Installation Instructions Kitchen Sinks
General Recommendations:
Please read the installation and maintenance instructions carefully before
installation. Inspect the sink for visible damage before installation. Check
all locally applicable plumbing and building codes.
These instructions apply only to countertop installations of composite or
solid surfaces; for countertop applications of stone, marble, granite or
cutting boards, an experienced countertop fabricator should be consulted for
custom installation.
The LEPUDAY Farmhouse Sink Collection is individually handcrafted and LEPUDAY
recommends using only experienced professional plumbers. For countertop custom
cutting and actual sink installation, on-site installation is also
recommended. The acceptable deviation is approximately inches. For cutting and
precise application and trimming of any adhesive is critical to achieve a
superior fit and finish appearance. Please take extra care in this regard.
1/2 LEPUDAY Farmhouse series sinks require custom cabinets. Consult your
cabinet dealer in advance.

Prepare the sink base cabinet
The farmhouse sink requires a custom sink base cabinet with a front cutout to accommodate a 10″ deep sink. Build structural supports on the inside frame of the sink base cabinet. The structural support must support the weight of the sink and any accessories, such as garbage disposal. When placing the sink on the cabinet support, make sure the top of the sink is flush with the bottom of the countertop. Clean the water supply and drain lines or garbage disposal, if necessary. -
Make template and cutout
Depending on the installation option, make a proper cutout of the countertop. LEPUDAY recommends a 1/4 reveal on 3 sides when installed undermount style. For a flush mount or above counter installation, cut countertop along with outside of sink profile.
LEPUDAY Farmhouse sinks are designed to be installed 3/4 extended out beyond the front end of the countertop. Cut countertop accordingly. No template is provided due to the custom design. Use the actual sink size as the template guide for each installation. After centering the sink and enough space allowing for faucets and backsplashes, use a pencil to outline the sinks as your guide for the cutout. -
Set the sink
Set the sink on top of the cabinet or into the cabinet front cutout. Apply sealant if necessary as a gasket between the sink and cabinet. Use a level to make sure the sink is even and will drain correctly. -
Install the countertop
Place the sink in the support structure. Apply a bead of silicone sealant between the rim of the sink and the countertop to create a watertight seal. Hook up the drain underneath according to the drain instructions and the sink will be ready for use. Use plumbers putty to make a water tight seal between the drain and the sink.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS
- Clean the sink on a regular basis with mild cleaners and a soft cloth. Dry your sink with a soft cloth to prevent water spotting.
- Rub lightly with a soft cloth in the direction of grain lines on a regular basis for additional preventative cleaning. Scrape off heavier gunk with a plastic spatula or scrub it off with a soft scrubber.
- Keep the sink free of any standing water as this can cause a buildup of mineral deposit, which can affect the appearance of your sink.
- Always rinse the sink after using any cleaning agent and wipe dry. Clean any mineral deposits built up over time with a mild solution of vinegar and water followed by a thorough flushing with water.
NEVER
- Never use a steel wool or scoring pad as it damages the sink surface and causes discoloration.
- Never let household cleaners or bleach stay in your sink for a long time, as this may damage the surface of your sink.
- Never leave rubber mats, sponges, or cleaning pads in the sink for a long time as this may ruin the finish of your sink.
- Never use any drain cleaning products containing sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid as this can corrode the sink. Solvent cleaners also contain acids that can damage sink surfaces.
- Never use the inside of the sink as a cutting surface.
