How to Install a Basin with Brackets

How to Install a Basin with Brackets

Tools Required (not supplied):

  • Pencil
  • Protective cloth
  • Silicone sealant
  • Cutter
  • Caulk finishing tool
  • Screwdriver
  • Level

Step 1: Preparation

  1. Remove Mounting Hardware: Detach all pre-installed mounting hardware (screws, washers, nuts, etc.) from the basin and the wooden MDF board.
    Warning
    • Important: The basins are fragile, so handle them with care and have assistance if needed.
  2. Reuse Existing Brackets: The basin comes with pre-installed brackets attached to a wooden plate (MDF board). These brackets will be reused for the installation.

Step 2: Basin Installation – Positioning the Basin

  1. Turn Over the Countertop: Carefully flip the countertop onto a soft, stable surface to prevent damage.
    Info
    • Tip: Ensure the basin overflow is positioned directly across from the faucet holes.
  2. Position the Basin: Place the basin over the cutout on the countertop, ensuring it is centered with the faucet hole and evenly spaced between the mounting holes.
  3. Mark the Outline: Use a pencil to trace the outline of the basin on the countertop.
  4. Apply Silicone Sealant: Remove the basin and apply a bead of silicone sealant around the top edge of the basin rim.



Step 3: Securing the Basin

  1. Reposition the Basin: Carefully place the basin upside down on the countertop, aligning it with the marked outline. Press firmly into place.
  2. Reattach the Brackets: Reuse the pre-installed brackets that came with the basin. Use the same screws, washers, and nuts to secure the brackets to the basin lip, ensuring the basin is firmly held in place.
    • Tip: Make sure the basin is properly aligned and do not overtighten the screws.
  3. Clean Excess Silicone: Wipe away any excess silicone from underneath the basin with a clean cloth.
  4. Cure the Silicone: Allow the silicone to dry for 24 hours before continuing with any additional installation or using the vanity.



Important Notes:

Alert
  • Allow the installation to dry for 24 hours before use to ensure the silicone sets fully and the basin is securely installed.
