay sinks are distinct and ready for heavy duty use. Fireclay is
coated in a high strength glaze which is resistant to scratches and stains.
Fireclay is a very dense material which makes each sink hard to chip
aswellasveryheavy.Werecommendusingatleasttwopeoplewhen

Important
Sinkology Fireclay sinks require a solid support built into the cabinet and
recommendprofessionalinstallation.Werecommendanundermount
install with a frame supporting the underside of the sink.
5. Install a length of 2x4 vertically under each corner of the sink
base to create support legs directly under the sink.
6. The sink should rest 1/8”
inch below the top of your
cabinets, ensuring plenty
of clearance for countertop
installation. Use a level to
make sure the sink is even and
will drain correctly.
7. Place the sink in the support
structure. Apply a bead of
silicone sealant between the rim of the sink and the countertop
to create a watertight seal. Hook up the drain underneath
according to the drain instructions and the sink will be ready
for use. DO NOT overtighten your disposal drain, this could
damage your kitchen sink. Use plumbers putty to make a water
tight seal between the drain and the sink.
8. Cut the countertop with your template and install the
countertop. Apply a bead of silicone sealant between the rim of
the sink and the countertop to create a watertight seal.
1. Trace the rim of the sink on a piece of craft paper or cardboard.
Measure the distance between the edge of the basin and
theinsideedgeofthelip.Addasecondlineinsidetherst
according to this measurement. Cut on the second line to make
your cut out sheet.
2. Measure the front apron of the sink and cut the face of the
cabinet to allow the sink to slide in.
3. Install the sink support in the cabinet base. See steps 4 - 6.
4. Install two lengths of 2x4’s front to back in the cabinet base.
Build out the support structure and ledge for your Fireclay sink
to rest on.
