4. See Fig. #9. From back edge of countertop, locate the

dimension from finished wall to center of faucet holes (Dim. “Y”)

and draw the centerline. Add 1-1/2” (3.8cm) to the faucet hole

centerline to locate the back edge of the cut-out. Trace the cut-out

opening on the countertop using a soft lead pencil. Locate the

faucet holes.

5. Cut out the opening in the countertop, carefully following the

pencil line. Use an orbital sander or sanding block to smooth the

edge of the cut-out area and remove all saw marks. For

laminate-type countertops, all exposed unlaminated surfaces

near the cut-out opening must be adequately finished and sealed

to prevent damage from water absorption.

To avoid damage, do not cut, drill, or sand

countertop while positioned over fixture.

6. Drill required faucet hole locations (number of holes drilled will be

determined by the fitting being used) and install faucet to

countertop according to manufacturer’s instructions. (Sink has

three faucet holes.)

7. Clean the top of the sink rim, making sure surface is free from

debris. Clean the bottom of the countertop around the cut-out

area, making sure surface is smooth and free of defects.

8. Apply a generous bead of sealant around the sink rim (where sink

rim and countertop meet).

9. Position the countertop over the sink, being careful the sealant

provides a complete seal between sink rim and bottom of

countertop. Immediately wipe away any excess sealant with a

damp cloth. Fill any voids between rim and countertop with

sealant.

10. Sealing gap between apron and cabinet is optional.

1. Follow steps 1. through 7. as outlined in the undercounter sink

installation section.

CUT-OUT POSITIONING

See Fig. #11. 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).

3. Carefully measure the countertop to determine the exact location

of the cut-out.

4. 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.

5. See Fig. #11. From back edge of countertop, locate the

dimension from finished wall to center of faucet holes (Dim. “Y”)

and draw the centerline. Subtract 1-1/2” (3.8cm) from the faucet

hole centerline to locate the back edge of the cut-out. Trace the

cut-out opening on the countertop using a soft lead pencil. Locate

the faucet holes.

6. Cut out the opening in the countertop, carefully following the

pencil line. Use an orbital sander or sanding block to smooth the

edge of the cut-out area and remove all saw marks. For

laminate-type countertops, all exposed unlaminated surfaces

near the cut-out opening must be adequately finished and sealed

to prevent damage from water absorption.

To avoid damage, do not cut, drill, or sand

countertop while positioned over fixture.
