Centerlines are provided to help align opening. Mark the final

centerline on the countertop using the cut-out template. Drill the

faucet holes using the following chart to determine their size.

NOTE: If there is not enough room at the front of the counter for

the lavatory rim, a larger countertop is needed.

following the pencil line traced from cut-out template. Temporarily

sealant on the counter from the edge of the opening to edge of rim

as measured in Step 5 according to the putty manufacturer' s
