ATTENTION INSTALLER:
Please read all information below and keep this installation guide for future
reference.
Ruvati recommends that this sink be installed only by a professional installer.
Sink edges may be sharp and can cause accidental injury if not careful. Wear
cut-resistant protective gloves during installation.
Inspect the sink and box contents immediately upon delivery. If you see any
shipping damages on the sink, or missing parts, contact Ruvati Support.
Templates are only provided as a guide. Place template on sink to ensure the
template will give you the proper cutout for the sink. Ruvati is not responsible
for improper sink or countertop installation. Ruvati is not liable for any
damages to sink or countertop or personal injury during installation.
Follow all local plumbing and building codes.
RUST SPOTS?
This sink is made of T-304 stainless steel which can never rust. If you see rust spots in
your sink, it's due to external rust or iron particle contaminants. These rust particles
attach to the sink surface, forming rust stains. Clean the rust stains with "Barkeeper's
Friend" cleaning powder and a dish scrubbing sponge. Scrub in the direction of the
grain. Use toothbrush for corners and edges. Rinse thoroughly with water.

Sink Cut-Out Template
1. Place template on countertop. Position it such that the sink will have
proper clearance from cabinet.
2. Trace a line around the template. Determine what “reveal” you want your
sink to have (see previous page) and based on that, adjust the line
accordingly. Cut along the line.
3. Turn the countertop upside down,and mark evenly-spaced positions for
the anchors for the mounting clip. We recommend 3 mounting clips for
the longer sides (20" or longer), and 2 mounting clips for the shorter sides.
4. Drill holes for the anchors as shown below (follow countertop
manufacturer’s instructions). Use a
3
/
8
” drill bit with a ½“ Depth Stop to
avoid drilling through the countertop. Secure anchors into the countertop
(use glue if needed) and fasten mounting clips to the anchors using the
screws.
5. Clean the underside of the countertop and the rim of the sink. Apply
silicone caulk evenly around the rim of the sink.
6. Place sink over the countertop opening. Tighten the screws until mounting
clips are snug against sink.
7. Check alignment of sink to countertop opening and move slightly if you
have to.
8. Tighten down clips evenly without overtightening. Remove excess silicone.
1/4” Reveal : The countertop edge sits
approximately 1/4” back from the edge of the
sink and exposes the rim of the sink.
Flush Fit : The countertop meets the edge of
the sink, fitting flush with the sink bowl.
1/4” Overhang : The countertop extends 1/4”
over the edge of the sink on all sides.
Alignment of sink to cutout is critical for a superior fit and finished look.
Depending on your aesthetic preference, Ruvati sinks can be installed either
with a 1/4” reveal, flush fit, or with a negative reveal. Decide on your
prefence prior to installation.
