Installation (continued)
INSTALLING THE SINK
NOTE: Install the faucet according to "Installing the
Faucet" instructions before completing this step. Install
the strainer according to "Installing the Strainer"
instructions before completing this step.
- Install the topmount clips and bolts into the
clip channels of the sink as shown in figure 6.
Use figure 8 to determine how many clips to
install into each channel .
- Apply silicone sealant (not included) around
the underside of the flange of the sink (A) on
all four sides or all around the top edge of the
cutout in the countertop .
- Carefully lower the sink (A) into the counter,
ensuring that the topmount clips (G) do not
catch on the counter edges . Ensure that the
sink (A) is centered and parallel with the front
of the counter .
- Adjust each topmount clip along the channels
so that they are evenly spaced around
the sink (A).
- Rotate the topmount clips such that they
engage the counter, and tighten the screws
progressively (see figure 8 tightening
sequence) until the sink flange is flush with
the counter . Check the alignment as you
tighten so that the front of the sink (A) is
parallel to the front of the counter . Adjust and
re-tighten if necessary . Do not overtighten .
NOTE: If the flange is not flush with the counter, use a
heavy weight or clamp from above to press the flange
down until the sealant sets.
- When finished, wipe away any excess sealant
and allow it to set before proceeding with the
rest of the installation .
