Apron Front Stainless Steel Sink
Installation Instructions
Before You Start
• IPT Sink Company recommends that all apron front sinks should be installed by an experienced, professional installer.
• IMPORTANT: The enclosed cutout template will create a countertop opening with a minimal (1/8” or less) reveal. It is
recommended that you discuss with your installer and agree that the finished appearance is the desired effect. IPT Sink Company is
not responsible for improper sink or countertop installations.
• IMPORTANT: The cabinet must be installed, secured, plumb, and level. The front sink apron must be secured to the front of the
cabinet by attaching fasteners through the cabinet front and into the support framing. Failure of this step can lead to product
damage.
• IMPORTANT: Long screws may damage adjacent cabinets. Ensure the screws are long enough to secure the support framing, but
short enough not to go through the walls of adjacent cabinets.
• IPT Sink Company apron front sinks should only be fastened to a solid surface countertop (i.e. granite, Corian® or Silestone®).
• A custom sink base cabinet and support framing is required for proper installation. IPT Sink Company recommends providing the
cabinet maker with the actual sink to be installed prior to cabinet fabrication.
• IPT Sink Company is not responsible for sink or countertop if damaged during installation. Be sure to inspect the sink for damage
prior to beginning installation.

An exploded view of a typical shower flanged drain assembly is shown on the left for your reference. This assembly can be made
from PVC, cast iron or other composite materials.
Step 1 - Prepare Shower Pan
Pre-slope shower pan and install waterproofing membrane per manufacturer’s instructions. Any waterproofing membrane material
or procedure can be used (vinyl, CPE Membrane, Roll/Paint On, Metal Pan, Hot Mop, Surface Sheet Membrane, etc.). Perform a
leak test as required.
Step 2 - Rough Opening
Soleil Collection Linear Drain channel width is 3-3/16”. Confirm rough opening is approximately 2” wider than drain length to
accommodate backer board and wall tile thickness (A 38” rough opening will close to almost a 36” finish opening based on the
thickness of materials).
Step 3 - Flexible Sealant Application #1
Cut a 2x4 to length for use as a Linear Drain placeholder. This allows for a 1/8” gap around the channel’s perimeter to apply a bead
of flexible sealant. Note: Channel depths are 1.25” for the Soleil Collection Tile Insert Linear Drain and 0.78” for all other Soleil
Collection Linear Drains.

Step 7 - Flexible Sealant Application #2
