Installation Guide

4. Set the kitchen sink into position being
careful that the overhang is uniform and
aligned to the cut-out.
5. Cut 3” wide strips of 3/4” thick plywood
and trial fit around the perimeter of the
Swanstone kitchen sink (except where
faucet holes will be located). It is suggested
that a 1/4” space exist between the plywood
strips and the sink flange.
6. Join the plywood strips to the countertop
surface with contact cement.
7. Remove the Swanstone sink and clean both the countertop and sink flange with denatured alcohol.
8. Apply a continuous bead of 100 percent silicone around the sink flange and set the sink into place.
9. Using the sink clamps and screws provided by Swan (1P3115-10), secure the Swanstone kitchen sink into place. A sink clip
should be positioned everywhere there is a counterbore located on the sink flange.
10. Lightly tighten screws so sink position can be verified.
11. Tighten screws securely. If desired, additional temporary clamps (not provided) can be used to pull the sink flange tightly to
counter.
12. Use mineral spirits and a soft cloth to remove excess silicone that has been squeezed out by the mounting procedure. Be sure
that there is a consistent seal along the interior perimeter of the sink.

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION OF A SWANSTONE SOLID SURFACE KITCHEN SINK
TO A MATERIAL OTHER THAN SWANSTONE
The Swan Corporation will not be liable for damage of the
countertop during or after installation.
Prior to installation, inspect all product for damage. Do not
install damaged material.
A Swanstone kitchen sink can be mounted to a countertop sur-
face other than Swanstone with 100% silicone adhesive only.
Mounting the Swanstone solid surface kitchen sink to any solid
surface
other than Swanstone with a hard seam will void the
SWANSTONE warranty.
