All Installations
NOTE : Ensure that the securing hardware and screws will not penetrate through the cabinet walls.
Secure the support frame to the cabinet. For undercounter installation, the top of the sink should be 1/8 inch to
1/16 inch below the top of the cabinet.
If preferred, to hide raw edges from certain countertops, the sink may be set to rise slightly above the top of the
countertop when installed. This will create a lip around the edge of the sink that should be sealed with sealant
to create a waterproof seal around the outside edge of the sink.
Position the securing hardware to allow for easy removal should the sink need to be removed or replaced.
The top of the sink
should be set 1/8 inch
to 1/16 inch below the
top of the cabinet for
undercounter
installations.
4. Undercounter/Solid Surface Preparation
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Large sinks are very heavy. Get help
lifting the sink into place.
NOTE: Instructions in this section are for both undercounter and solid surface installation. Any differences are noted
in the text.
NOTE: Use shims to level the sink if needed.
Verify that the sink will fit in the cabinet opening. If necessary, adjust the opening by sanding the opening or
adding wood filler strips.
For solid surface installation, install the faucet to the sink according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Install the strainer or garbage disposal to the sink according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Apply a 1" (2.5 cm) spot of sealant at each corner of the frame where it will contact the sink.
NOTE: If using shims additional sealant will be needed.
Carefully position the sink within the frame, making sure to center the sink in the cabinet.
Optional: Apply sealant between the cabinet and the apron.
Verify that the sink is level. The top of the sink should be 1/8 to 1/16 inches below the top of the cabinet
to allow proper countertop installation. Adjust or shim between the sink and support if needed. The
countertop should NOT sit directly on top of the sink.
Fireclay is a natural material and slight variations in exact dimensions are possible; as a result the exact
sink being installed should always be used to determine the cutouts and a template is not provided.
Carefully measure the countertop to determine the exact location of the cutout.
Carefully mark the cutout location on the countertop.
