Drilling the holes for the undermount clips
CAUTION:
Always wear safety goggles and gloves when
using power tools to prevent personal injury .
- On the underside of the counter, mark the location of the ten
holes for the undermount clips (E) . These holes should be
equally spaced around the sink flange outline as shown below.
They should be set back from the sink flange outline by 5/8 in
(15 .8mm) .
- Using an electric drill with a 3/8 in . (10 mm) drill bit, drill each
hole so that it is 3/8 in . (10 mm) in diameter and 5/8 in . (15 .8
mm) deep . Use a drill bit depth stop to ensure you do not drill
through the counter top .

Installing the sink
NOTE: Install the vanishing edge
TM
strainer according to the
instructions before completing this step . See page 9 .
-
Press fit the threaded anchor inserts (E) into the holes drilled into the
underside of the countertop . Use a bolt to make this process easier if
required .
-
Loosely thread the undermount bolts and clips into the threaded
anchor inserts and align them parallel to the sink flange outline so
they do not interfere with the placement of the sink .
- Place a small bead of silicone sealant (not included) around the outer
top perimeter of the sink flange as shown below.
- Carefully place the sink (A) into its location under the counter, lining
up the pencil marks on the top of the sink that you made when you
tested the fit of the sink.
- Carefully rotate the clamps of the undermount clips (E) over the
clamp bar on the sink (A) and gently tighten the bolts (see tightening
sequence) of the undermount clips (E), working from side to side to
fasten the sink (A) firmly. Recheck the alignment visually from above.
- Wipe away any excess silicone and, for best results, allow the bond
to rest undisturbed for 8 hours or overnight .
- Install the counter, faucet, and all other plumbing as per
manufacturer’s instructions .
NOTE: The supply lines, which connect the faucet to the
household water system, are not supplied with this unit . They
need to be purchased separately . Follow the supply line
manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation .
