6. Undercounter/Solid Surface Installation
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage.
Cast
iron sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage.
Do not cut, drill, or sand
the countertop while positioned over the fixture.
Both undercounter and solid surface installations are covered in
these instructions. Any differences are noted in the text.
Measure the distance “Y” (see illustration) from the finished wall
to the center of the sink faucet holes. This dimension will be used
to locate the faucet hole centerline and the back edge of the
cut-out on the countertop. Verify that there is adequate clearance
between the faucet handles and the backsplash or finished wall to
ensure proper faucet operation.
From the back edge of the countertop, measure the same distance
as “Y” and draw the faucet centerline. For undercounter
installation, add 1-1/2
″
(3.8cm) to the faucet centerline to locate
the back edge of the cut-out. For solid surface installation,
subtract 1-1/2” (3.8cm) from the faucet centerline to locate the
back edge of the cut-out.
Trace the cut-out opening onto the countertop using a soft lead
pencil.
For undercounter installation, locate the faucet holes.
Cut out the opening by carefully following the pencil line.
For undercounter installation, drill the faucet holes.
