Undercounter/Solid Surface Installation (cont.)
Sand the edge of the cut-out to smooth the surface and remove
all saw marks. For laminate-type countertops, waterproof all
unprotected areas of wood.
Clean the top of the sink rim, making sure the surface is free
from debris. Clean the bottom of the countertop around the
cut-out area, making sure the surface is smooth and free of
defects.
Apply a generous bead of sealant around the sink rim where the
sink rim will contact the countertop.
Position the countertop over the sink, making sure the sealant
provides a complete seal between the sink rim and the bottom of
the countertop.
Immediately wipe away any excess sealant with a damp cloth.
Fill any voids between the rim and the countertop if needed.
Allow the sealant to cure for at least 30 minutes before
proceeding.
For undercounter installation, install the faucet to the sink and
countertop according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Connect and tighten the trap to the strainer, and complete the
water supply connections to the faucet according to the
instructions packed with the faucet.
Run water into the sink and check for leaks.
Clean up with a non-abrasive cleaner.
