INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL ADVICE

Please read these instructions before you begin installation.

1. Unpack the sink and inspect for any shipping damage before starting the installation.

Do not install a damaged unit. *Undermount Sinks with slightly bent rims due to possible damage in

shipping can be flattened and installed.

2. Strictly Kitchen and Bath accepts no liability for damage to the countertop, cabinet, sink, or any

other fixture during installation.

3. Installation of this product may require custom cabinetry. We recommend that an experienced cabinet

maker build the new cabinet, or is responsible for modifications to existing cabinets, for this product.

4. To ensure a proper fit between the sink and the cabinet, and between the sink and the countertop

cut-out, and between the sink and any support framing, the fabricator/installer should have the actual

product in-hand.

The majority of sinks include a factory supplied template to assist the fabricator/installer when

preparing the countertop cut-out. This template has been sized to create a uniform reveal of the

sink rim, and this reveal is recommended in order to compensate for the dimensional variability

of hand fabricated product. Any deviation from this recommendation is certainly permissible, but

must be based upon agreement between the customer and the fabricator/installer …and any

changes should be planned with the actual product in-hand for dimensional verification.

5. The aesthetics of the installed product is of the utmost importance. Tip: Cover the sink when

templating or cutting to avoid possible debris from falling in and scratching the sink. It is

recommended to wash away debris instead of wipe. Please take the necessary care to ensure

that any exposed silicone joints are kept to a minimum, the sink is properly aligned to the cut-

out, and excess silicone is cleaned from the sink.

6. This product is hand fabricated, and dimensions of the the product will vary from one unit to the

next. Industry accepted dimensional variance for this type of product is within 1/8".
