Use the white template tray affixed to The Galley
flanges as your guide for the front to back cutout. Refer
to pages 1-4 for your overall cut-out dimensions or refer
to the drawing on the template tray. Note: The front to
back cutout dimension must be exactly 18”.
The suggested maximum corner radius is 3/8”.
*Please refer to countertop manufacture’s warranted
minimums*
The finished countertop will not completely cover the
Basin flanges. 1/2” will be exposed on the front and
back flanges and 1/4” exposed on the left and right
flanges.
Creating this reveal allows for the Tools to slide across
the upper tier.
Note: Leave the braces in the Galley.
1. Cover 1/2” of the front and back flanges that are
closest to the basin, and the 1/4” of the side flanges
that are closest to the basin with painters tape for
easy cleaning of excess silicone. Be very precise with
this step.
2. Apply a heavy bead of silicone to the un-taped part
of the flange.
3. Set the countertop and position it properly so there
is a 1/2” reveal on the front and back flanges and 1/4”
reveal on the left and right flanges. Press countertop
down onto the flange. The silicone should fill any gaps.
4. Spray the flanges with soap and water, then wipe
excess silicone off of exposed flange.
5. Wait one hour and remove tape and basin braces.
This will ensure there is a clean flange, free from silicone,
which will enable the Tools to slide freely.
