■ The sink installation must comply with the national and local

plumbing codes and ordinances.

■ As with all metal objects, follow proper handling techniques to

avoid product damage.

■ This sink should be examined for damage prior to installation.

Do not install a damaged sink. Return the sink to the dealer from whom you purchased it. Failure to do so will void the warranty.

Plumbing Requirements

Sink should be plumbed to local plumbing codes. All plumbing connections should be made by licensed, qualified

plumbers.

Countertop Requirements

The thickness of the countertop must not be more than 1¹⁄₂" thick at the sink rim.

Solid surface countertop installations must be performed by a qualified fabricator/installer with appropriate tools.

Location Requirements

Style 2 - Undermount Sinks

■ The sink installation must comply with the national and local

plumbing codes and ordinances.

■ As with all metal objects, follow proper handling techniques to

avoid product damage.

■ This sink should be examined for damage prior to enclosure/

installation. Do not install a damaged sink. Return the sink to the dealer from whom you purchased it. Failure to do so will void the warranty.

■ Installation of this undermount sink is based on “sandwiching”

the rim of the sink between the sink clamps and countertop.

■ Aesthetics are essential to presentation of the installed sink.

Ensure that the exposed silicone joint is kept to a minimum, the sink is properly aligned to the cutout, and the excess silicone is cleaned from the sink.

Check Sink Fit/Adjust:
