the countertop manufacturer’s instructions) as

shown below. Holes should allow even spacing

of mounting brackets around the sink. Type of

fasteners to be as recommended by countertop

evenly all around the top of the sink flanges.

Installation Instructions Suggestions for the Care and Cleaning of your Elkay Stainless Steel Sink ELKAY SATIN FINISH Elkay's original highlighted satin finish is produced by an abrasive grinding operation which lends a uniform pattern of satin finish lines to the metal surface. All exposed areas then undergo a series of progressive machine and hand polishing operations. It is this careful polishing that makes an Elkay satin luster finish so beautiful…and so easy to clean and maintain.
