Undermount Installation
Undermount sinks are mounted from below the counter . If you are
installing a topmount or “drop-in” sink, please see “topmount installation”
on page 8 .
NOTE: We highly recommend that the undermounting be
performed by a professional installer . Improper installation
will void the warranty .
1
Preparing the area
Sink template (1A) shows cut-lines for both undermount and
topmount installations. Review it carefully and follow the
undermount cut-lines only to install the sink under your counter.
- Remove the sink template (1A) from the box .
- Place the template (1A) on the desired counter space
surface . Keep in mind that the typical setback is
3 1/2 - 4 in . (89 mm - 102 mm) from the front of the
counter to the sink bowl (depending on the cabinet
structure, the counter overhang, the type of sink bowl,
and the deck size) .
- Make sure the template (1A) is parallel to the front of the
counter .

Cutting the counter
CAUTION:
Always wear safety goggles and gloves when
using power tools to prevent personal injury .
- Ensure that the template (1A) is placed so that the sink will clear all objects and the mounting hardware can be installed . Secure
the template to the counter top using masking tape .
- Place a support underneath the cut-out portion of the counter to prevent it from falling during cutting . Use an appropriate saw to
cut along the undermount cutline .
- Drill the desired number of 1-3/8 in . (35mm) mounting holes for your faucet and accessories in any of the 3 available locations .

Testing the fit of the sink
- Place the sink (A) underneath the cut-out in the counter
to test its fit. Ensure that the reveal is equal on all four
sides when viewed from above . Make adjustments to
the cut-out if necessary .
-
When you are satisfied with the location of the sink (A),
mark the location of the edge of the counter cut-out on
top of the sink and all around the sink flange underneath
the counter .
- Set the sink aside and proceed with the rest of the
installation .
