Installation Guide

3. Attach the undermount clips.
From the underside of the sink, place one clamp near the center and tighten by hand enough to hold the sink in place.
This applies to all four sides. Fastening remaining clamps in position and hand tighten. Space clamps as equally as
possible. Provided hardware will accommodate countertops thicker than 3/4” up to 1-1/2”.
NOTE: do not fully tighten one clip at a time. Partially tighten a clip, then partially tighten the clip across from it. After
each clip is partially tightened, repeat the process, fully tightening each clip. This ensures a secure installation and
avoids damage to the sink.
4. Remove excess sealant from the inside lip of the bowl using appropriate cleaner on a clean rag.
NOTE: Should your sink ever need replacement, it can be easily removed using a scraper.
The installation method (“F”) the sink and countertop form a continuous system which is per-
fectly level (ushmounted), and has no obstructive edge to get in the way.
Sink installation for Solid Surface Countertops only. Note: This installation is not rec-
ommended for stone, such as granite, quartz or marble. CAUTION: Only a professional
fabricator trained in ushmounting sinks to countertops should perform this task.
1. Measure the countertop for the sink using the appropriate DXF le. The le will indicate
“Flushmount” (“F”) as the correct installation le to choose for your countertop. Download the
le to a CNC programmable machine. The le will consist of two porgrams - the rst one is to
create the cut-out; the second is to mill the notched area.
2. Carefully clean the countertop and frame area to remove all loose debris, oil and contaminants from the surface.
3. Begin the CNC program of routering the countertop. The Flushmount version DXF le will automatically provide the
following programmed steps:
(A) Router the cut-out with a CNC milling machine by using a regular end mill bit.
(B) Mill the outside rim of the sink by choosing the appropriate circumference cutter in accordance with the corner radius
of the sink. Refer to the DXF le for the cut-out. The depth of the notched area will automatically by milled to recess 2mm
(5/64 inch) into the depth of the countertop.
4. Once the routering of the dimensional outline and depth are completed, clean the area of all debris and polish the
inside rim forming the new countertop edge which will border the installed sink. Carefully place the sink into the opening
to check t. The sink should t into the opening easily. Remove sink.
Please note that only an experienced fabricator should perform the ushmount operation. Use of phenolic shim
materials (formica, laminate, etc.) may be used to position the sink to a perfect t by an expert fabricator.
5. Apply silicone caulking to inside edges of countertop sink outline all the way around. Use a generous amount of sili-
cone and leave no gaps or voids anywhere inside the opening.
6. Carefully drop the sink into the caulked area.
7. Apply gentle and even pressure to the frame. Work the sink downward until the top of the frame is ush with the
countertop.
8. Attach the undermount clips.
From the underside of the sink, place one clamp near the center and tighten by hand enough to hold the sink in place.
This applies to all four sides. Fastening remaining clamps in position and hand tighten. Space clamps as equally as
possible. Provided hardware will accommodate countertops thicker than 3/4” up to 1-1/2”.
NOTE: do not fully tighten one clip at a time. Partially tighten a clip, then partially tighten the clip across from it. After
each clip is partially tightened, repeat the process, fully tightening each clip. This ensures a secure installation and
avoids damage to the sink.
9. Remove excess sealant from the inside lip of the bowl using appropriate cleaner on a clean rag.
CAUTION: Excess silicone caulking may squeeze out between the countertop and the sink. Please immediately
wipe clean. Silicone caulking should ll all gaps in the joint to create a seamless seal.
