Installation Guide:
Drop In Installation:
Since your D’Vontz copper sink is manufactured by hand, we are unable to provide a
template due to variations that occur in width and length. Please proceed as follows:
Measure width across top of sink from outside edge to outside edge. Approximate width
will be 17”. Determine countertop hole size by subtracting 1” from this dimension. Layout
this dimension on countertop and cut hole.
Once countertop hole is cut, set sink inside hole and center. Trace outside rim of sink
lightly with a pencil. Remove sink and apply a 3/8” bead of silicon sealant around hole
centered on the pencil line.
Before setting sink in countertop, prepare and attach drain to sink. We
recommend clear silicone sealant under tailpiece flange. See Figure B. After tightening
drain, remove excess putty or sealer. Allow silicone to dry before removal.
Carefully set sink into countertop hole and sealant. Once positioned, carefully remove
excess sealant from the outside rim of sink with a soft cotton rag while holding downward
pressure on sink.
Sink must set a minimum of 12 hours for sealer to set before putting any movement or
pressure on sink.
Under Mount Installation for Flat Edged Sink:
Measure inside diameter of sink. Subtract one inch from this dimension to obtain
dimension of countertop opening.
NOTE: During the installation of this product, the only sealant or adhesive that is Manufacturer Approved is a
100% Silicone based product. Failure to use Kitchen and Bath 100% Silicone based products will VOID ALL
manufacturer warranties and manufacturer finish warranties. Specifically, the use of Plumbers Putty is
EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED and will VOID ALL manufacturer warranties and manufacturer finish warranties.

Care and Maintenance:
Caring for our copper bowls is surprisingly easy. Rinsing your sink with clean water and
drying with a soft cloth after each use will help keep your sink looking new. For cleaning
use a liquid dish soap and water with a non-abrasive sponge. Never use abrasive
cleaners. Most copper sinks are considered a “live” finish, meaning the patina (finish)
will change over time. If you ordered the Dark Smoke finish, this patina will continue to
darken over time as you use your sink giving an “Old World” look. Do not use copper
cleaners, abrasive materials or harsh chemicals on this sink as this will remove the
patina. If a chemical lightens the finish, don’t worry, time will return the darker patina.
For maintaining the Shiny Copper finish, copper cleaners or lemon juice will restore it to
its original luster. For added protection, paste waxes such as Flitz Furniture and Faucet
Wax or any quality automotive wax will help maintain the beauty of your sink as well as
help keep it clean.
