Installation Steps (General Guidelines)

- Secure Sink: Attach the provided mounting clips to the sink rim and countertop according to the manufacturer's instructions. Tighten the clips evenly to secure the sink in place, but do not overtighten.
- Connect Plumbing: Install the drain assembly (sold separately) into the sink's drain opening. Connect the P-trap and overflow plumbing. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Install Faucet: Install your chosen faucet (sold separately) onto the countertop or wall, following its specific installation instructions. Connect the water supply lines.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check all connections for leaks. Run water into the sink and observe the drain and overflow for any signs of leakage.
