Step-by-Step Installation Guide

 

1.     Start by turning off the water supply and disconnecting the old sink. Remember, Plumbing & Parts Home Centre offers all the kitchen sink parts you might need if you encounter any issues during removal.

 

2.     Carefully measure your new sink and compare it to the existing cutout. If adjustments are needed, mark them clearly. Our kitchen and bath store experts can provide advice on proper measuring techniques.

 

3.     Apply a bead of silicone caulk around the perimeter of the sink opening. This will create a watertight seal and prevent water damage.

 

4.     Gently lower your new sink into place. Make sure it's centered and level. Press down firmly to set the caulk.

 

5.     Attach the sink clips underneath and tighten them evenly. Then, connect the faucet and drain assembly using the kitchen sink parts you've obtained from Plumbing & Parts Home Centre.

 

6.     Connect the water supply lines and drain pipes. Double-check all connections to ensure they're tight and leak-free.

 

7.     Turn on the water supply and run the faucet to check for leaks. If you spot any, tighten connections as needed.
