Installation Instructions

HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR NEW VANITY TOP
BEFORE INSTALLATION: Please inspect your vanity top thoroughly to ensure there are no damages or
defects PRIOR to installation. Warranty DOES NOT cover removal, installation or labor costs.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRANITE AND MARBLE VANITY TOPS
STEP 1: Vanity Preparation
Ensure that the vanity base cabinet on which the vanity top is to be placed is level and properly secured to the wall. Your Tuscany® vanity
top is made from heavy stone material and requires solid support. If the vanity is of a “frameless” design, it is recommended that
additional support be added. Additional wood support should be 1-inch x 1-inch wood sections that run along the top inside edge of the
sides and front of the vanity. The wood sections should be affixed to the vanity using construction adhesive and wood screws that do not
protrude through any exposed sides. Please refer to your cabinet manufacturer’s instructions for installation and additional support
details. Next, place the vanity top onto the base cabinet to ensure proper fitment. Some cabinets may have tight clearances that may
prevent the top from laying level and flush, especially near the sink area. The sink is securely attached to the vanity top with a strong
adhesive and four (4) “L” mounting clips. If additional clearance is needed, removing the obstructing wing nut(s) and “L” mounting clip(s)
may resolve fitment issues. NOTE: Do not remove the threaded rod – only remove the wing nut and “L” mounting clip.
STEP 2: Top Installation
Apply a thin bead of 100% silicone sealant on the cabinet-top edges. Place the vanity top on the vanity with an overhang of ½-inch on the
left and right edges. Allow the sealant to dry per the manufacturer’s instructions.
STEP 3: Backsplash and Side Splash Installation
Be sure the wall is clean, dry and smooth. Repair any holes or uneven sections using a patching compound. Remove loose paint, any
wallpaper or decorative material. Apply two (2) beads of caulking or construction adhesive to the rear of the backsplash (and side splash
if required) and attach the backsplash by pushing it firmly onto the wall.
STEP 4: Faucet and Drain Assembly Installation
Install the faucet and drain assembly per the manufacturer’s instructions. DO NOT tighten the drainpipe connection to the bottom of the
bowl with a wrench as it may result in damage to the bowl. Tighten ONLY by hand.
