Art Glass Vessels
Wells Sinkware art glass vessels have 8 size-shape combinations (styles) (See

are intended for both above-counter and partial recess installations, while all
the others should be only installed above the counter.
For above-counter installation
Step 1: In the countertop*, drill a hole 1 3 /4 diameter where

the vessel bowl will be centered.
Step 2: Place mounting ring under the vessel as shown below if the vessel has a
rounded bottom (Style A, C, D and G: Group 1), or directly put the vessel on top of the
hole drilled in the countertop if the vessel has a flat bottom (Style B, E, H and I: Group

For partial recess installation
Step 1: Cut a hole of certain diameter with a beveled edge with certain angle (this has
to be determined by your professional countertop fabricator) that allows your vessel
recessed into the hole to certain depth of your preference.
Step 2: Apply a bead of silicone caulk along the edge of the hole and press the vessel
against the edge and adjust it to the right position. Remove excess silicone caulk after
it cures from both above and under.
Step 3: Use a generous portion of plumbers' putty under the drain cup of the lavatory
drain supplied with the vessel and insert the whole body of the drain inside the bowl.
Step 4: From under the drain, insert the thick rubber washer
and tighten it by hand**.
Note:
* The countertop shouldn't be thicker than 1 3/ 4 due to the length of the drain
supplied with the vessel.
** Hand tight only. Over-tightening may break the vessel.
Remove excess plumbers' putty.
