Sink Installation Guide
There are two different ways to mount a vessel sink.
The first is the "above counter method" which is the most
popular method and can be used for any shape or style of
vessel sink. The second is the "recessed method" which
can only be used for perfectly rounded vessel sinks (bowl
or cone) that have a smooth outer edge and are made of
a solid material such as stone, wood or copper.
In the "above counter method" the vessel sink is held in
place by the drain, adhesive between the flat bottom of
the sink and the countertop, and the weight of the sink
itself.
The “recessed method” results in a much sturdier installa-
tion as a larger contact area between the sink and coun-
tertop exists, adhesive used underneath the counter holds
the sink in place. The process for installing a glass vessel
is the same, however a mounting ring or thick rubber
gasket needs to be used between the top of the counter
and the bottom of the sink to prevent cracking.
ABOVE COUNTER MOUNTING
Ensure you have the appropriate sized hole in your coun-
tertop. It should be just large enough to allow the thread-
ed drain pipe to fit through it but not the nut that is
screwed on to this pipe.
Apply a moderate amount of clear kitchen and bath rated
adhesive / caulking underneath the sink on the flattest
part around the drain. Flip the sink over and set it on your
countertop, lining up the hole in your sink and the hole in
the countertop.
Remove the nut attached to the threaded pipe of the drain
and place the drain assembly along with the upper most
rubber drain gasket (if provided) into the sinks drain hole.
RECESSED MOUNTING
Ensure you have a hole cut out in your countertop large
enough to accommodate the sink without letting it fall
through the opening.
Place the sink in the cut out area, leveling each axis to
make sure the fit is correct. From underneath the counter,
apply a bead of silicone between the sink and countertop.
Remove the nut attached to the threaded pipe of the drain
and place the drain assembly along with the upper most
rubber drain gasket (if provided) into the sinks drain hole.
DRAIN ATTACHMENT
From underneath the countertop, attach the lower most
rubber gasket and the nut onto the drain pipe. Ensure the
drain tail pipe is seated inside the P trap adapter / female
trap adapter as shown.
Thoroughly tighten the nut onto the threaded pipe of the
drain, securing the sink and drain in place.
Tighten the female trap adapter attached to your drainage
pipe until it securely grips the drains tailpipe.
* Occasionally plumbers putty or silicone may be required
between the drain and sink to ensure a leak proof seal.
Test this by running the water and evaluating.
