Installation
1. Measure sink apron and cabinet
opening to make sure sink apron will
ft into cabinet opening. If necessary,
sand opening or add wood fller
strips.
2. Prepare the cabinet and create a
support frame inside the cabinet
that the sink will sit on. Use 2x4 solid
wood studs to create the support
frame. Your cabinet and support
frame should be strong enough to
hold up to 200 lbs of weight once
installed. The support frame should
be positioned so that the top of the
sink rim is level and flush with the
top surface of the cabinet perimeter.
Make sure the support frame leaves
room for the drains, faucet water
lines, garbage disposal (if any).
3. Place a thin layer of sealant on the
supporting frame where it will
contact the sink
4. Gently position the sink on the
frame. Verify that the sink sits level
and sturdy on the frame, and the top
surface of the sink is level and flush
with the top surface of the cabinet
perimeter. Adjust or shim between
the sink and support if necessary.
5. Due to the various cutout sizes
possible (based on your preference)
a cutout template is not provided.
Use the actual sink measurement to
determine the actual location of the
cutout. Ensure adequate clearance
behind the sink for any faucet and
backsplash.
6. Trace cut-out opening on the
countertop. Cut out the opening
in the counter top. Use an Orbital
sander or sanding block to smooth
the edge of the cut-out area and
remove all saw marks. For laminate
type countertop, all exposed
unlaminated surfaces near the cut-
out opening must be adequately
fnished and sealed to prevent water
damage.
7. Clean the rim of the sink and the
under surface of the countertop
where it will contact the rim. Apply a
generous bead of sealant around the
sink rim.
8. Gently position the countertop on
the sink. Ensure that the sealant
provides a complete seal between
the countertop and the sink. Wipe off
any extra sealant using a wet cloth,
and apply extra sealant if there are
any gaps
