Installation Instructions
Before You Begin
- Ensure you have all necessary tools: sealant, wrench, measuring tape, drill, and safety glasses.
- Verify that your countertop is clean, level, and has a pre-drilled drain opening of 1.75 inches.
- Unpack all components and inspect for any damage. Do not proceed with installation if any parts are damaged.
Step-by-Step Installation
- Position the Sink: Carefully place the vessel sink on your countertop in the desired location, ensuring it is centered over the drain opening.
- Apply Sealant: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the bottom edge of the sink where it meets the countertop. This will secure the sink and prevent water leakage.
- Install the Drain Assembly:
- Disassemble the pop-up drain.
- Place the top flange of the drain into the sink's drain hole, ensuring a gasket is properly seated.
- From underneath the countertop, attach the remaining drain components, including gaskets and nuts, to secure the drain. Tighten by hand, then use a wrench for a final snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.
- Connect Plumbing: Connect your P-trap and water supply lines to the faucet (not included) and drain assembly according to local plumbing codes.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and fill the sink. Check all connections for any signs of leakage. Address any leaks immediately.

Operation
The ELIMAX'S 7459MB vessel sink operates like any standard bathroom sink. Use the pop-up drain mechanism to open and close the drain for filling or emptying the sink. Ensure the faucet (not included) is compatible with vessel sinks and provides adequate clearance and reach.
Due to the vessel design, it is recommended to adjust water flow from the faucet to prevent excessive splashing, especially during initial use.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your ELIMAX'S vessel sink.
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the sink surface with a soft, dry cloth after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry immediately.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemical detergents, as these can damage the matte finish and ceramic surface.
- Drain Maintenance: Periodically remove and clean the pop-up drain to prevent clogs and maintain proper drainage.
Troubleshooting Guide
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water Leakage around Drain | Improperly sealed drain or loose connections. | Tighten drain nuts. Reapply plumber's putty or silicone sealant if necessary. |
| Slow Drainage | Clogged drain or P-trap. | Remove and clean the pop-up drain. Clear any debris from the P-trap. |
