Method Three
Installation Instructions
for Undermount Series "The Big Sinks"
Notes for Fabricator/Installer
1. Installation is based on the use of a cabinet with a 24" front-to-back dimension.
2. Installation of Undermount Series - The Big Sinks is based on "sandwiching" the
rim of the sink between the countertop and 1/2" plywood sheet. The 1/2" plywood
sheet rests on top of the cabinet. The front edge of the countertop must be built-up
to hide this 1/2" underlayment.
3. Method Three is based on installing Undermount Series sinks, including the
plywood reinforcement sheet, with the countertop at the fabricator's shop.
4. American Standard accepts no liability for damage to the solid surface countertop, or
sink fixture, during installation.
5. Inspect the sink fixture for any shipping damage, prior to installation. Do not install a
damaged unit.
6. Aesthetics are essential to presentation of the installed sink unit. Take the necessary care
to ensure that the exposed silicone joint is kept to a minimum, the sink is properly
aligned to the cut-out, and excess silicone is cleaned from the sink.
7. We have supplied within the sink carton: sink strainers, 1/8" masonite template, and a
product use and care sheet + Product Warranty.
8.
Undermount sinks have a striking silk polished profile on the sink rim. To highlight this
unique design feature, our installation system reveals up to 1/16" of the sink rim flat.
