UNDERMOUNT INSTALLATION
NOTE: Undermount sinks are mounted from below the counter. If you are installing a topmount or "drop-in"
sink, please see "Topmount Installation". It is highly recommended that undermounting be performed by a
professional installer. Improper installation will void the warranty. Sink template (1A) shows cut-lines for both
undermount and topmount installations. Review it carefully and follow the undermount cut-lines only to install the
sink under your counter.
PREPARING THE AREA
- Place the template (1A) on the desired
counter space surface . Keep in mind that
the typical setback is 3 1/2 - 4 in. (89 mm
- 102 mm) from the front of the counter to
the sink bowl (depending on the cabinet
structure, the counter overhang, the type of
sink bowl, and the deck size).
- Make sure the template (1A) is parallel to the
front of the counter .

UNDERMOUNT
CUTTING THE COUNTER
- Ensure that the template (1A) is placed
so that the sink will clear all objects and
the mounting hardware can be installed .
Secure the template to the counter top using
masking tape .
- Place a support underneath the cut-out
portion of the counter to prevent it from falling
during cutting . Use an appropriate saw to cut
along the undermount cutline .
- Drill a 1-3/8 in. (35 mm) mounting hole for
your faucet .
- Drill a 1-1/4 in. (32 mm) mounting hole for
your soap dispenser .
