1. Remove new sink from the carton. Use caution as sink edges may cause minor cuts. Wear safety gloves for your protection.
2. If you are replacing old sink, remove old one and verify existing countertop opening will fit your new sink by setting it temporarily.
3. If you are installing a sink to a new counter top, please follow directions as shown.
4. Place sink upside down on the counter top in desired position and trace completely outside sink rim using soft lead pencil. (Figure 1)
5. Remove sink from counter top and draw cutout line 5/16” inside the original rim outside line with 1-1/2” radius at corners. Drill hole at the inside corner of the cutout line. (Figure 2)
6. Using a jig saw, start cutting from the drilled hole along the cutout line. Support cutout until the cut is completed. (Figure 3)
7. Apply caulking compound around the perimeter of the cutout opening.
8. Attach faucet and strainers as necessary according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
9. Verify your sink installation channel and clips that came with the sink and follow proper instructions below.
I-Channel System : L-shaped single blade channel
10. Place the sink upside down. Hold clip by the bracket firmly and insert one leg at a time in 45 degree angle to the slot in the I-channel, facing sharp teeth toward the outer edge of the sink.
11. Attach 3 clips in front and back, 2 clips to each side. Use extreme caution while inserting clips as the teeth are sharp and may cause injury.
12. Place the sink carefully into the cutout opening and be sure it is properly seated. Make sure the sink rim covers caulking all around. Then press down firmly around perimeter of the sink rim. (Go to 13)

U-channel System : U-shaped double blade channel
10. Insert clip into the channel from the end, placing screw head inside the channel. Locate 3 clips in front and back. 2 clips to each side and arrange spacing evenly around the sink . Position the clip assembly parallel to the channel.
11. Place the sink carefully into the cutout opening and be sure it is properly seated. Make sure sink rim covers caulking all around. Press down firmly around the perimeter of the sink rim. |

J-bracket System : J-shaped bracket with long screw
10. Insert bolt (with L-clip attached) horizontally into round opening of the bracket.
11. Swing the bolt down vertically; the spacer between the threads will self-center the bolt.
12. Grasp the L-clip and ensure long side is facing out and away from sink. Turn bolt clockwise; this action will begin snuggling up the L-clip towards the underside of countertop. (Go to 13) |
