• READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
• Follow all local plumbing and building codes.
• Before installation, please inspect the sink for damage. Do not install a damaged sink.
• For drop-in sinks proceed to section I. For undermount sinks proceed to section II.
I. DROP-IN INSTALLATION
Note: The clips provided are designed for a maximum counter-
top thickness of 1-3/4”.
1. To determine the proper size opening for your sink place
the sink upside down on top of the countertop. Mark or trace
line around the edge of the rim. Then cut an opening 5/16”
inside the line. (See illustration A).
2. Set new sink in opening to see that it fits properly.
3. Faucet Holes: Faucet holes can be identified by the faucet
hole emboss on the underside of the faucet deck and the
corresponding circular labels located on the faucet deck top
surface. Before punching the holes please verify that the
circular labels are properly centered over the faucet hole
emboss. The faucet hole should be carefully penetrated
from above the sink using a chisel or screw driver and
tapping lightly on the circular labels. (See illustration B). If
necessary the hole can been enlarged using a metal hole
saw, a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade or a metal file.
Note: MUST SUPPORT FAUCET DECK ON BOTH SIDES
WHILE PUNCHING FAUCET HOLES.
4. Attach faucet, drain fittings and accessories according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
5. As shown in illustration C and D, align clips with the corre-
sponding slots in the sinks per illustration C. It may be
necessary to use a mallet and wood block to push it into
place, as shown in illustration D. Make sure metal portion of
the clip (clamp) is in the open position so that sink can be
dropped into cutout.
6. Apply a bead of a high quality silicone adhesive caulk to the
underside of the sink rim and position sink into countertop
opening. CAUTION: Use only a high quality silicone
adhesive caulk.
7. Swing metal portion of clip (clamp) into the clip base. (See
illustration E). Using a Phillips screw driver, turn screw until
clamp engages the countertop. Use shims if necessary.
8. Remove excess caulk and allow caulk to cure following the
caulk manufacturer’s instructions.
