6. Custom Cabinet Installation - Tile-in Sink Installation
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Cast iron floor sink are very heavy. Get
assistance lifting the floor sink into place.
Measure and compare the thickness of the floor sink rim and tile. The floor sink rim thickness is
7/16" ( 1.1 cm) +/- 1/32" (1 mm).
NOTE: Due to the varying thickness of the tile and floor sink or the use of adhesive or mortar bed
installation, it may be necessary to shim the floor sink or route or cut the underlayment. The floor sink
was designed to be installed flush with or slightly lower than the surrounding tile.
With assistance, carefully lift and position the floor sink in the countertop opening. Check
alignment.
Install the tile and grout.
Apply silicone sealant between the floor sink and the tile near the floor sink rim. Applying silicone
sealant will prevent the grout from cracking around the floor sink.
Verify the floor sink has not moved.
Allow the silicone sealant to cure for at least 30 minutes before proceeding.
Permanently secure the countertop to the cabinet frame as desired.
Install the floor sink strainers.
Connect the floor sink strainers to the drain assembly.
