3.Cut out the appropriate template for your sink model and desired installation option. Place template in desired position on countertop, locating center of the bowl over cabinet and faucet holes.
4.Trace the outline of the template and cut countertop along the inside of the line using appropriate cutting tools. Template is for guide only. Use physical sink to ensure accurate cutout opening.
5.Locate the drill holes on the underside of the countertop,
approximately 1" from edge of the sink to be installed. Holes should be evenly spaced approximately 6" to 8" apart starting from every corner as shown in Figure 3. It is recommended to install a faucet at this point before installing the sink.

6.Loosely attach mounting brackets to the countertop, parallel to the cutout opening using the supplied mounting screws and nuts. Mounting screws with brass inserts are supplied with the sink, however, countertop material vary and the correct type of fasteners should be recommended by your installer or supplier.
7.Clean sink flange and underside of cutout area of countertop, making sure that the area is smooth and free of grease. MUST use 100% silicone for this installation. Apply continuous bead of silicone caulk evenly on top of sink flange. (FIGURE 4) NEVER perform this procedure outdoor and under sunlight.
If performed under an extremely hot and dry climate, the caulking of the sink frame should be performed by two people at the same time.
8.Position and align sink over the countertop opening and press sink onto countertop. Turn bent end of mounting bracket to snug over the sink rim.
9.Check alignment of sink again and tighten fasteners to secure sink. (FIGURE 5)
