If you are planning to remodel your kitchen then an undermount sink is a good choice. This kind of sink makes your kitchen look more beautiful and classic. The only condition for using this sink in your kitchen is that, they should be used with solid countertops. However, installing an undermount sink is little difficult task.

However, some manufacturers provide precut, predrilled countertops to make the installation process easy but in other cases, you have to work with an uncut countertop. In such cases you will have to cut the hole yourself.

Before installing a new kitchen sink, you first need to decide which kind of sink you are going to purchase because different kinds of sinks with single bowl, double bowl and even triple bowl configurations are available in market. After purchasing only you can start cutting the hole according to the size of the sink.

Read the template carefully that you get along with your sink. By this you can identify correctly that where the sink should be placed on the countertop. Mark the points with the help of sink from where you need to make the cut for setting the sink. You need to be very careful while marking the points as a mistake can ruin the things.

Cutting hole is little difficult. Drill a 3/8″ starting hole in one corner and then use a saber saw to cut the outline. You can also use a keyhole saw or a handsaw for the same purpose. After cutting the hole, flip the counter over and mark to drill holes for the mounting screws on the underside.

While drilling, the countertop surface and sink space gets dirty. So you need to clean it. Plumber’s putty is used to make the sink hold tight and long lasting. Mounting screws should be tightly closed and during this process some putty oozes out. Clean this putty afterwards.

For water supply, a water faucet and a drain is required to be installed in the sink. The drain should be properly installed so that no water spread out here and there.

Leave the plumber’s putty for 24 hours to dry and stick properly. After that, connect the water supply in the stem of faucet. Just for checking leakage in faucet, turn on the water supply. If leakage is there, again tighten the pressure coupling gently and cross check the connections. After curing the leakage, you can start working in your new kitchen sink.
