Installation Instructions
Lavatory Drain Installation
MTI’s mineral composite sink bowls are designed to accommodate nearly any
properly-sized lavatory drain kit. Contact area from drain to sink requires
careful installation to seal properly. Because of variations in lavatory drain
design styles, the following drain installation information is provided:
- Apply 100% clear silicone generously near and at the contact area and tighten. Typical tightness is snug plus a half turn. Do not exceed 7 ft-lb maximum. Product damage will occur.
- Insufficient sealant on installation may result in over tightening in an attempt to achieve a better seal at the contact area.
- Over-tightening will create excessive stress at the contact point which can result in compression cracks over time.
- Compression cracks are not considered a defect of material and will void the product’s warranty.
Vessel Sinks

Place sink in installation location and mark drain opening on countertop. If faucet is to
be mounted, allow additional clearance for supply lines. -
Mark a 3–4″ cutout on the countertop for drain assembly. The cutout should be large
enough to tighten the drain assembly. -
Drill appropriately sized hole(s) for faucet valve(s) using a diamond hole saw.
-
Install drain body on sink. 100% clear silicone is recommended in lieu of plumber’s putty
under the waste flange of the lavatory drain. -
Apply a thin bead of polyeurethane-based construction adhesive to bottom of sink and
secure to countertop. -
Place sink onto planned location and allow silicone to cure.
-
Connect supply lines and drain pipes; test for leaks.

Care and Cleaning Instructions
About the Mineral Composite Shell
Mineral composite has a stain-resistant, non-porous surface. With normal use,
this surface will retain its appearance with a minimal amount of care.
When Cleaning
- Remove dust and dry dirt with a soft, damp cloth.
- Apply common household, non-abrasive cleaner in accordance with manufacturer’s directions and precautions. (i.e., a mild dishwashing detergent such as Ivory Liquid). Do not use unless the product label specifically states that it is safe for acrylic or plastic.
- Rinse well and dry with a soft, clean cloth. Scouring pads will deteriorate the finish.
- Never use any type of “scrubbing bubbles” or aerosol spray cleaners on your mineral composite product.
- Never use bleach, ammonia or organic solvents, such as lacquer, alcohol, acids or alkalis to come into contact with the product surface.
- Never use abrasive cleansers. If any product feels gritty when rubbed between your fingers, do not use on the mineral composite surface or system controls as permanent damage will occur.
WARNING: Check cleaning and bathing product labels. Do not use unless the
product label
specifically states that it is safe for acrylic or plastic. Some non-abrasive
products damage the surface over time.
General Care
- Do not allow the mineral composite surface to come into contact with nail polish, nail polish remover, Wintergreen oil, dry cleaning solution, lacquer thinners, gasoline, pine oil, etc.
- Avoid using razor blades or other sharp objects that might scratch the surface.
- MTI strongly recommends a professional surface repair person for deep scratches, chips or gouges.
- Damage occurring to the unit during installation is the responsibility of the installer, and after installation, the responsibility of the user.
