TOPMOUNT INSTALLATION
Figure 2
Figure 1
1. Place the sink cut-out template on the
countertop, where the sink is to be installed.
Trace around the outside perimeter with a
pencil (Figure 1). Note: Make sure you are using
the top-mount template, and not the undermount
2. After tracing, remove the template. Use a
straight edge if necessary to straighten out the
traced outline. Use a drill with a 7/8” spade bit
to drill four pilot holes, one in each corner inside
the outline. These holes will be your starting
points for sawing the hole, so they must be large
enough to t the blade of a jig saw or keyhole
saw.
3. Cut the hole for the sink, using a jig saw to cut
along the outline between each hole (Figure 2).
4. Attach mounting clips to the sink body using
the 2 short screws provided. Make sure the
hooked side of the mounting clip is facing
away from the sink (Figure 3).
5. Before installing the sink, place a bead of plumbers
putty along the edge of the drain opening inside
the sink and press the strainer body into place.
Turn the sink upside down and tighten the strainer
locknut with a wrench. While tightening, hold the
strainer steady with pliers the keep it from turning.
Wipe away any excess plumber’s putty.
6. Fit the gasket on the sink drain pipe (tailpiece)
and attach it to the strainer bottom with a slip
nut. Tighten this nut by hand. For most threaded
connections, apply a sealant such as plumbers
putty, silicone tape or “pipe dope” to the threads to
ensure a watertight connection.
7. Attach the drain pipe assembly that comes with
your sink.
