PRIOR INSTALLING THE SINK
Farmhouse sinks may require custom cabinetry. We
recommend consulting an experienced cabinet maker
for assistance. Providing the cabinet maker with the
actual sink that is to be installed will ensure a custom fit.
Depends on your desired size of the cabinets, you may
or may not need to modify the side panel to fit the sink.
Allow clearance for the water supply lines, drains and a
garbage disposal, if applicable. Build a support frame or
install supporting shelf and brackets from front to back
along the inner sides of the cabinet. The
frame must support the weight of the sink and all
attachments.
The support frame should be positioned so that when
installed, the sink is in line and level with the top of the
cabinet.
DURING THE SINK INSTALLATION
No template is provided since each sink will vary
dimensionally. After centering the sink, trace the outline
of the sink on the counter-top with a pencil to use as a
guide for the cutout. Remember to allow clearance for
any faucets and/or back splashes. Cut the counter-top
accordingly.
Test fit the sink in the opening that was created in the
previous steps. The entire weight of the sink should be
supported by the support frame.
Verify that the sink is in line and level with the top of the
cabinet. Use shims, if needed, to level the sink.
Set the sink and apply your sealant to fill in any gaps
below the sink front, and between the sink and counter-
top. Hold the sink in place to secure. Place the counter-
top onto the sink and remove any excess sealant from
all surfaces
