INSTALLATION OPTIONS

Ruvati sinks can be installed either with a 1/4” reveal, flush fit, or with a negative reveal (overhang).

1/4” RevealThe countertop edge sits approximately 1/4” back from the edge of the sink and exposes the rim of the sink.

Flush FitThe countertop meets the edge of the sink, fitting flush with the sink b

1/4” OverhangThe countertop extends 1/4” over the edge of the sink on all sides.

NOTE: The following instructions are for solid stone countertop (granite, marble or cultured stone) countertops.

Place template on countertop. Position it such that the sink will have proper clearance from cabinet.
Trace a line around the template.Determine what “reveal” you want your sink to have (see previous page) and based on that, adjust the line accordingly. Cut along the line.
Turn the countertop upside down, and mark evenly-spaced positions for the anchors for the mounting clip. We recommend 3 mounting clips for the sink sides 20” and longer, and 2 mounting clips for the shorter sides.
Using a 1/4″ drill-bit equipped with a depth stop, drill 1/4″ wide and 3/8″ deep holes into the countertop. Tap the brass inserts into the holes, split end first.(Note: If you are using a wooden countertop use a proper wood screw (not provided) instead of the stud. Screw the Mounting Clip securely to the wooden countertop)
Clean the underside of the countertop and the rim of the sink. Using a good quality silicone caulk, apply silicone caulk evenly around the rim of the sink.
Place sink over the countertop opening. Attach the mounting clips and tighten the screws until mounting clips are snug against sink.
Check alignment of sink to countertop opening and move slightly if you have to.
Tighten down screws evenly without overtightening. Remove excess silicone.INSTALATION IM ZERO REVEAL MONT

Care and Maintenance

Clean regularly with dish-washing detergent and warm water.
Make a habit of drying your sink after use. This is not necessary, but a good practice, and will ensure that no build up of limescale occurs.
Food stains such as wine, coffee, tea, should be removed immediately using warm water and detergent. Stubborn stains can be removed by rubbing with alcohol and rinsed off with water.
Never place extremely hot pots directly on the sink surface. Use a potholder. The bottom of a pot just removed from the burner can reach temperatures over 600° C and can cause permanent damage.
Never pour gasoline, acid, alkali, bleach or any solvents in general into or onto the sink because they can interact with the material of the sink and damage it.
Never use a steel wool pad, or abrasive cleaning material to clean your sink. Doing so may damage the sink’s surface and cause discoloration.
Never let soap or other household cleaners dry on the surface of the sink. Most products contain additives which will affect the finish of the sink.
Never use abrasive cleaning powders on the sink. This can damage the surface.
Never let drain cleaners come in to contact with the sink.
