An equivalent replacement will be issued to the original owner provided the defective sink was installed in accordance with the installation procedures, used and cleaned as recommended, and not damaged due to abuse, misuse, or negligence.
Chips, scratches, and stains are not deemed to be manufacturing defects. RUVATI will not be held liable for chips, scratches, and stains that can occur under normal use over a period of time.

RUVATI shall not be liable for any inconvenience or expense for material or labor related to the removal or replacement of a defective sink or for any loss or damage to any person or property whatsoever resulting from the defective sink. All transportation costs to and from the point of purchase will be the responsibility of the purchaser.

Installation Steps
- Determine the position of the sink on the countertop by placing the sink where you want it to be. Remember to leave clearance behind the sink for faucet installation. Ruvati recommends a clearance of 4-5 inches from the backwall or backsplash.
- Begin by marking the center of the drain hole, then set the vessel sink aside. Using a power drill equipped with a hole saw, carefully cut an opening in the countertop. The size of the opening should be 3-inch or larger. Depending on the material of your countertop, you may require a specialized hole saw. Additionally, it may be necessary to drill a pilot hole before using the hole saw for a cleaner cut.
- Attach the popup drain (not included) securely to the vessel sink. Follow the instructions provided with your popup drain.
- Check the alignment of your sink by placing it on the hole.
- Clean the countertop and remove any debris or dust. Wipe it clean with alcohol or water, and then wipe dry.
- Apply a bead of clear silicone adhesive around the bottom rim of the sink as shown. [Image: Diagram showing silicone adhesive applied to the bottom rim of the sink.]
- Carefully place the sink on the countertop. Align. Press firmly.
- Allow adhesive to set for 30-60 minutes.
- Connect plumbing to the drain. Install and connect faucet. Run water through the sink and check for any leaks.
