Sink Installation Procedure
1. Kindred provides DXF files for The Designer Series sinks on the Tools for the Trade section of
www.kindredcanada.com . This outline of the countertop cut-out is full scale and can be used to
program CNC machinery. The cut-out has been designed to reveal approximately 1/4” of the sink rim.
2. Finish the cut-out edge with the desired router bit (ie, chamfer, bullnose, Roman ogee).
3. Mount a support frame to adjacent cabinets.
A) The position of the frame members (dimensions X and Y) is determined by the sink cut-out location
(see figure). Check front to back dimensions for the sink cut out to ensure adequate clearance for the
faucet and possible use of a flip tray.
B) The elevation of the support frame (dimension Z) will be determined by the material thickness of the
countertop build-up, or substrate.
4. Assemble sink strainers to sink.
5. Clean sink rim and countertop mating surface with solvent.
6. Apply a continuous (translucent color) bead of silicone around the sink rim.
7. Drop sink into opening of support members.
8. Lay countertop onto cabinets.
9. Align the sink to the cut-out so that a uniform reveal of approximately 1/4" shows around the periphery of
the cut-out.
