Cut Resistant
• Elkay recommends that undermount sinks be installed by a professional, experienced installer.• Enclosed in the sink carton is a cutout template that can be used to make the countertop cutout per the installation type of the sink model purchased (1/2" sink rim reveal or a 1/8" no reveal). For sink models that have a cutout template with both a reveal and no reveal option, please use caution in selecting the correct outline on the template for your desired installation type. Your installer may also retrieve the desired DXF file from our website, www.elkay.com. • Elkay undermount sinks should only be fastened to a solid surface countertop (i.e. granite / Corian®). Elkay recommends that the sink cutout and mounting holes be cut by the countertop fabricator prior to installation. • Elkay is not responsible for the sink or countertop if damaged during installation. • Metal edges may be sharp. Use caution when handling.• Follow all local plumbing and building codes.• Inspect sink for damage prior to beginning installation.
