Undercounter Installation (cont.)
The countertop should overhang the sink backsplash by 1/8"
(3mm) to cover any misalignment between the sink and the
cabinet. The countertop should not overlap the front of the sink.
Due to the various cut-out sizes possible, a template is not
supplied.
Carefully measure the countertop to determine the exact location
of the cut-out.
Trace the cut-out opening onto the countertop using a soft lead
pencil.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not cut, drill, or sand
the countertop while positioned over the fixture.
Cut out the opening by carefully following the pencil line.
Sand the edge of the cut-out to smooth the surface and remove
all saw marks. For laminate-type countertops, waterproof all the
unprotected areas of wood.
Clean the top of the sink rim, making sure the surface is free
from debris. Clean the bottom of the countertop around the
cut-out area, making sure the surface is smooth and free of
defects.
Apply a generous bead of sealant around the sink rim where the
sink rim will contact the countertop.
Position the countertop over the sink, making sure the sealant
provides a complete seal between sink rim and bottom of the
countertop.
Immediately wipe away any excess sealant with a damp cloth.
Fill any voids between the rim and countertop if needed.
Allow the sealant to cure for 30 minutes before proceeding.
Connect and tighten the trap to the strainer, and complete the
water supply connections to the faucet according to the
instructions packed with the faucet.
Run water into the sink and check for leaks.
Clean up with a non-abrasive cleaner.
