INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

UNDERMOUNT STAINLESS STEEL SINKS

These instructions are for installing Transolid

undermount stainless steel sinks.

Undermount sinks are sinks that are mounted from below the countertop. If you are install-

ing another type of sink, such as a Drop-In (Top Mount) sink which is installed on top of the

counter, please refer to instructions specically for those sinks.

ATTENTION INSTALLER:

Transolid

recommends that undermount sinks and routering of solid surface material

should be installed by a professional installer for best results.

Transolid

undermount sinks should only be fastened to a solid surface countertop

(i.e. granite, quartz, marble, stone, solid surface material).

Requirements vary for installation in a granite, marble, stone, or butcher block countertop.

Please contact your fabricator for specic details.

Transolid

is not responsible for sink or countertop if damaged during installation.

Metal edges may be sharp - use caution when handling.

Remember, it is your responsibility to follow all local plumbing and building codes.

Inspect sink for damage prior to beginning installation. Do not install a damaged unit.

The warranty will be voided if these installation instructions are not followed.

Templates are supplied only as a guide. The physical use of the sink will ensure a more

accurate cutout.

undermount stainless steel sink.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - UNDERMOUNT STAINLESS STEEL SINKS NOTE: The sink provided is an undermount and is to be installed with 1/8” countertop overhang.

Create your own template. 1. Using a framing square, draw a line from front to back on the bottom of the countertop, indicating the location of the center of the sink. Draw a line parallel to the front edge of the countertop, indicating how far back the sink should be located. Typically the setback is 2” to 2-1/2” from the front of the counter, depending on the countertop overhang, the type of sink bowl and the size of the sink deck.

Suggestions for the Care and Cleaning of Transolid® Stainless Steel Sinks When it comes to maintenance, Transolid® recommends to be consistent in your cleaning. It is better to clean on a more frequent basis and avoid the need for heavy duty cleaning. Make sure your sink is clean and dry when not in use. This is the best method of preventive maintenance. Keep the sink water spot free and shiny by rinsing and towel drying after every use.
