5. Undercounter/Solid Surface Preparation
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage.
Cast
iron sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.
NOTE:
Instructions in this section are for both undercounter and
solid surface installation. Any differences are noted in the text.
Verify that the sink will fit in the cabinet opening. If necessary,
sand the opening or add wood filler strips.
For solid surface installation, install the faucet to the sink
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Install the strainer or garbage disposal to the sink according to
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Apply a 1” (2.5cm) spot of sealant at each corner of the frame
where it will contact the sink.
NOTE:
If using shims additional sealant will be needed.
Carefully position the sink within the frame, making sure to
center the sink in the cabinet.
Optional:
Apply sealant between the cabinet and the apron.
Verify that the sink is level. The top of the sink should be flush
with the top of the cabinet to allow proper countertop
installation. Adjust or shim between the sink and support if
needed.
