    Vanity Installation

    1. Dryfit the new vanity and mark the holes for the anchors.

    2. Tap the marks with a nail punch and a hammer to prestart the hole (figure A).

    3. Drill holes for the anchors and move the vanity back in place.

    4. Tap the anchors in with a hammer and then tighten with a ratchet (figure B).

    5. Attach the faucet to the countertop.

    6. Flip the countertop over and put a 3/8ths inch bead of silicone around the opening on underside of the counter (figure C).

    7. Set the sink on the opening and look throughout the drain hole to make sure the sink is centered (figure D).

    8. Set the clips and lightly tighten with ratchet, being careful not to crack the sink (figure E).

    9. Flip over the sink and center it on the vanity. A bead of silicone will secure the countertop to the vanity.

    10. The installation is complete (figure F)!
