Before You Begin

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Large
sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Prior to installation, unpack the new sink and inspect it for

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

This sink is not intended for undercounter installation.
Inspect the drain and supply tubing. Replace if necessary.
If possible, assemble the faucet and strainer to the sink before

installing the sink.
For a replacement installation, make sure the existing cut-out is

the same size or smaller than the cut-out for the new sink.

1. Preparation

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Large
sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.

Install the water supplies and drain piping according to the
roughing-in information.

Carefully place the sink upside down on the countertop in the
desired position. Be careful not to damage the sink finish. Make
sure the sink will not interfere with the cabinet.

Trace the sink outline onto the countertop with a pencil. Do not

cut along this line.

Draw a line 1/4″ (6mm) inside the sink outline.

For Models: K-3222, K-3231, K-3232, K-3224, K-3228,
and K-3300

Draw a 1-1/2″ (3.8cm) radius in each corner.

Preparation (cont.)

For All Installations

Before cutting, measure the cut-out line you just drew and
compare it to the overall sink dimensions. The cut-out should be
1/2″ (1.3cm) smaller than the overall sink dimensions.

2. Install the Sink

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Large
sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.

Carefully cut along the inside line to cut out the opening in the
countertop.

Carefully place the sink upside down and attach the mounting
clip onto the “J” channel.

Hand tighten the screw until the mounting clip fully engages the
″J″ channel.

Space the rest of the fasteners equally around the sink. Rotate the
clamps so they are parallel to the sink edge and tighten the nuts.

Install the faucet and strainer according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

Apply a bead of quality sealant to the underside of the sink rim.
Set the sink into the cut-out and position squarely.
Starting with the fasteners located in the middle of each side,

loosen the nuts and rotate the clamps over the countertop.
Tighten the hex nuts from under the sink until a watertight seal is

obtained. Do not tighten using the screw.
Rotate the remaining clamps and tighten the hex nuts until the

entire rim is sealed. Do not overtighten. It is only necessary to
draw the rim down firmly to the countertop.

Hex Nut

NOTE: The fasteners may need to be repositioned to compensate for
an uneven countertop.

Install the Sink (cont.)

Wipe away any excess sealant from the countertop with a dry

instructions.
Connect and tighten the trap to the strainer, and complete the

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

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