1. Ruvati recommends that this sink be installed only by a professional

installer.

2. Inspect the sink and box contents immediately upon delivery. If you see any

shipping damages on the sink, or missing parts, contact Ruvati Support.

method prior to installation. Ruvati is not responsible for improper

installation or damage to sink, cabinet or countertop.

fiamma ® BASE CABINET PREPARATION AND SUPPORT FRAME 1. This fireclay sink requires custom cabinetry or modification of stock cabinet to ensure proper fit and support. A solid wood SUPPORT FRAME must be constructed under the sink (Figure 2). The support frame must be able to hold up to 300 lbs (weight of the sink when full). Some of the stock cabinets available in the market are made of cheap MDF particle boards and may not have the strength and durability to support a heavy fireclay sink.

fiamma ® COUNTERTOP PREPARATION 1. No cutout template is provided due to the custom nature of each installation, and due to small dimensional variations in the handcrafting process of the fireclay sinks. The actual sink should be used as a template guide for each installation. 2. The countertop cutout can be customized based on your design preference. Ruvati recommends a 1/8” - 1/4” positive reveal on the two sides and back (Figure 3).
