Installation Guide

NOTE: The sink provided is an undermount and is to be installed
with 1/8” countertop overhang. The template provided with the sink
illustrates the appropriate countertop cutout for an undermount in-
stallation - do not use this template for top mount installations.
Sink installation recommended for professional installers only.
1. Position template on countertop. Find the center of the sink tem-
plate and align it with the center mark that you have drawn on the
countertop. Position the template front to rear, so that sink will not
interfere with the cabinet.
NOTE: Alternate method - Create your own template. (see next
page). Paper and/or cardboard templates are supplied only as a
guide. Using the actual sink ensures a more accurate cutout.
2. Trace a line around the template. Cut along the inside of this line
to provide opening.
3. Attach the undermount clips.
Position bowl so that reveal is equidistant. Then on underside of
countertop, drill holes for the undermount clips. Use a drill bit with
stop block to avoid drilling through the top. For 1/2” countertop
material, drill 3/8” deep holes.
Fasten the undermount clips to countertop loosely. Follow the lo-
cations on the template that comes with the sink. Drill the holes 1”
back from the cutout edge.
NOTE: The fastener screws may be too long for some installa-
tions. If this is the case, make a brace out of wood or solid surfacing, butt it up against the sink, and,
on site, screw it into the cabinet wall. Measure the thickness of the brace and the cabinet wall so the
screw does not go through to the other side of the cabinet.
4. Install the sink.
Clean the bottom of the countertop and the top ange (or lip) of the sink with denatured alcohol.
Then apply a bead of high quality silicone adhesive to the top edge of the bowl ange and position
the bowl in the countertop. Press silicone onto countertop.
Tighten fasteners until undermount clips are snug against sink. Check alignment of sink to counter-
top opening. Tighten down fasteners evenly. Be careful not to overtighten.
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.
Remove excess sealant from the inside lip of the bowl using appropriate cleaner on a clean rag.
