Setup and Installation
This vessel sink is designed for above-counter installation. Ensure you have all components and necessary tools before starting. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with plumbing work.
Required Tools (Not Included)
- Adjustable wrench
- Plumber's putty or silicone sealant
- Drill (if cutting new holes for faucet/drain)
- Safety glasses
- Measuring tape
Installation Steps
- Prepare the Countertop: Ensure your countertop has a properly sized hole for the drain (typically 1.75 inches to 2 inches in diameter) and a separate hole for the faucet if it's deck-mounted. Clean the area thoroughly.
- Install the Drain: Apply a bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the underside of the drain flange. Insert the drain into the sink's drain hole. From underneath the sink, attach the rubber washer, friction washer, and tighten the lock nut. Ensure a watertight seal.
- Position the Sink: Carefully place the vessel sink over the drain hole on the countertop. Ensure it is centered and stable. Apply a thin bead of silicone sealant around the base of the sink where it meets the countertop to secure it and prevent water from seeping underneath.
- Install the Faucet: Insert the faucet's supply lines and mounting shank through the faucet hole on the countertop. From underneath, secure the faucet with the provided mounting hardware (washer and nut). Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to your home's water supply valves.
- Test for Leaks: Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the water supply and check for any leaks around the drain, faucet base, and water line connections. Tighten any connections as needed.

Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your SOLIDEE vessel sink.
Cleaning the Sink
- Clean the tempered glass sink regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and mild, non-abrasive soap and water.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the glass or damage the finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Cleaning the Faucet and Drain
- Wipe the black finish faucet and pop-up drain with a soft, damp cloth.
- For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and rinse immediately.
