Installation Options: There are diﬀerent installation options depending on your cabinet design. Caution: All installation types need to allow room for faucet installation. Ensure adequate clearance behind the sink for any faucet and backsplash, as well as full range of motion for faucet spouts and handles. Typical undermount installation with 1/4” reveal is recommended. Built-up installation may expose sink sides to be raised up to 1” above the countertop.

1. Prepare the Sink Base Cabinet There are diﬀerent installation options depending on your design. Farmhouse sinks require custom sink base cabinets with a front cutout to accommodate a 10” deep sink. Build a plywood platform on a support frame inside the sink base cabinet. Platform must support the weight of the sink and any attachments such as garbage disposals. When the sink is placed onto a platform, make sure the top of the sink is evenly flush against the bottom of the countertop.
