Before starting your installation, please
take a few minutes to read these
instructions carefully.
Ensure that the correct item has been
received as ordered.
Consult local building/plumbing codes and
ensure that the installation complies with
local standards.
Prior to installation ensure there is
adequate clearance between the
backsplash, faucet, fixtures and cabinets
for the new basin.
Remove the item from its packaging and
inspect it thoroughly for damage and
defects. Damage claims must be made
directly to the freight carrier. Defective or
damaged items must not be installed.
Do not cut your counter-top before
receiving your sink. All measurements
should be checked against the actual sink
to ensure proper fit.

Site Preperation
Step 1
Place sink upside down on the counter-top in the desired position. Trace the profile
of the sink onto the counter-top. Mark the location of the faucet hole centerline on the
counter-top.
Step 2
Determine the desired amount of overhang, then measure in from the traced profile of
the sink (A1). Cut the counter-top along A2 using the method recommended by your
counter-top manufacturer.

Step 3
Install undermount clamps in accordance with the clamp manufactures and counter-top
manufacturer’s guidelines. After dry-fitting the counter-top and checking the alignment
to the opening apply a bead of silicone to the rim of the sink. Center the basin and tighten
the screws to secure the bowl to the counter top.
Step 4
Mount the drain (not included) taking care to follow the manufacture’s instructions. Apply
a bead of plumber’s putty on the underside of the drain in order to ensure a water tight
seal between the sink and the drain. Remove the excess putty after the installation of the
drain is complete.
