Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and disconnect any existing drain lines before removing an old sink. Apply a continuous bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the countertop cutout perimeter before dropping the sink into place and securing the mounting clips from below. Do not overtighten mounting clips, as this can distort the sink rim or damage the countertop surface.
