PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS
Due to the special nature of this installation, American Standard recommends that an experienced cabinet
maker build the new cabinet or modify an existing cabinet to achieve a satisfactory installation.
To ensure proper fit of the sink in the cabinet, we suggest you provide the cabinet maker with the actual sink
that will be installed.

Sealant
Apply a generous portion of silicone sealant inside line
traced on countertop. Carefully lower sink into place
and press down firmly. Use guidelines for proper
positioning. Using water to dampen your finger,
remove excess sealant for a smooth even line. Apply
additional sealant if necessary to provide a uniform
bead from the rim of sink to the masking tape line as
shown. Carefully remove tape. Dampen finger and run
it slightly over the sealant to remove any high spots.
