INSTALLATION
NOTE: Tile backer board installed over plywood is the
recommended underlayment for installing this sink. Tile should be
bonded to the backer board with dry set or latex Portland mortar.
Acceptable underlayments include:
Tile backer board over 3/4" exterior grade plywood;
3/4" exterior grade plywood.
Do not use:
Flakeboard;
Interior grade plywood;
Gypsum wallboard.
NOTE: Consult with the tile contractor to determine the material to
be used.
Determine the desired location for the sink. Draw the cut line
based upon the measurements provided in the Cut-Out
Information table on Page 2. Provide adequate clearance
between the sink, cabinet, and planned backsplash.
Drill a 1/2" pilot hole on the inside of the cut line.
Carefully cut out the countertop opening with a saber or
keyhole saw.
Measure and compare the thickness of the sink rim and tile.
The sink rim thickness is 3/8" +/– 1/32" (1cm +/– 0,8mm).
Because of the varying thickness of the tile and sink, or if
adhesive or mortar bed installation is used, allowances
must be made to shim the sink or route the underlayment
as required.
NOTE: The sink is designed to be installed flush or slightly lower
than the surrounding tile.
Provide shims, or route the underlayment, as needed.
Install the faucet and strainer(s) according to the
instructions included with those products.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage.
Cast iron sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink into
place.
Carefully position the sink in the countertop opening. Check
the alignment.
Tile and grout to allow an acceptable space between the tile
and sink.
To absorb the vibration from a garbage disposal, apply
sealant between the sink and tile directly adjacent to the
sink rim. This will prevent the grout from cracking around the
sink.
