CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. The
wood support and frame for the sink must sufficiently support
300 lbs (136 kg). This is the approximate weight of the sink when
full and with a garbage disposal installed.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. The
sink is heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.
Measure the cabinet opening where the sink will be installed.
Plan for adequate clearance between the faucet handles and the
countertop backsplash or finished wall.
Construct a wood frame for the inside of the cabinet. Allow
adequate clearance for the faucet assemblies and sink basin.
Ensure that the frame will support the entire sink rim.
NOTE: Use proper fasteners and techniques to ensure that the frame
will support a minimum of 300 lbs (136 kg). Locate the fasteners for
easy access in the event the sink needs to be removed.
Secure the wood frame inside the cabinet with fasteners. The top
of the sink rim must be flush with the top surface of the
countertop underlayment or backing material.
Apply a 1" (2.5 cm) bead of silicone sealant at each corner of the
wood frame where it will contact the sink.
Insert the sink into the cabinet opening.
Verify the entire sink rim rests on the wood frame.
