The clamping brackets are suitable for worktops
of between 30–40 mm thickness (Fig. 1.1). If your
worktop is a different size then it may require
packing under the clamps or rebating (Fig. 1.2).
Preparing the Worktop
Marking Out the Opening
We recommend that you fit the sink to the worktop before
permanently fixing the worktop to the cabinet.
1.
Place the sink upside down on the worktop. Position
the sink on the worktop as required. Make sure the
cabinet framework will clear all parts of the sink. Using a
soft, sharp pencil draw around the sink as accurately as
possible
(Fig. 1.3)
. Remove the sink.
2.
Draw another line 10 mm inside the sink top outline –
this is the cutting line for the opening
(Fig. 1.4)
.
3.
Drill as large a hole as possible inside the cutting line.
Using a pad saw, jigsaw or similar, cut out the opening
up to the cutting line.
Sealing the Edges of the Opening.
We recommend that porous edges around the cut-out are
sealed using a waterproof sealant such as varnish, paint or
wood glue . This will prevent swelling of the worktop should
any small leaks occur
(Fig. 1.5)
