2. Install the Sink
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Cast
iron sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink.
Cut out the opening by carefully following the pencil line traced
from the template.
Measure and compare the thickness of the sink rim and the tile.
The rim thickness on this sink is 3/8" (1cm) plus or minus 1/32"
(1mm). Because of the varying thickness of the tile and sink, or if
adhesive or mortar bed installation is used, make allowances to
shim the sink, or route the underlayment as required.
NOTE: This sink is designed to be installed flush with or slightly
lower than the surrounding tile.
NOTE: If the tiled countertop transitions into a laminated
countertop, the laminated countertop must be installed after the tile
has been installed to ensure a flush transition between the two
surfaces.
Position the sink in the countertop opening. Verify the fit and
position.
Carefully remove the sink.
Install the faucet and strainer(s) to the sink according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Place a 1" (2.5cm) spot of sealant at each corner of the frame
where it will contact the sink.
NOTE: Apply additional sealant if using shims.
