of clearance to countertop
installation. Use a level to
make sure the sink is even and
will drain correctly.

silicone sealant between the rim of the sink and the countertop
to create a watertight seal. Hook up the drain underneath
according to the drain instructions and the sink will be ready
for use. DO NOT overtighten your disposal drain, this could
damage your kitchen sink. Use plumbers putty to make a water
tight seal between the drain and the sink.
