MOUNTING STEP 5 -
REMOVE THE COUNTERTOP FROM THE CABINET BASE
MOUNTING STEP 4 -
DRILL PILOT HOLES
Measure the thickness of the sub-top base and then add 3/4”
to account for the countertop pilot hole. DO NOT exceed the
calculated measurement or you risk surface penetration. Using
the fastener locations marked in step 3, drill the pilot hole using
the 5/32” drill bit upward through the corner blocks and into
the countertop from below. DO NOT drill through the top of
the countertop.
NOTE: It is important to drill the pilot hole before mounting
the countertop to avoid splitting the wood of the countertop
during the mounting process.

SCREW LOCATIONS
Minimal screws are required as the top will be held
down by self-weight. Use only enough screw to secure
the countertop. Too many screws can keep the top from
moving freely and can result in damage. Most cabinet
manufacturers provide corner blocks or plywood within
the cabinet for attaching the countertop to the cabinet
base; screw locations are usually in the corners. The
number of screws is to be determined by the installer. It
is recommended to apply screws every 12 to 18 inches.
NOTE: If there is not a cabinet corner block to secure
to the countertop, other commonly used installation
methods may be utilized including the use of ½” steel
angle brackets.
