• Locate the drop-in template in the sink box.
• Cut along the appropriate line for your sink and installation. NOTE: Keep the inside of the template.
• Place the template on the countertop and fix it in place using the painter’s tape.
• Trace the template with a pencil or marker to draw the mark where the sink will set. Remove the template.
• Make certain there is adequate clearance for the faucet and backsplash.
NOTE: the center faucet hole is
predrilled on the sink and will be in a fixed position once installed.
• Add painter’s tape around the outside edge of the marked line for protection of the countertop before
starting your cut.
• Using the power drill, drill a starting hole for the saw in the area of the countertop to be cut out.
• Carefully cut out the needed section using the appropriate type of saw for your countertops.

• Determine the location of the faucet and add additional faucet holes in the sink if needed. The underside of
the sink has pre-scored holes to mark the locations where these should be drilled if necessary.
• If drilling extra holes, carefully place the
sink upside down on a suitable and stable
surface. Use a 1 3/8 inch diamond hole saw
to drill in the pre-scored area(s) where extra
holes are needed.
• Depending on your selected faucets, you may prefer to install the faucets and strainers now, before
placing the sink into the countertop. You may do so now following the instructions provided by the faucet
manufacturer.
• Clean and dry the surface around the opening of sink.
• Test to make sure that the sink fits in the opening.
• Carefully, turn the sink upside down and install the mounting brackets provided for a drop-in installation.
Set the bracket so that the back wall of the bracket is towards the outside edge of the sink and the toes of
the bracket feet are faced towards the center of the sink. Tighten only the two small screws at this time.

sink
“toes” of the bracket
should face towards
the sink bowl
Claw grip of the bracket should swing to the center,
or parallel to the sink edge, when dropping the sink
into position. Then swing away from the bowl’s center,
towards the outside, to grip the underside of the counter,
during the final steps of installation.
