UNDERMOUNT INSTALLATION
PREPARING THE AREA
CUTTING THE COUNTER
NOTE:
Undermount sinks are mounted from below the counter. If you
are installing a topmount or “drop-in” sink, please see “topmount
installation” on page 9.
It is highly recommended that undermounting be performed by a
professional installer. Improper installation will void the warranty.
- Remove the undermount sink template (1A/1B) from the
box .
NOTE:
If you would like your faucet and accessory (if applicable) to be
installed on your sink, use template 1A.
If you would like your faucet and accessory (if applicable) to be
installed directly on your countertop, use template 1B.
- Place the template (1A/1B) on the desired counter space
surface . Keep in mind that the typical setback is
8 .9 cm - 10 .2 cm from the front of the counter (depending
on the cabinet structure, the counter overhang, the type of
sink bowl, and the deck size).
- Make sure the template (1A/1B) is parallel to the front of
the counter .
CAUTION:
Always wear safety goggles and gloves when
using power tools to prevent personal injury .
- Ensure that the template (1A/1B) is placed so that the
sink will clear all objects and the mounting hardware can
be installed . Make sure there is a minimum of 7 .6 cm of
space underneath on all four sides for the undermount
clips (H) .
- Place a line of tape around the template .
- Use a saber-saw or jig-saw to cut along the cut line . Place
a support underneath the cut-out portion of the counter to
prevent it from falling during cutting .
