EASY-TO-FOLLOW GUIDE FOR OLD LAVATORY
REMOVAL, HOME INSTALLATION, AND MAINTENANCE.
HOW THIS GUIDE WILL HELP YOU
This guide describes everything you need to know about installing your new lavatory. It
includes drawings and descriptions of its parts. Before you begin examine all parts and the
drawings in this guide. If you read the instructions first, you will know what tools and
materials you should have ready during installation.
Please handle all parts carefully to prevent scratches and breakage.

13. Place the four screw clips around the
lavatory so that the clips lock onto the metal
mountingframeasshowninFigure5. Tighten
the screws on the clips evenly all around.
Check the edges for additional sealant and
remove it immediately with a damp cloth.
5. A template has been provided with your
lavatory. This will help you cut an accurate
opening.Placethetemplateonthecountertop.
Normally you will want your lavatory to be
centeredbetweenthefrontedgeofthecounter
and the backsplash. If your counter is more
than 24" front to back, you may place the
lavatory 2" to 3" from the front counter edge.
The minimum distance from the lavatory to
the front of the counter should be 1-1/2". Be
sure to take the lavatory rim into account
when making your measurements.

to place the lavatory on a thick bed of news-
paperswhileworkingonittopreventscratches.
6. If your template is paper, fold it in half to
create a centerline. If your template is card-
board, measure the length and width of the
template to locate the center and draw a line.
Move the template to the desired position and
mark the location of the centerline. Measure

SEALANT
Put in the pop-up drain first. Clean around the
drain hole with a damp cloth to remove any
dust or other particles that may interfere with
a good seal. Remove the washers, nuts, and
flange from the top of the pop-up. Coat the
underside of the flange with sealant (included
with your lavatory) and push it firmly into the
drain opening. Following the manufacturer's
instructions,tightentheflangefirmlyintoplace.

10. Put the metal mounting frame around
the lavatory. Bend the tabs in the frame to-
ward the lavatory, so that the frame is held to
the edges all the way around. See Figure 4.

7. Measure across the metal mounting
frame from side to side to locate its center.
Mark this on the front of the frame. Move the
frame to the desired position and mark the
location of the centerline on the countertop.
Measure the distance from the centerline to
thenearestsidewallortheendofthecounter.
Then measure the same distance from the
side wall to locate the centerline at the back of
the counter.
15. Use a tube cutter to trim the free ends of
the hot and cold supply tubes to at least 1/4"
longer than necessary to reach into the inlets
of the shut-off valves. It is better to cut the
tubes longer than needed, then trim them
again. Remove any burrs or sharp edges with
an emery cloth.

bead of sealant (included with your lavatory)
to the surface around the hole.
8. Drill a hole in the line you have drawn.
The hole should be large enough to take the
blade of a key hole or saber saw. Carefully
saw along the line. See Figure 3. Support the
piece you are cutting out to prevent splitting
when the cut is nearly complete.
12. Carefullyplacethelavatoryintothehole.
A helper may be necessary to lift it into posi-
tion. Align the lavatory in the hole, then push
downward at intervals all around the edge.
This will cause some of the sealant to ooze
out. Wipe off the excess immediately with a
damp cloth. It will be difficult to remove if
allowed to dry.

cast iron product can be eliminated by lightly
rubbing with a dry #600 sandpaper.
