INSTALLING SINK

1. Position template on countertop. Locate the

template front to rear, so that sink will not inter-

fere with the cabinet.

2. Trace a line around the template. Cut along the

inside of this line to provide opening. This size

opening will provide approximately an 1/8" over-

hang of countertop. (Please see item #2 under

Attention Installer.)

3. Locate and drill the mounting holes (following

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

supplier.

4. Fasten mounting brackets to countertop loosely.

5. Using a good quality silicone caulk, apply a bead

evenly all around the top of the sink flanges.

6. Position and align sink over the countertop

opening. Press silicone onto countertop.

7. Tighten fasteners until mounting brackets are

snug against sink.

8. Check alignment of sink to countertop opening.

9. Tighten down fasteners evenly. Be careful not to

overtighten. Remove excess silicone.

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.
