Any machining operation will produce fi ne particles of dust.
Drilling or cutting must be carried out in a well-ventilated
area.
2. Position clips over pins moulded in sink. The clips are pulled
& twisted towards the edge of the sink as shown in fi g. 2.
If a clip is tight tap on with fl at head screwdriver as shown in
fi g. 2A and hinge
them back away
from sink edge.
3. A t t h i s p o i n t
try the sink in
t h e c u t - o u t ,
some localised
enlargement of the hole may be necessary around the
clips.
4. Fit the tap to the sink.
5. Fit the wastes to the sink following the instructions packed
with them.
6. Fit the foam seal to the edge of the sink. Peel off the paper
backing strip and stick the seal to the recess in the sink as
shown in fi g. 3. Ensure that a neat butt joint is achieved
where the ends of the seal meet.
FITTING THE SINK
1. Position the sink in the cut out.
2. Tension the fi xing clips as shown
in fi g. 4. Ensure that the foam
seal is carefully compressed but
do not overtighten the clips.

This sink has been coated with
a thin layer of protective fi lm.
It is essential that the sink be
cleaned with cream cleaner (i.e. Cif Cleaner) before use.
INSTALLATION DETAILS FOR SNAP ON FIXING SYSTEM
VELSTRA & NEOSTONE SINKS
NOTE: During installation care should be taken to ensure
the sink is protected from scuffs and scratches. Straining and
overtightening of all plumbing fi xtures connected to the sink
should be avoided. Installers should carefully check that the
moulding and the edges of the sink are dead level so that
water will fl ow off the drainer.
PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL SINK.
PREPARING THE WORKTOP
1. It is recommended that the inset sink is fi tted to the worktop
before being permanently fi xed to the cabinet.
2. Place the sink upside down on worktop. Position the sink
relative to the worktop as required, ensuring that the cabinet
framework will be clear of all parts of the sink.
With a sharp soft pencil draw round sink as accurately as
possible. See fi g. 1.
3. Remove the sink and draw another line 10mm inside
the out-line of the sink top. This is the cutting line for the
aperture.
4. Drill as large a hole as possible inside the cutting line. Using
a pad saw, jigsaw or similar, cut out the aperture. At this
point we would recommend that the worktop aperture is
sealed. To do this paint over with a p.v.a. adhesive, paint,
varnish or smear with silicone sealant.
PREPARING THE SINK
1. If a taphole is required, but has not been supplied in the
sink, proceed as follows:
Decide whether the bowl is to be left or right hand when
sink is fi tted. Cut the appropriate taphole into the sink
using a 35mm hole
saw (supplied with
selected product).
On the reverse side
of the sink there
is a location hole
this is to be used
for positioning the
hole saw as shown
in fi g. 1A.
Before drilling please read safety instructions supplied
with hole saw
.
Front face must be fully supported to prevent cracking
carefully drill out taphole.
Warning:
Velstra & Neostone products include a silica fi ller.
