3. Installation Steps:
Note: Drop-in Topmount Installation Recommended
-
Measure the hole for the sink: Turn the sink upside down and trace the outline directly on the countertop with a pencil. Then make a second outline about 5/16 inch smaller than the original for the hole.
-
Countertop Cut-Out: Drill a starter hole inside the cutout line. Use the saber saw and cut the opening in the countertop following the inside pencil line. Trial fit the sink to check for proper fit.
-
Supporting the Sink: Mount the undermount installation customized support to the inner side walls of your cabinet. We then recommend putting plywood on the rods to create a large, smooth, flat surface. Drill the necessary drain holes.
-
Apply Sealant: Apply silicone caulk (not included) evenly all around the top of the sink flanges. Position and align the sink under the countertop opening. Press the silicone and flange up onto the countertop.
