Before You Begin
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Cast
iron sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.
IMPORTANT! Failure to follow these precautions may result in
poor installation.
Read these instructions carefully before you begin this
installation.
Observe all local, electrical, plumbing, and building codes.
Prior to installation, unpack the new sink and inspect it for
damage. Record the model number and serial number in the
Homeowners Guide. Return the sink to its protective carton until
you are ready to install it.
This sink is not intended for undercounter installation.
Inspect the drain and supply tubing. Replace if necessary.
If possible, assemble the faucet and strainer to the sink before
installing the sink.
Due to the variety of installations possible with this sink, you
may need to use procedures other than those described. Because
of the variety of tiles available, you must take careful
measurements prior to installation.
It is very important that the proper materials are used with your
sink. Proper selection of tile is critical for a secure installation.
3/8" (1 cm) tile is recommended. Because of the variance in tile
thickness, your carpenter, tiler, and plumber must be aware of the
exact type of tile you choose.
After selecting the tile, provide a sample to each contractor
involved in the project. It is very important that the carpenter,
tiler, and plumber maintain communication and discuss the
requirements of the project.
To ensure a safe and damage-free installation, two people should
install the sink.
To reduce the chance of water backflow into the cooking vessel,
do not install a garbage disposal to the cooking vessel.
