INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
REPLACING YOUR OLD SINK:
Cutting of your existing countertop may not be necessary. Refer to cutout dimensions on next
page. Place the sink in the hole and make sure the rim of your new sink rests on your counter
top. If you need to adjust the hole size, use a saber saw or keyhole saw then continue with the
instructions below.
IMPORTANT - Refer to the counter top manufacturer to determine the appropriate
cutting method for your counter top.
IMPORTANT - The clip system on this sink is designed to hold it in place while the
silicone dries. If the sink opening is too large the sink can be weighed down to hold it in
place while the silicone dries. Take care not to scratch the sink if using a weight.
IMPORTANT - Leave protective lm on during installation.
MOUNTING SINK IN A NEW COUNTER TOP:
+ Place the sink upside down on the counter top in the desired location. Please allow
adequate room from the back of the counter top for manufacturing tolerances +/- 1/8”.
+ With a pencil, trace a line around the outside edge of the sink onto the counter top.
+ Remove sink from the counter top.
+ Refer to cutout dimensions on next page, locate your sink style and then center
the cutout dimension within the traced outline of the sink on the counter top.
+ Cut the counter top on this new line.
+ Install faucet and drains to sink per manufacturers instructions.
+ Peel back protective lm around drain hole before installing drains.
+ When installing drain to sink make sure to use a high grade silicone caulk.
Warning: Do not use plumber’s putty. It will cause product failure and void
warranty. Use a high grade silicone caulk for all necessary locations.
+ Place the sink in the hole at an angle. (Fig 1)
+ Push down on the front and sides of the sink while holding the faucet side against the
counter top. Push down rmly to make sure the sink sits ush on the countertop. (Fig 2)
+ Shift sink side to side and front to back to make sure the clips “seat properly”.
+ If sink needs removed for any reason push in on clips from underneath and then push up
gently on sink until free.
+ Peel back protective lm around edge of sink before applying silicone. Apply a high
grade of color-matched silicone caulk. (Fig 3)
+ Connect all plumbing.
Warning: Do not use plumber’s putty. It will cause product failure and void
warranty. Use a high grade silicone caulk for all necessary locations.
