Step 1: Place the First Piece
Before hanging the slate, decide which pieces need to go in which order. Carefully, lift the first piece of slate and hang it on the wall bracket. While lifting, push up the water disperser so it sits right on top of the slate.
Step 2: Hang the Copper
Hang the copper "curtain" on the wall bracket. This will prevent water from splashing behind the wall.
Step 3: Adjust the Water Disperser Bar
Adjust the water disperser bar. Make sure it’s firmly seated behind the bracket between the melamine and the steel. The front should sit snugly on the beveled edge of the slate.
Step 4: Clean any Debris
Vacuum any dirt and debris that's in the basin.
Step 5: Slide the Splashguard Into Place
Set in the splashguard by sliding it into the basin. Set it as far as it will go against the back of the slate.
Step 6: Position the Side Rails
Position the side rails onto the edges of the slate.
Step 7: Position the Decorative Cover
To cover the copper basin and hide the J-brackets, slide the decorative cover into place.
Step 8: Measure for the Light Hood Placement
Measure and mark the placement for the light hood. Tap and screw in a couple of wall anchors.
