CAREFULLY READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

ATTENTION INSTALLER

• ELKAY recommends that Fireclay sinks should be installed by a professional experienced installer.

• Before installation, please inspect the sink for damage. Do not install a damaged sink.

• WARNING: Due to the dimensional variation inherent in the fireclay manufacturing process, sink cutout

templates are not provided. Elkay recommends using the actual sink for the countertop cutout. It is recom-

mended that you discuss with your customer the desired finished appearance of the sink and countertop

installation. Elkay is not responsible for improper sink and/or countertop installations.

• It is recommended that you discuss with your customer and agree to what the finished effect will be. Elkay

is not responsible for improper sink or countertop installations.

• Elkay Fireclay undermounts must be fastened to solid surface countertops only (i.e., granite).

• Elkay is not responsible for sink and countertop if damaged during installation.

• Fireclay sinks are heavy, please arrange for assistance to move or position.

• Follow all local plumbing and building codes.

Fireclay Farmhouse Apron Undermount Sink Only

• A custom sink base cabinet is required.

• Proper installation requires a coordinated effort including advanced dialog between the designer (or

customer), the cabinet maker, the countertop fabricator and the sink installer during the design and instal-

lation phase.

• Elkay recommends providing the cabinet maker with the actual sink to be installed prior to cabinet fabrication.

• It is required that a support frame be constructed inside the cabinet for adequate support of the sink as

shown in Figure 1.

approximate weight of the sink when full.
