handled carelessly.

Prior to installation, unpack the new lavatory and inspect it for

damage. Return the lavatory to its protective carton until you are
ready to install it.

Inspect the existing drain and supply tubing. Replace if necessary.
Do not substitute another sealant if one is supplied with this

lavatory.
Use the template supplied with the lavatory.
For replacement installations, make sure the existing cutout is the

same size or smaller than needed for the new lavatory.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in a poor

installation.
Undercounter lavatories should be installed by experienced

installers.

Install the Lavatory (cont.)

Install the drain to the lavatory according to the drain
manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTE: Do not use adhesives or adhesive sealants.

Apply a continuous bead of quality sealant to the top surface of
the lavatory rim where it will contact the countertop.

IMPORTANT! Risk of personal injury or product damage. Handle
with care. Product can break, chip or cause injury if handled
carelessly. Get help lifting the lavatory.

For marble countertops, install the lavatory to the countertop
with the clamps and screws provided. For other countertop
materials, refer to the countertop manufacturer’s instructions for
recommended fasteners.

IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Overtightening the nuts
may cause irreparable damage to the lavatory.

Position the lavatory squarely under the cutout before tightening
the clamps. Draw the lavatory rim up against the countertop until
it is snug. Do not overtighten.

Immediately wipe away any excess sealant and fill any voids as
needed.

Allow the sealant to set for 30 minutes before proceeding.
Connect and tighten the trap to the drain, and complete the water

supply connections to the faucet according to the instructions
packed with the faucet.

Run water into the lavatory and check for leaks.
Clean up with a non-abrasive cleaner.
