Tools and Materials

Important Information

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Cast iron sinks are

heavy. Get help when lifting or moving.

IMPORTANT! Refer to the ″Roughing-In and Preparation″section

for cabinet dimensional requirements.

IMPORTANT! The cabinet must be installed and secured, and must

be plumb and level.

IMPORTANT! Long screws may damage adjacent cabinets. Ensure

the screws are long enough to secure the support framing, but short

enough not to extend through the walls of adjacent cabinets.

Due to the nature of under-mount installations, Kohler Co.

recommends that under-mount sink installations be performed by

trained and experienced installers.

Use proper fasteners and techniques to ensure the frame will

support a minimum of 300 lbs (136 kg). Locate the fasteners for

easy access in the event the sink needs to be removed.

For K-5826 Only: This sink is intended for installation into a

standard 33″base cabinet.

For K-6426 and K-6488: This sink is intended for installation into

a standard 36″base cabinet.

For K-6486 Only: This sink is intended for installation into a

standard 30″base cabinet.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.

1. Roughing-In and Preparation

IMPORTANT! Before installing this sink, verify the opening height

(A) is less than the apron height, and the distance to the top of the

doors (B) is greater than the apron height.

NOTE: For cabinets with ﬂat fronts (no false drawer openings),

proceed to the ″Prepare the Cabinet - Flat Front″section.

Remove the false drawer front from your cabinet. Use care not to

damage the cabinet.

TIP: Apply painter’s tape to the cabinet to mark cuts and protect

cabinet surfaces when cutting.

Measure and mark 7/8” (22 mm) in from the outside edge of the

cabinet. Repeat for the other side.

Cut along each marked line until the cut extends slightly beyond

the top of the drawer opening/top rail of the cabinet.

Following the bottom edge of the rail, extend your cut until it

intersects with the previous cut. Repeat for the other side.

2. Prepare the Cabinet - Flat Front

top and centered left to right; secure with tape.

Trace the template and remove.

Cut the cabinet along the traced line.

Cut along

the traced line.

3. Install the Support Framing

NOTICE: For proper countertop installation, the top of the sink

must not extend above the top of the cabinet.

Cut two lengths of support framing to extend horizontally along

the inside walls on each side of the cabinet.

Measure and mark the support mounting locations; ensure the

sink rim will sit at or slightly below the top of the cabinet.

Position and level the supports.

TIP: Use clamps to hold the supports in position.

Secure the supports with construction adhesive and screws (not

provided).

Optional Vertical Supports

Cut four lengths of support framing to extend from the bottom of

the horizontal supports to the ﬂoor of the cabinet.

Secure the vertical supports with construction adhesive and

screws (not provided).

4. Install the Sink

Lower the sink onto the supports; verify the sink is supported by

the frame.

Push the sink in to ensure the apron is ﬂush to the front of the

cabinet.

Verify the sink is level; make any adjustments and shim as

needed.

Kohler Co. 7 1217971-2-A

5. Install the Countertop

Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the side and back of the

sink.

Install the countertop.

Apply a thin bead of silicone sealant where the sink meets the

countertop and cabinet.

Immediately wipe away any excess sealant.

6. Complete the Installation

Install the faucet according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Connect the drain piping.

Run water into the sink and check all connections for leaks.

Care and Cleaning (cont.)

•Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area

before applying to the entire surface.

•Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately

after applying cleaner. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands on

nearby surfaces.

•Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive

material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.

•Be careful not to leave staining materials in contact with the

any water from the surface after each use.
