How To Attach Undermount Sink

Undermount sinks are a popular choice for many kitchens because they create a seamless look and make it easy to clean around the sink. However, installing an undermount sink can be a bit more challenging than installing a top-mount sink. Here are the steps on how to attach an undermount sink:

1. Prepare the cabinet:
Before you can install the sink, you need to prepare the cabinet. This involves removing the doors and drawers, and then cutting out the opening for the sink. The opening should be slightly smaller than the sink itself, so that the sink will fit snugly into place.

2. Apply sealant to the sink:
Once the opening is cut, you need to apply a bead of silicone sealant to the edge of the sink. This will help to create a watertight seal between the sink and the cabinet.

3. Position the sink in the opening:
Carefully position the sink in the opening and press it down into place. Make sure that the sink is level and that the sealant is evenly distributed around the edge of the sink.

4. Secure the sink:
Once the sink is in place, you need to secure it with screws or clips. Most undermount sinks come with mounting brackets that will help to hold the sink in place. Tighten the screws or clips until the sink is secure.

5. Reconnect the plumbing:
Once the sink is secured, you need to reconnect the plumbing. This involves attaching the water supply lines and the drain.

6. Install the faucet:
The final step is to install the faucet. Most faucets come with instructions on how to install them. Follow the instructions carefully to ensure that the faucet is properly installed.

Once the faucet is installed, your undermount sink is complete. Enjoy the new look and functionality of your kitchen!
