Installation Guide

STEP 2
Make the sink cutout.
Find the center of the sink template and align it with
the center mark drawn on the countertop. Place the
template with the front edge along the front edge line
drawn on the countertop.
Secure the plywood template to the countertop using
6” bar clamps. Place the router over the plywood
template and cut around it, making sure the router
follows the edge of the template. This creates the sink
cutout.
Finish the inside of the sink cutout according to the
recommendation of the countertop material supplier.
STEP 3
Attach the undermount clips.
Position bowl so that reveal is centered. Then on
underside of countertop, drill holes for brass inserts for
undermount clips. Use a drill bit with stop block to avoid
drilling through the top. For 1/2” countertop material,
drill 3/8” deep holes.
Use three clips on the long sides of the sink, and two clips
on the short sides of the sink, or follow the locations on
the template that comes with the sink. Drill the holes 1”
back from the cutout edge.
NOTE: the undermount clips is 3/4” wide and 2-3/4” in
length. The clip may be too long for some installations.
If this is the case, make a brace out of wood or solid
surfacing, butt it up against the sink, and, on site, screw it
into the cabinet wall. Measure the thickness of the brace
and the cabinet wall so the screw does not go through to
the other side of the cabinet.
STEP 4
Install the sink.
Clean the bottom of the countertop and the top flange
(or lip) of the sink with denatured alcohol. Apply a bead
of silicone adhesive sealant to the top edge of the bowl
flange and position the bowl in the countertop.
STEP 5
Tighten the clips.
Tap the brass inserts (anchors) for clips into the pre-drilled
holes with the slotted ends first.
Thread a wingnut onto a screw, near the head. With
washer and slotted clip in place, tighten the screw to
anchor the brass clip into the countertop material. Repeat
for each clip.
Hand tighten the wing nuts to secure the sink bowl.
NOTE: do not fully tighten each clip when installed.
Partially tighten a clip, then partially tighten the clip
across from it. After each clip is partially tightened, repeat
the process, fully tightening each clip. This ensures a
secure installation and avoids damage to the sink.
Remove excess sealant from the inside lip of the bowl
using appropriate cleaner on a clean rag.
