Installing The Sink And Tap - IKEA ENHET kitchen Installation Manual

Installing the worktop
Clean the raw edges of the cut-out(s) and sand them
a little bit. Then apply silicone to prevent moisture
from penetrating the worktop. Let the silicone dry
before you install the sink and/or hob.

Installing the sink and tap

Before you start to install the kitchen mixer tap,
double-check that the connections between the water
supply and the tap fit. Then switch off the main shut-
off valve. Keep in mind that the installation must be
performed in compliance with current local construc-
tion and plumbing regulations. If in doubt, contact a
professional.
Before sliding the sink into position, follow the
assembly instruction of the sink and attach the
clamps that comes with it. Once in position, adjust
the clamps in order to fixate the sink.
Next, follow the assembly instructions of the water
trap and tap to finalize the sink and tap installation.

Corners can be tricky so take your time and adjust
both pieces until they are perfectly aligned and
level. For small adjustments, use the adjustable feet,
or if necessary, shim between the cabinet and the
worktop.
While some of our sinks come with a pre-cut hole for
the tap, there are cases where you need to install the
tap on the worktop. If this is the case, make sure you
use a drill that is powerful enough to drill through the
worktop material.
If you need to install the tap on the worktop, see the
assembly instruction of the tap for the dimension
of the hole. Once you've marked the position of the
hole, check that it doesn't collide with the top rail of
the cabinet underneath. After you've drilled the hole,
clean and seal the hole with silicone.
Once the worktop pieces are level and align with
the wall, fix the worktop to the cabinets and apply
silicone in order to prevent fluids from penetrating
the worktop.
Once the sink and tap are in place and secured, seal
the edges around them with silicone to secure a
water tight seal.
