Wentworth Undermount Stainless Steel Sinks

Important Information

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Sink edges are sharp and can cause serious injuries. Use gloves and handle sink edges with caution.

NOTE:

Due to the nature of undermount installation, Wentworth recommends that your

undermount sinks be installed by professional installers.

The templates are only a guide. Wentworth strongly recommends the physical

presence of the sink when countertop is cut.

For replacement installations, make sure the existing cutout is the same size or

smaller than the cutout for the new sink.

The number of mounting clips included with your sinks may vary. Use all the

clips provided with the sink.

Allow the silicone caulk to cure following the manufacturer's instructions. All

information in this manual is based on the latest product information available at the time of publication. Wentworth Company reserves the right to make revisions in the design of products without notice.

1. Wentworth undermount sinks can be installed in three different ways in terms of the amount of reveal of the sink flange from the countertop cutout opening (see Undermount Reveal Options at Page 24).

All templates for Craftsmen Series undermount stainless steel sinks are 2-in-1 for

both 1/ 4 positive reveal and flush mount installations. If you want the sink installed differently from what the template offers, make sure to tell your fabricator your preference.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

2. Verify cabinet clearance. Use Wentworth recommended cabinet size. Position

template at desired location on the countertop allowing necessary space for sink to fit into cabinet, and enough room on the countertop for clips, faucet, and soap dispenser, etc.

3. Choose the right fastener (not provided) for the countertop material. On the underside of the countertop, about 3/ 4'' or closer depending on the space available from the edge of sink flange, mark spots for clip locations, at flange corners and every 6'' to 7'' apart around the sink flange. Secure the clips at the marked locations loosely.

4. Clean sink flange and the countertop surface where sink flange will be mounted

with a solvent such as denatured alcohol. Dry thoroughly and apply a thin bead of clear silicone caulk around the top deck of sink flange.

5. Position and align sink over the countertop opening and press sink against

countertop.

6. Adjust the position of sink if necessary. Make sure it is aligned to the cutout

opening. Completely tighten all fasteners. Remove excess silicone caulk around the inside and outside edges of sink flange. After silicone cures, wipe inside edge with denatured alcohol. This will smooth out any rough areas.
