Installation instructions
Contempo series Zero Radius Sink
General Recommendations:
Please read installation and maintenance instructions thoroughly.
Inspect your sink for any noticeable damage before installation.
Check all local applicable plumbing and building codes.
These instructions are based on application to composite material or solid surface countertop installation only;
countertop application to stone, marble, granite or butcher-block should be referred to an experienced
countertop fabricator for custom installation.
Contempo series Zero Radius Sinks are individually hand-crafted and HOUZER suggests using
experienced and professional installers only. For custom cutting of countertop and installation
of the actual sink, on-site installation is also recommended. Acceptable variances are approximately 1/8 of
an inch. Alignment to the cut-out and precise application and trimming of any adhesive sealant are critical to
a superior fit and finished look. Please take extra care in this regard.
HOUZER does not accept any liability for damage to countertop, sink fixture, faucets or personal injury
during installation. Warranty is void if installation instructions are not followed.
Tools and Materials needed:
Tape Measure Framing Square Eye Protection
Hacksaw/Jigsaw Ear Protection Silicone Adhesive Sealant
Rags Shims Wood Braces
Pencil (NOT ink) Denatured Alcohol
Be sure to use proper tools and always wear personal safety devices for your protection.
