How to install a double kitchen sink?
I new some resources to help with this project.
1.
The first step when installing a new sink is to properly site the opening. Most sink manufacturers provide a template. Position the template so it is centered on the sink cabinet and is at least 1 1/2 inches back from the countertop's front edge. If your countertop is deeper than 24 inches, place it farther back, but not more than 4 inches. Tape the template in place, then outline it with a marker.
2.
After marking the opening, remove the template and drill a 3/8-inch-diameter hole in each corner. Insert a saber-saw blade in one of the holes and start cutting along the inside of the line. To prevent the cutout from snapping off and falling through as you complete the cuts, first screw a scrap of wood from front to back on the top of the cutout long enough so it spans the opening, plus a couple of inches. When you've finished, simply lift the cutout from the template.
3.
Install the faucet (see Installing a kitchen faucet for instructions) and the sink strainers. (Doing this when you've got full access to the sink will be much easier than fitting the pieces in from below after the sink is installed.) Next, to create a watertight seal between the sink and the countertop, apply a bead of silicone caulk or plumber's putty around the entire per-imeter of the underside of the sink's lip.
4.
Carefully flip the sink over and insert into the opening, taking care not to disturb the caulk or putty. If your sink is heavy, get help lifting and installing it; also consider placing a couple of scraps of wood near the edge of the opening to support the sink and protect your fingers as you drop it into position.
5.
Most sinks are pulled down tight against the countertop with special mounting clips that hook onto the lip on the underside of the sink and are tightened with a screwdriver or nutdriver. Follow the manufacturer's directions for spacing these clips. Tightening the mounting clips may cause the caulk or putty to squeeze out from under the sink lip, so remove this excess with a clean, soft rag.
