NOTE
: Do not use tile for this type of installation.
1. Follow steps 1-8 as outlined in the undercounter sink
installation section.
CUT-OUT POSITIONING
2.
See Fig. #8. 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 22-3/4”.
3. Carefully measure the countertop to determine the ex-
act location of the cut-out.
4. See Fig. #11. Measure the distance from finished wall to
the center of sink faucet holes (Dim. “Y”). This dimen-
sion 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 be-
tween faucet and backsplash, finished wall, or support
frame. This will ensure full faucet operation when in-
stalled.
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” 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.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not cut, drill,
or sand countertop while positioned over fixture.

7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Apply a generous bead of sealant around the sink rim
(where sink rim and countertop meet).
10.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 ex-
cess sealant with a damp cloth. Fill any voids between
rim and countertop with provided sealant.
11. Sealing gap between apron and cabinet is optional.
