TILE-IN SINK INSTALLATION
1.
Measure sink apron and cabinet opening to make sure sink
apron will fit into cabinet opening. If necessary, sand opening or
add wood filler strips.
2. Assemble faucet according to manufacturers instructions.
3. Place a 1” (2.5cm) spot of sealant at each corner of the frame
where it will contact sink.
4. Gently position sink within the frame, locating sink in center of sink
cabinet.
Apply additional sealant if using shims.
5. Assemble strainer or garbage disposal to sink according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
6. To allow for vibration from garbage disposals, use sealant in
space between the sink and the tile directly adjacent with the sink.
This will prevent the grout from cracking around the sink.
7. Placing sealant between apron and cabinet is optional.

SUPPORT FRAME INSTALLATION
1.
Position frame. Before securing frame, see preceding support
caution. Also, position frame installation hardware to allow for
easy access in case the sink needs to be removed or replaced.
Ensure that frame installation hardware will not penetrate outside
of cabinet.
2. Install support frame so that the top of sink rim (when placed
within the frame) is level and flush with top surface of cabinet
perimeter support or underlayment at the cut-out area. Secure
frame to cabinet. See Fig. #8.

UNDERCOUNTER SINK INSTALLATION
1.
Measure sink apron and cabinet opening to make sure sink
apron will fit into cabinet opening. If necessary, sand opening or
add wood filler strips.
2. Assemble faucet according to manufacturers instructions.
3. See Fig. #4. Place a thin layer of sealant at each corner of the
support where it will contact the sink.
4. Gently position sink within the frame, locating sink in center of sink
cabinet.
5. See Fig. #8. Make sure the sink rim is level and flush with the
cabinet perimeter. Adjust or shim between sink and support if
needed to obtain proper fit. Top of sink rim must be flush with top
of cabinet perimeter in order to obtain proper contact with the
underside of the countertop.
Apply additional sealant if using shims.
6. Assemble strainer or garbage disposal to sink according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
7. Using sealant between apron and cabinet is optional.
CUT-OUT POSITIONING
1.
See Fig. #9. Due to the various cut-out sizes possible, no
template is supplied. If using the K-5984 cutting board, the
minimum cut-out length is 31” (78.7cm).
2. Carefully measure the countertop to determine the exact location
of the cut-out.
3. See Fig. #8. Measure the distance from finished wall to the center
of sink faucet holes (Dim. “Y”). This dimension will be used to
locate the faucet hole centerline and back edge of the cut-out on
the countertop. Make sure the sink is positioned to provide
adequate clearance between faucet and backsplash, finished
wall, or support frame. This will ensure full faucet operation when
installed.
