Trace around the sink just like the previous process then remove it. Now make the cut-out lines by using the straightedge to connect all marks. You have connected all the marks with a straightedge that results in a rectangular outline. This rectangular outline will end up with the counter sinkhole. Now approximate the radius sink corners by round off the corners with your hands. Cut a space by using a jigsaw on your sink. Start your cutting from the front hole by matching the cut line to the back hole.
However, to do so, lower your jigsaw blade into a front hole and perform the sink opening cut. Then redo the same procedure for the other holes as well. Take a longer wood scrap than the cut-out over the sink area. However, now screw through the wood scrap as well as into the cut-out waste. It will avert it from including the blade or falling. Determine to get the perfect cut with the front as well as back cut lines.
Now remove the cut-out piece from the sink. However, check out if your sink fits on your new countertop. If you need a bit bigger hole, then trim the gap by using the jigsaw. In this step, you need to install the kitchen faucet. First, organize a padded counter or sawhorse. Then set the sink upside down on that sawhorse or counter.
The gasket seals the kitchen faucet to your sink. With the underside sink deck, screw the under-mount washer and nuts. Before tightening the mounting nuts test, the faucet can swing easily across the sink. You have installed the kitchen faucet perfectly so far. Now pack plumber putty to make a thick roll and place it under the strainer lip.
Perform this action while the sink is still lying upside down. Slip the included strainer supply such as the washer, gasket, and housing through the strainer. Do this task against the sink underside. However, now dab a pipe-joint compound into its exposed threads. Make sure you thread the locknut into the strainer by using your hands.
Tighten the nut with pliers by holding the strainer in place. With the help of a gasket slip nut on the drain tailpiece, attach the gasket to the strainer.
Grasp the strainer with your hand to tighten the nut for accurate fitting. You need to set the sink by squeeze a silicone caulk bead. Perform it while the sink is still lying upside down. However, remove the tape by pulling towards the center of the sinkhole.
Now set the upright sink into the countertop hole. With the help of braided stainless steel hoses or acorn-head supply tubes, connect the sink faucet to the shut-off valves. Then attach the f faucet threaded tailpiece with the sprayer hoses. Organize the trap adapter onto the sink-drain tailpiece to attach the drain pipes. First, divide the PVC pipe into dry-fit lengths and attach the trap adapter to the corner.
Connect the drain elbow to the sink waste line. However, you can slide or swivel the trap through the tailpiece. It will help you to polish the alignment and lengths of the pipes. Use a utility knife to remove the suspend and coat the end pieces with a PVC primer. Please wait until it gets dry to proceed further.
Below is an illustrated sequence that shows how to mark and cut the countertop and mount the bowl. Mount the faucet and drain assembly on the sink. Then temporarily position the sink where it will go. Apply a tub-and-tile caulk around the underside of the rim, following the directions on the label. Allow the sealant to set according to label directions, then connect the drain pipes and water-supply lines.
