INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL ADVICE

Please read these instructions before you begin installation.

1. Unpack the sink and inspect for any shipping damage before starting the installation.

Do not install a damaged unit.

2. American Standard accepts no liability for damage to the countertop, or sink fixture, during

installation.

3. Installation of this product may require custom cabinetry. We recommend that an experienced cabinet

maker build the new cabinet, or is responsible for modifications to existing cabinets, for this product.

4. To ensure a proper fit between the sink and the cabinet, and between the sink and the countertop

cut-out, and between the sink and any support framing, the fabricator/installer should have the actual

product in-hand.

5. Designer Series undermount sinks include a factory supplied masonite template to assist the

fabricator/installer when preparing the countertop cut-out. This template has been sized to create a

uniform reveal of the sink rim, and this reveal is recommended in order to compensate for the

dimensional variability of hand fabricated product. Any deviation from this recommendation is

certainly permissible, but must be based upon agreement between the customer and the

fabricator/installer … and any changes should be planned with the actual product in-hand for

dimensional verification.

6. The aesthetics of the installed product is of the utmost importance. Please take the necessary

care to ensure that any exposed silicone joints are kept to a minimum, the sink is properly

aligned to the cut-out, and excess silicone is cleaned from the sink.

7. This product is hand fabricated, and dimensions of the the product will vary from one unit to the

next. Industry accepted dimensional variance for this type of product is within 1/8".

8. Product specifications are available on our website at www.americanstandard-us.com
