Understanding Undermount Installation and Rear Center Drainage
An undermount sink is installed from beneath the solid surface countertop, creating a continuous, lip-free edge where the counter meets the basin. Think of it like a picture frame mounted behind glass rather than in front of it; the countertop edge sits cleanly over the sink wall, allowing you to wipe crumbs or water directly into the basin with a single motion. Coupled with a rear center drain, this design keeps the plumbing exit out of the direct line of sight and prevents standing water from pooling beneath large items placed in the center of the 16 by 18 inch inner bowl.
Installation Guide
Verify countertop cutout dimensions match the 20-inch width and 18-inch length specifications before starting installation.
Use appropriate silicone sealant to create a watertight bond between the undermount rim and the underside of your countertop.
Secure the mounting brackets evenly around the perimeter according to the included DIY instructions.
Connect your preferred deck mount faucet and 3 1/2-inch drain assembly, ensuring all threaded connections are hand tight plus a quarter turn.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Rinse the stainless steel basin thoroughly after each use to remove soap residue and prevent mineral buildup.
Wipe Dry Use a soft microfiber cloth to dry the chrome finished surface after use to maintain its reflective sheen.
Avoid Harsh Scratches Never use steel wool or abrasive scouring pads, which can dull the polished metal surface.
Gentle Cleaners Clean using mild dish soap and warm water, followed by a thorough water rinse.
Address Stains Promptly Remove stubborn spots or water marks using a dedicated stainless steel cleaner applied in the direction of the grain.
