MR Undermount Sinks Installation Guide

THE INSTALLATION OF ANY UNDERMOUNT-STYLE SINK

Undermount sinks are designed to be mounted below the countertop. They are available in stainless steel, porcelain, Quartz Granite, copper and bronze

An undermount sink can be installed in three different fashions:

A flush mount allows the well of the sink to line up perfectly with the edge of the countertop opening.
A positive reveal allows a portion of the sink rim to be exposed.
A negative reveal allows the countertop to slightly overlap the interior of the basin.

THE STEPS

Using the template provided, measure and cut the hole in the countertop.
Determine the locations for the clip brackets around the perimeter of the sink. Pre-drill holes for the clips using appropriate methods for the countertop material.
With denatured alcohol, clean the surfaces of the sink and countertop which will meet.
Evenly apply a bead of silicone along perimeter edge of the opening on the underside of the countertop.
Carefully align the sink under the countertop opening. Evenly apply pressure to the sink securing a seal of the silicone against the countertop.
Re-check that the sink is evenly aligned with the countertop.
Attach and tighten the clip brackets against the edge of the sink. Do not tighten one screw completely before others. Partially tighten one clip then the one across from it, and so on until all clips are fully tightened. This will safeguard against an uneven or insecure installation.
Remove any excess silicone along the sink lip under the countertop.
Use a cloth with denatured alcohol along the inner perimeter of the sink and top of counter to remove any excess sealant.
