CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Cast
iron sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.
Verify that the sink will fit in the cabinet opening. If necessary,
sand the opening or add wood filler strips.
Install the strainer or garbage disposal to the sink according to
the manufacturer's instruction.
Install the faucet to the sink according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Apply a 1" (2.5cm) spot of sealant at each corner of the frame
where it will contact the sink.
NOTE: If using shims, additional sealant will be needed.
Carefully position the sink within the frame, making sure to
center the sink in the cabinet.
Verify that the sink is level. Adjust or shim between the sink and
support if needed.
Apply sealant in the spaces between the sink and the cabinet and
along the sides and back of the sink.
Install the tile. To absorb vibration from a garbage disposal, apply
sealant between the sink and tile directly next to the sink rim.
This will prevent the grout around the sink from cracking.
