Tools and Materials
Thank You For Choosing Kohler Company
We appreciate your commitment to Kohler quality. Please take a few
minutes to review this manual before you start installation. If you
encounter any installation or performance problems, please don’t
hesitate to contact us. Our phone numbers and website are listed on
the back cover. Thanks again for choosing Kohler Company.
Before You Begin
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Prior to installation, unpack the new sink and inspect it for
damage. Return the sink to its protective carton until you are
ready to install it.
This sink is not intended for undercounter installation.
Inspect the drain and supply tubing. Replace if necessary.
Due to the variety of installations possible with this sink, you
may need to use procedures other than those described. Because
of the variety of tiles available, you must take careful
measurements prior to installation.
It is very important that the proper materials are used with your
sink. Proper selection of tile is critical for a secure installation.
Because of the variance in tile thickness, your carpenter, tiler, and
plumber must be aware of the exact type of tile you choose.
To ensure a safe and damage-free installation, two people should
install the sink.

Acceptable underlayments include:
•Tile backer board over 3/4″(1.9cm) exterior grade plywood
•3/4″(1.9cm) exterior grade plywood
IMPORTANT! Do not use:
•Flakeboard
•Interior grade plywood

Preparation (cont.)
Determine the desired location for the sink. Draw the cut-out line
based on the measurements provided in the Cut-Out Information
table. Provide adequate clearance between the sink, cabinet, and
backsplash.

2. Install the Sink
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Cast
iron sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink.
Cut out the opening by carefully following the pencil line traced
from the template.
Measure and compare the thickness of the sink rim and the tile.
The rim thickness on this sink is 3/8″(1cm) plus or minus 1/32″
(1mm). Because of the varying thickness of the tile and sink, or if
adhesive or mortar bed installation is used, make allowances to
shim the sink, or route the underlayment as required.
NOTE: This sink is designed to be installed flush with or slightly
lower than the surrounding tile.
NOTE: If the tiled countertop transitions into a laminated
countertop, the laminated countertop must be installed after the tile
has been installed to ensure a flush transition between the two
surfaces.
Position the sink in the countertop opening. Verify the fit and
position.
Carefully remove the sink.
Install the faucet and strainer(s) to the sink according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Place a 1″(2.5cm) spot of sealant at each corner of the frame
where it will contact the sink.
NOTE: Apply additional sealant if using shims.

Install the Sink (cont.)
Carefully re-position the sink in the countertop opening.
Tile and grout to allow an acceptable space between the tile and
sink.
To absorb the vibration from a garbage disposal, apply sealant
between the sink and tile directly adjacent to the sink rim. This
will prevent the grout from cracking around the sink.
Allow the sealant to cure for at least 30 minutes before
proceeding.
Install the garbage disposal, if desired. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Connect and tighten the trap to the drain, and complete the water
supply connections to the faucet according to the instructions
packed with the faucet.
Run water into the sink and check for leaks.
Clean up with a non-abrasive cleaner.

assurer une installation correct. A cause des diverses épaisseurs
des carreaux, les différents Corps de Métiers doivent connaître le
