You will need:
Electric saw with jigsaw tment or a router
Translucent silicone sealant
Notes prior to installation:
• If you are mounting your Belfast into a granite or marble
worktop you must have a fabricator cut the hole for you.
• Due to dimensional tolerances within all ceramic sinks
these instructions should be used as guidelines only.
• The position of your sink will be determined by the
relationship of the sink edges to cabinet gables,
supports and tap location.
• Ensure current plumbing fixtures are long enough to
reach the new sink and it’s location.
• If unsure of fitting your sink we recommend seeking the
advice of a professional fitter.
• All ceramic products should be supported under the
reverse face with a substantial braced shelf similar (Fig.
1.1). The shelf should be designed to allow for small
adjustments in height at each corner and so that it
could be disassembled from the underside in the event
that the sink is accidentally damaged.
Belfast sinks should be tted with a worktop overhang of
approximately 10 mm on the back and sides of the bowl and
the depth of the cut out should allow the front wall of the
sink to project out by half the depth of the sink wall thickness.

Procedure
1. Using the internal measurements of the sink as a base,
measure in 10mm from this and mark on your worktop.
2. Cut out the hole using a jigsaw or router. At this stage
it is advisable to piece all parts of the sink and waste
together to ensure their t within the worktop. You
should try to leave 5mm clearance around the sink to
allow for expansion.
3. Fit any rails and worktop supports when satised with
the position of the sink and waste kit.
4. Remove the sink temporarily to apply a bead of silicone
to the base unit and to the underside of the worktop
overhang, this is designed to oer additional support
between the top rim of the sink and the underside of
the worktop. Replace the sink in desired position and
leave to set to the base unit.
