Installation of Steel Queen
Undermount Sinks
METHOD ONE
NOTE: These instructions apply only to:
SURELL BY FORMICA AVONITE (CLASS 1)
CORIAN BY DUPONT FOUNTAINHEAD BY NEVAMAR
For all other polymer based materials, or natural stone countertops,
refer to Installation Method Two following.
• Steel Queen undermount sinks have a highly polished sink rim. To highlight this unique design
feature, our installation system reveals up to 3/8” of the sink rim.
• Kindred accepts no liability for damage to the solid surface countertop, or sink fixture, during
installation.
• Inspect the sink fixture for any shipping damage, prior to installation. Do not install a damaged unit.
• Aesthetics are essential to presentation of the installed sink unit. Take the necessary care to ensure
that the exposed silicone joint is kept to a minimum, the sink is properly aligned to the cut-out, and
excess silicone is cleaned from the sink.
Kindred has supplied within the sink carton: 3 1/2" strainers (waste assembly), a die-cut corrugated template,
homeowner's manual, and a hardware kit. The intention of the hardware kit is to clamp the sink rim to the
underside of the countertop, and backup the silicone seal.
• An assortment of clamps
• A solvent such as methyl hydrate or denatured alcohol
• Silicone sealant
• 1/2" plywood buildup
• 180 grit sandpaper
• Jig saw
• 1 1/2” router guide bushing
• 1/2" straight cutter bit
