IMPORTANT
- Please note: Unlike typical undermount kitchen sink installations, The Galley Workstation is installed in the cabinet prior to the counter being templated. A wood support frame will need to be constructed and mounted inside the base cabinet(s) and recessed down 1/16″ from the top of the cabinet(s).
- Leave the installation instructions tray affixed to The Galley Basin until the countertop has been templated, and leave the basin braces affixed to the Basin’s tiers until the countertop has been installed and silicone has cured for a minimum of one hour.
- The Workstation and Tap require a minimum of 22 1/2” inside the cabinet. For 24” deep inset cabinets installed against a wall, the cabinet must be pulled 1” away from the wall.
- For countertops with a laminated or built-up decorative front edge, construct the wood support frame to finish 1/16” below the underside of the countertop cutout area.
Inspect The Galley Basin for any damage prior to installation. For any questions or concerns please contact us immediately at 800.375.4255 or customerservice@thegalley.com.
Please refer to all local plumbing and building codes prior to installation.

Before You Begin
If your cabinet(s) have been built to accommodate your Galley Workstation, proceed to Step One. If you are joining two or more cabinets together to house the Galley Workstation, you will need to trim the bulkheads to create an 12″ clearance for the Basin.
-
CONSTRUCT SUPPORT STRUCTURE
a) A wood support frame (cleat system) will need to be built and installed into the cabinet(s). This frame will support the weight of The Galley Workstation.
NOTE: Clips are NOT to be used.
b) Construct the support frame so that the inside dimensions of the frame are 1/4″ larger than the Basin’s inside width and length dimensions. Please refer to pages 1-8 for your Galley dimensions.
NOTE: For a Galley Workstation + DryDock®, the support frame must be built with 3/4” x 1-3/4” boards so that there is no interference with any undercounter appliances.
-
ATTACH THE SUPPORT FRAME TO THE INTERIOR WALLS OF THE CABINET
IMPORTANT
Place the support frame into the cabinet flush with the front of the cabinet. This will ensure that there is the minimum 2-3/4” plumbing space from the back of the frame to the cabinet wall needed.
The support frame must be installed 1/16” lower than the top of the cabinet.
NOTE: Use a level to ensure that the support frame is installed level in the cabinet. Once installed, the top of the Basin Flanges will be flush with the top of the cabinet.
Attach the support frame to the interior walls of the cabinet.
-
INSTALL THE WORKSTATION BASIN
a) Carefully place The Galley Basin into the cabinet by resting the flanges on the support frame. All four flanges should rest on the support frame.
b) Use a level to ensure that the flanges are level. The top of the flanges should be flush with the top of the cabinet.
c) Position the Basin so that it is perfectly square within the cabinet.
YOU ARE NOW READY FOR THE COUNTERTOP FABRICATOR
Countertop Installation
Use the white template tray affixed to The Galley Basin flanges as your guide for the front to back, and left to right cutout. Refer to pages 1-8 for your overall cutout dimensions or refer to the drawing on the template tray.
NOTE :
The suggested maximum corner radius is 3/8”.
Please refer to countertop manufacturer’s warranted minimums
The front to back cutout dimension must always be cut exactly at 18” to ensure that all Culinary Tools work properly on the Basin tiers. The left to right dimension should be cut exactly to the specs outlined in pages 1-8.
STEP 1
Tape off the interior edge of the Basin along the perimeter of the flange. This tape will catch any excess caulking that is produced when the countertop is installed.
STEP 2
Apply a heavy, even bead of silicone to the Basin’s exposed flange.
STEP 3
Before setting the countertop in place, make sure the Basin is perfectly square in the cabinet. Set the countertop and position it properly. The countertop cutout should be flush with all four sides of the Basin, confirmed with a zero reveal.
STEP 4
Once the countertop has been set and the zero reveal confirmed, remove the excess silicone that is on the taped flanges with a wet rag.
STEP 5
Wait approximately one hour and remove tape and Basin braces. This will leave clean and even lines of silicone along the Basin flanges.
