Undercounter Installation
NOTE: You may require different, more specialized tools to install
this lavatory to countertop materials other than wood or wood
composites.
NOTE: Install so future removal from underneath the countertop is
possible to avoid countertop damage.
Check the desired lavatory location for clearance between the
backsplash, faucet and lavatory.
Verify cabinet clearance beneath the countertop.
Cut out the template where indicated for countertop opening. Cut
along the inside of the cutting line.
Position and trace around the template on the countertop with a
pencil.
Mark the faucet hole centerline on the countertop.
Tile-In Installation

be bonded to the backer board with dry set or latex Portland mortar.
