1/4” Overhang
The countertop extends 1/4” over the
edge of the sink on all sides.
INSTALLATION OPTIONS
Ruvati sinks can be installed either with a 1/4” reveal, flush fit, or with a negative reveal (overhang).
1/4” Reveal
The countertop edge sits approximately
1/4” back from the edge of the sink and
exposes the rim of the sink.
Flush Fit
The countertop meets the edge of the
sink, fitting flush with the sink bowl.

1. Place template on countertop. Position
it such that the sink will have proper
clearance from cabinet.
2. Trace a line around the template.
Determine what “reveal”you want
your sink to have (see previous page)
and based on that, adjust the line
accordingly. Cut along the line.
3. Turn the countertop upside down,
and mark evenly-spaced positions
for the anchors for the mounting clip.
We recommend 3 mounting clips for
the sink sides 20” and longer, and 2
mounting clips for the shorter sides.
5.Clean the underside of the countertop
and the rim of the sink. Using a good
quality silicone caulk, apply silicone
caulk evenly around the rim of the
sink.
6.Place sink over the countertop
opening. Attach the mounting clips
and tighten the screws until
mounting clips are snug against sink.
7.Check alignment of sink to countertop
opening and move slightly if you have
to.
8.Tighten down screws evenly
without overtightening. Remove
excess silicone.
NOTE: The following instructions are for solid stone countertop (granite, marble or
cultured stone) countertops.

(Note: If you are using a wooden countertop use
a proper wood screw (not provided) instead of the
stud. Screw the Mounting Clip securely to the
wooden countertop)
Using a 1/4" drill-bit equipped with
a depth stop, drill 1/4" wide and
3/8" deep holes into the countertop.

Care and Maintenance
•Clean regularly with dish-washing
detergent and warm water.
•Make a habit of drying your sink after
use. This is not necessary, but a good
practice, and will ensure that no build
up of limescale occurs.
•Never let soap or other household
cleaners dry on the surface of the sink.
Most products contain additives
which will aect the nish of the sink.
•Never pour gasoline, acid, alkali, bleach
or any solvents in general into or onto
the sink because they can interact with
the material of the sink and damage it.
•Never use a steel wool pad, or
abrasive cleaning material to clean
your sink. Doing so may damage the
sink’s surface and cause discoloration.
