Installation Guide

Sink installation recommended for professional installers only.
1. Cut out the template and place it on the countertop, making sure
that the sink front is parallel to the front of the counter. Be sure the
sink is properly centered, both front to back and side to side. Take
into consideration adequate clearance for the faucet, backsplash,
and any accessories such as a soap/lotion dispenser.
Check for adequate clearance relative to cabinet walls and pull-out
or tilt-down drawers.
Tape the template in place.
Trace around the template.
NOTE: Alternate method - Create your own template. (see next page). Paper and/or cardboard tem-
plates are supplied only as a guide. Using the actual sink ensures a more accurate cutout.
2. Place a brace under the countertop to support the sink cutout
area. This will also make it easier to do the sink cutout.
Cut the countertop along the template line with the proper tool for
the countertop material.
3. Trial t the sink, by inserting it into the counterop to test whether
the cutout is the correct size.
Mark the edge of the sink with masking tape on the countertop.
Remove the sink and make any necessary adjustments in the cut-
out or placement. (The easiest way to handle the sink is at the drain
hole(s), especially if it is a double bowl sink.)
4. Install faucet and other accessories such as side spray or soap/lotion dispenser onto the sink.
Attach supply lines (not included) to faucet following appropriate instructions. (Do not install strainer
basket(s) until after the sink is in place.
5. Clean the underside of sink ange and sealing surface of countertop opening thoroughly to re-
move dirt or residue. Thoroughly dry and apply a continuous bead of a high quality silicone adhesive
caulk (not supplied) to the underside of the sink ange near the edge. Position sink into countertop
opening inside the masking tape.
6. Lower the sink into the hole, following the guidelines created by the masking tape.
