Installation Guide

Installation Instructions
Topmount sinks are designed to be mounted over the countertop. They are available in stainless steel, porcelain, copper
and bronze.
In addition to silcone caulking, various styles of clips are used to further secure sinks to the counter. Below are
examples of two different clips, and how they attach, when installing MX and US styles of stainless steel sinks.
• Determine the locations for the clip brackets around
the perimeter of the sink. Pre-drill holes for the clips
using appropriate methods for the countertop material.
• Clean the surfaces of the sink and countertop which
will meet, with denatured alcohol.
• Evenly apply a bead of silicone along perimeter edge
of the opening on the top of the countertop.

• Carefully align the sink over the countertop opening.
• Evenly apply pressure to the sink securing a seal of
the silicone against the countertop.
• Re-check that the sink is evenly aligned with the
countertop.
• Attach and tighten the clip brackets against
the edge of the sink. Do not tighten one screw
completely before others. Partially tighten one clip
then the one across from it, and so on until all clips
are fully tightened. This will safeguard against an
uneven or insecure installation.
• Use a cloth with denatured alcohol along the
perimeter of the sink and countertop to remove any
excess sealant.
