Tools and Materials
Before You Begin
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Cast
iron lavatories are very heavy. Get help lifting the lavatory
into place.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. When securing the
lavatory to the countertop/vanity, use the type of sealant
recommended by the countertop/vanity manufacturer. Refer
to the countertop/vanity manufacturer’s instructions for this
information, as certain sealants may damage the finish of the
countertop/vanity.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
If you are replacing an existing lavatory, turn off the water supply
to the faucet. Open the faucet valves to relieve pressure, then
disconnect the supply lines. Disconnect the drain assembly,
remove the trap, then remove the lavatory.
For new installations, ensure the water supply lines, drain piping,
vanity, and/or countertop is in place before proceeding with the
lavatory installation.

When selecting a faucet for the lavatory, ensure the spout will
reach a minimum of 4″(10.2 cm) over the rim of the lavatory and
the stream of water is directed toward the center of the lavatory
basin.
Never rest or store the lavatory on the drain surface or threaded
studs.
Prior to installation, unpack the new lavatory and inspect it for
damage. Return the lavatory to its protective carton until you are
ready to install it.
For replacement installations, make sure the existing cutout is the
same size or smaller than needed for the new lavatory.
You can choose between a wall-mount or countertop faucet
installation, depending upon the setting and styling you desire. A
wall-mount faucet is recommended.
If installing multiple components (such as a cabinet, countertop,
or lavatory) read all product installation instructions before
beginning. Some components should be installed before others.
