Install the Lavatory/Sink (cont.)
Install the faucet to the countertop according to the faucet
manufacturer's instructions.
Install the drain to the lavatory according to the drain
manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: Do not use adhesives or adhesive sealants.
Apply a continuous bead of quality sealant to the top surface of
the lavatory rim where it will contact the countertop.
IMPORTANT! Risk of personal injury or product damage. Handle
with care. Product can break, chip or cause injury if handled
carelessly. Get help lifting the lavatory.
For marble countertops, install the lavatory to the countertop
with the clamps and screws provided. For other countertop
materials, refer to the countertop manufacturer's instructions for
recommended fasteners.
Position the lavatory squarely under the cutout before tightening
the clamps. Draw the lavatory rim up against the countertop until
it is snug. Do not overtighten.
Immediately wipe away any excess sealant and fill any voids as
needed.
Allow the sealant to set for 30 minutes before proceeding.
Connect and tighten the trap to the drain, and complete the water
supply connections to the faucet according to the instructions
packed with the faucet.
Run water into the lavatory and check for leaks.
Clean up with a non-abrasive cleaner.
Tile-In Installation
Cut out the opening by carefully following the pencil line traced
from the template.
Drill the faucet holes according to the faucet installation
instructions.
Measure and compare the thickness of the lavatory rim and tile.
The lavatory rim thickness is 3/8" (1 cm) plus or minus 1/32"
(1 mm). Because of the varying thickness of the tile and lavatory,
or if adhesive or mortar bed installation is used, make allowances
to shim the lavatory, or route the underlayment as required.
