The type of fastener is dependent upon the countertop material
and should be recommended by a countertop supplier.
Turn the clamps parallel to the opening to allow for easy
installation of the sink.
Clean all residue from the top of the sink rim. Clean the
underside of the countertop around the cut-out area, making sure
the surface is smooth and free of defects.
Apply a generous bead of silicone or latex sealant to the rim of
the sink, near the inside edge.
Position and align the sink with the opening in the countertop.
Rotate the mounting brackets over the sink rim and tighten until
snug.
Check the alignment of the sink with the cut-out and tighten the
fasteners.
Optional:
Apply a bead of high-quality sealant between the
countertop and the top of the sink rim.
Immediately wipe away any excess sealant, and fill any voids as
needed.
Allow the sealant to cure for at least 30 minutes before
proceeding.
Install the garbage disposal, if desired. Follow 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.
