UNDERMOUNT SINK INSTALLATION ALTERNATIVE 2

Sink Installation Procedure

1. American Standard provides DXF files for this product at www.americanstandard-us.com. This outline of the

countertop cut-out is full scale and can be used to program CNC machinery. The cut-out has been designed to

crate a uniform reveal around the sink rim.

2. Finish the cut-out edge with the desired router bit (ie, chamfer, bullnose, Roman ogee).

3. Mount a support frame to adjacent cabinets.

A) The position of the frame members (dimensions X and Y) is determined by the sink cut-out location

(see figure). Check front to back dimensions for the sink cut out to ensure adequate clearance for the

faucet and possible use of a flip tray.

B) The elevation of the support frame (dimension Z) will be determined by the material thickness of the

countertop build-up, or substrate.

4. Assemble sink strainers to sink.

5. Clean sink rim and countertop mating surface with solvent.

6. Apply a continuous (translucent color) bead of silicone around the sink rim.

7. Drop sink into opening of support members.

8. Lay countertop onto cabinets.

9. Align the sink to the cut-out so that a uniform reveal shows around the periphery of the cut-out.
