countertop. Lightly trace the outside edge of your sink with a pencil. Remove sink and
scribe line with pencil 1” inside outside line. See Fig. A. Cut countertop to this
dimension. Since these sinks are manufactured by hand, we are unable to provide a

• Once countertop hole is cut, set sink inside hole and center. Ensure sink flange sits flat
on top countertop.

• Before setting sink in countertop, prepare and attach drain to sink. Use silicone sealer
under drain flange. After tightening tailpiece remove excess sealer.

• Run a ¼” bead of silicon sealant inside of pencil line. Carefully set sink into countertop
hole and sealant. Once positioned, carefully remove excess sealant from the outside rim
of sink with a soft cotton rag while holding downward pressure on sink.

• Sink must set a minimum of 12 hours for sealer to dry before putting any movement or
pressure on sink.

Under Mount Installation for Flat Edged Sink:

• Measure inside diameter of sink. Subtract one inch from this dimension to achieve
countertop opening.

• Center sink on opening under countertop and trace pencil line around sink. Remove sink
and apply a bead of silicone adhesive or other suitable adhesive to the flat mating edge of
sink.

• Position sink under the countertop using your pencil mark as a guide and press upward
seating sink against the counter. Place some type of support under sink until adhesive
cures. Check for any excess sealer on inside of sink and remove immediately with a soft
cloth.

Care and Maintenance:

Caring for our copper bowls is surprisingly easy. Rinsing your sink with clean water and drying
with a soft cloth after each use will help keep your sink looking new. For cleaning use a liquid
dish soap and water with a non-abrasive sponge. Never use abrasive cleaners. Most copper sinks
are considered a “live” finish, meaning the patina (finish) will
the Dark Smoke finish, this patina will continue to darken over time as you use your sink giving
an “Old World” look. Do not use copper cleaners, abrasive materials or harsh chemicals on
this sink as this will remove the patina. If a chemical lightens the finish, don’t worry, time will
return the darker patina. For maintaining the Shiny Copper finish, copper cleaners or lemon juice
will restore it to its original luster. For added protection, paste waxes such as Flitz Furniture and
Faucet Wax or any quality automotive wax will help maintain the beauty of your sink as well as
help keep it clean.
