Important Information
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Cast iron sinks are
heavy. Get help when lifting or moving.
IMPORTANT! Refer to the Roughing-In and Preparation section
for cabinet dimensional requirements.
IMPORTANT! The cabinet must be installed and secured, and must
be plumb and level.
IMPORTANT! Long screws may damage adjacent cabinets. Ensure
the screws are long enough to secure the support framing, but short
enough not to extend through the walls of adjacent cabinets.
Due to the nature of under-mount installations, Kohler Co.
recommends that under-mount sink installations be performed by
trained and experienced installers.
Use proper fasteners and techniques to ensure the frame will
support a minimum of 300 lbs (136 kg). Locate the fasteners for
easy access in the event the sink needs to be removed.
