ATTENTION INSTALLER:
Please read all information below and keep this installation guide for future
reference.
Ruvati recommends that this sink be installed only by a professional installer.
Sink edges may be sharp and can cause accidental injury if not careful.
Wear cut-resistant protective gloves during installation.
Inspect the sink and box contents immediately upon delivery. If you see any
shipping damages on the sink, or missing parts, contact Ruvati Support.
Templates are only provided as a guide. Place template on sink to ensure
the template will give you the proper cutout for the sink. Ruvati is not
responsible for improper sink or countertop installation. Ruvati is not liable
for any damages to sink or countertop or personal injury during
installation.
Follow all local plumbing and building codes.
INSTALLATION
1. Place the sink cut-out template on the
countertop, where the sink is to be installed.
Trace around the outside perimeter with a
pencil.
2. After tracing, remove the template. Use a
straight edge if necessary to straighten out
the traced outline. Use a drill with a 7/8”
spade bit to drill four pilot holes, one in
each corner inside the outline. These holes
will be your starting points for sawing the
hole, so they must be large enough to fit
the blade of a jig saw or keyhole saw.

3. Cut the hole for the sink, using a jig saw to
cut along the outline between each hole.
4. Attach the Basket Strainer Drain Assembly
(included) to your sink by following the
Installation Instructions included with the
drain assembly. The Basket Strainer Drain
Assembly is only for standard drain
installation. If you are installing a Garbage
Disposal unit, you will not be using the
Basket Strainer Drain Assembly for that sink
bowl. Instead, attach the Disposal Flange unit
that came with your Garbage Disposal unit,
by following the disposal manufacturer's
instructions.
5. Apply a “rope” of plumbers putty or caulk
around the perimeter of the underside of the
sink. Flip the sink over and carefully place it
into the countertop opening, with all of the
drains and attachments secured. Press down
firmly to seat the sink against the countertop.
6. Attach mounting clips to the prongs
protruding from the underside of the sink
rim. Make sure the hooked side of the
mounting clip is facing away from the sink.
7. Position the bottom of the mounting clip so
that it is gripping the countertop. Use a
screwdriver to tighten the screws until the
mounting clip is snug against the countertop.
8. Apply a bead of silicone caulking around the
perimeter of the sink where it meets the
counter to seal any gaps. Fill the sink with
water and leave it overnight to add weight
and help it settle in place. Afterwards,
retighten the mounting clips if necessary.

connections, apply a sealant such as plumbers
putty, silicone tape or “pipe dope” to the threads to
ensure a watertight connection.

faucet body or its mounting plate and install it into
the sink (Figure 6).

drain line and water supply tubing. Apply a bead
of silicone caulking around the perimeter of the
sink where it meets the counter to seal any gaps.
