Before You Begin
IMPORTANT! Refer to the ″Roughing-In″ section for cabinet
dimensional requirements.
IMPORTANT! This sink must be installed prior to the installation
of the countertop. Cut-line is based from the front face of the
cabinet.
IMPORTANT! Long screws may damage adjacent cabinets. Ensure
the screws are long enough to secure the support framing, but short
enough not to extend through the walls of adjacent cabinets.
Due to the nature of under-mount installations, Kohler Co.
recommends that under-mount sink installations be performed by
trained and experienced installers.
Use proper fasteners and techniques to ensure the frame will
support a minimum of 300 lbs (136 kg). Locate the fasteners for
easy access in the event the sink needs to be removed.
For K-5417 Only: This sink is intended for installation into a 30″
apron sink base cabinet.
For K-5415 and K-5416 Only: This sink is intended for
installation into a 36″ apron sink base cabinet.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.

1. Preparation
IMPORTANT! Before installing this sink, verify that the distance
from the top of the cabinet to the top of the doors is greater than
8-13/16″ (224 mm).
TIP: Apply painter’s tape to the cabinet to mark cuts and protect
cabinet surfaces when cutting.
Measure and mark the hole locations.
Drill 1″ holes at each marked location.
Mark vertical lines from the hole to the top of the cabinet as
shown.
Cut along the marked lines to form two slots.
Notch the cabinet to accommodate the thickness of the sink rim.
The top of the sink should be flush with the top of the cabinet
when installed.

Framing
2. Install Wood Supports
NOTICE: For proper countertop installation, the top of the sink
must not extend above the top of the cabinet.
Cut two lengths of support framing to extend horizontally along
the inside walls on each side of the cabinet.
Measure and mark the support mounting locations; ensure the
sink rim will sit at or slightly below the top of the cabinet.
Position and level the supports.
TIP: Use clamps to hold the supports in position.
Secure the supports with construction adhesive and screws (not
provided).
Cut four lengths of support framing to extend from the bottom of
the installed supports to the floor of the cabinet.
Secure the vertical supports with construction adhesive and
screws (not provided).

3. Install the Sink
Lower the sink into the cabinet. Verify the sink is supported by
the frame.
Verify the sink is level, make any adjustments and shim as
needed.
Remove the sink.
Apply a bead of silicone sealant to the top of each support.
Lower the sink onto the supports and push in to ensure the apron
is flush to the front of the cabinet.

Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the sides and back of the
sink.
Install the countertop.

• Vis
IMPORTANT! Cet évier doit être installé avant d’installer le
comptoir. La ligne de découpe est basée à partir de la face avant du
meuble.
IMPORTANT! Les vis longues peuvent endommager les meubles
adjacents. S’assurer que les vis sont suffisamment longues pour fixer
le cadrage de support, mais suffisamment courtes pour ne pas
traverser les parois des meubles adjacent.
Vu la nature particulière des installations à encaster par le
dessous, Kohler Co. recommande que les installations à encastrer
par le dessous soient effectuées par des installateurs formés et
expérimentés.
Utiliser la visserie et les techniques qui conviennent pour
s’assurer que le cadre puisse soutenir un minimum de 300 lb (136
kg). Placer la visserie à des endroits accessibles au cas où l’évier
doit être déposé.
Pour les modèles K-5417 seulement: Cet évier est conçu pour
une installation dans un meuble bas pour évier à tablier de 30″.
