INSTALLING AN INSET SINK AND TAPS

The tools you require and the amount of plumbing needed will vary
depending on the type of sink and taps you have chosen.
Start by carefully measuring up, marking out the sink outline - a template is
usually provided with the sink. Remember you’re not measuring out to the
full width/length of the sink as a lip around it will hold it in place. Once
marked out, carefully cut out with a jigsaw.
With the sink on its face, seal around the rim. Fit the securing clips to the
sink - this ensures the sink is firmly attached to the worktop. Now is the time to
fit your taps, following the instructions you receive in the packaging.

Look to see whether the hot pipe is on the left as you look at the sink .
When undoing the cap nuts of each connector and you’ve slipped the nut and
olive onto each pipe, use a spring-clip clothes-peg below each pipe to stop
them slipping off.
Read and fully understand the instructions before you start.
