CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Tile backer
board placed over plywood is the recommended under-
layment for installing this sink. Tile should be bonded to
the backer board with dry set or Latex Portland mortar.
Consult the tile contractor to determine the types of material
to be used.
Acceptable underlayments include the following:
Tile backer board over 3/4” exterior grade plywood
3/4” exterior grade plywood
Do not use the following materials:
Flakeboard
Interior grade plywood
Gypsum wallboard
1. See Fig. #6. The rim thickness on the sink is 5/8” plus or
minus 1/32”. The sink is designed for installation flush
with or slightly lower than the surrounding tile. Install
support/frame accordingly, or make allowance to shim
the sink as required by varying thickness of the tile, sink
height, and choice of adhesive or mortar bed installa-
tion.
