Undermount Stainless Steel Sinks

Vitreous China Lavatories

Important Information

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Stainless Steel 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, Wells recommends that Wells

Sinkware undermount sinks be installed by professional installers.

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

presence of the sink when countertop is cut.

For Komponents Series multiple bowl configurations, a minimum distance of 21/4'' (57 mm) is required between the bowls. Any additional required support should be determined by the countertop supplier.

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. Wells Sinkware Corp. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of products without notice.

1. Wells Sinkware 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).

All templates for Rhythm Series vitreous china undermount lavatory sinks are for 3/ 16'' overhang installation. If you want the sink installed differently from what the template offers, make sure to tell your fabricator your preference.

2. Verify cabinet clearance. Use Wells recommended cabinet size. Position template at desired location on the countertop allowing necessary space for the sink to fit into the 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 the sink flange and countertop surface where the 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.
