IMPORTANT! Read all instructions carefully before beginning installation or drilling of sink.
Installation instructions for wall-mounted Counter-Sinks.
1. Attach carrier arms to wall studs using the hardware supplied. MTI recommends using all the supplied bolts
for maximum strength.
2. MTI Baths recommends using an industrial strength tape (3M VHB works well) or a liquid nails type
adhesive to attach the countertop to carrier arms. Please check local codes for any mounting requirements.
3. Clean all surfaces with denatured alcohol.
4. If using the tape method, apply tape to carrier arm, peel back a 1” section of the tape, and pull it off toward
the side before placing the sink on the carrier arms. It is extremely important that the sink is properly
aligned at this point because the tape forms an immediate and permanent bond. Pull the 1” piece of tape
back off to expose the rest of the tape’s sticky surface. Press down on the countertop to ensure the
countertop and tape have good contact.
5. If using adhesive, apply a bead of adhesive to each carrier arm. Align the counter-sink it the correct position, and
press firmly to ensure good contact.
6. Install drain and faucet. We recommend the use of silicone in lieu of plumber's putty under the flange of the
lavatory drain.
7. Test for plumbing leaks.
Installation instructions for semi-recessed Continuum sink
1. Locate the two templates provided. Template #1 is the inner cutout. Template #2 is the outer cutout for the
sink. Mark both cutouts on the slab prior to cutting.
2. Using an angle grinder with granite cutting contour blade, cutout the inner most elliptical piece of countertop.
This piece will be re-used as the insert in the finished sink. Make the cutout slightly larger to compensate for
grinding and polishing.
3. Carefully remove the innermost remnant and store in a safe location. Further instructions regarding this
piece are continued on line #8.
4. Widen the cutout in the slab to fit the outermost #2 template dimensions.
5. Insert the sink through cutout and check for proper fit. If sink does not fit properly, lift sink and rotate 180
degrees. Complete installation using a bead of clear silicone.
6. Take innermost remnant and drill (2) 1-1/4” diameter, half moon finger pulls, centered on the left and right
edges. Please see template.
7. Mark the center point of the insert. From the center, grind a gradual slope towards the edge of the insert,
which will facilitate the drainage of the water on the insert. Make sure to keep the center point the highest point.
8. Finish top face and all edges of inner remnant to the template markings. It is ideal to have a 1/8” gap
between the sink and the insert to allow for drainage. Each Sink is hand crafted and some adjustments to
outer edge of inner remnant may be necessary to achieve uniform 1/8” gap.
9. Locate and mark adjustable leg base plate locations on underside of inner remnant. Avoid placing any legs
over the drain location. Legs adjust from 2-1/8 to 3-1/8” in height.
10. Install adjustable legs in a triangular pattern to bottom of inner remnant using two part epoxy. Legs adjust to
accept material 1/2" to 1-1/2" thick.
11. Measure distance from bottom inside of sink to top of outer countertop.
12. Adjust legs to replicate the height measured on line #10.
13. Insert finished remnant to align with outer countertop height. If insert does not hit properly, lift insert and
rotate 180 degrees.
