INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Farmhouse Ceramic Sink
Recommended Tools:
Pre-Install:
Measure the exact dimensions of your sink. Measure the width from the front
top left corner to the front top right corner to get the full width of the
sink. Measure the depth from the front center to the back center. Make sure
these 2 measurements are larger than the countertop cut measurements.
IMPORTANT We recommend consulting a professional if you are unfamiliar
with installing kitchen fixtures and plumbing.
Step 1:
Model No.DLO1-930
Mark 35 1/2in width to cut out on the bottom of the countertop
IMPORTANT Due to the nature of ceramics, each sink dimensions may vary slightly. Make sure your physical sink width is wider than the cut countertop width of 35 1/2in.
Step 2:
Mark 15 1/8in depth (front to back) to cut out on the bottom of the
countertop.
Step 3:
For laminate countertops only, drill pilot holes in the two back corners of
the countertop cut area, then use a saw to cut the countertop. For other
countertop materials refer to your fabricat or manufacturer’s suggested
cutting instructions.
step 4:
Apply silicone to all edges that sink touches the countertop.
IMPORTANT To prevent water leaking into the countertop, sink must be installed with all three cut edges sealed with silicone. Silicone is not included.
Step 5:
With 2 people using caution, carefully top mount the sink into precut
countertop.
IMPORTANT Take care when handling ceramic sinks as they are very heavy
Step 6:
Apply additional silicone to seal up all edges around the sink.
