If anyone installed drop-in onto a very thick countertop (2 1/2"), what mounting technique did you use?

I have a tiled counter top with 4" tiles. I had a stainless sink and we pulled it out and just dropped this one in into a bead of waterproof caulk. Did not ever bother to put the clips on underneath. It is heavy and when the caulk dried I put a bead around the outside to make sure it would not leak around rim. It is doing fine and really where is it going to go. The weight and caulk and pluming underneath houd it fine.

I didn't clip my sink, I could have, but because of the weight of the sink I just put a think bead of silicone around the opening and sat it in place. Has been a year with no problems

I have it currently clipped to a 3/4" shelf, which appears to be the optimal thickness. Any more than that, and it would probably 'slide'.

I have it installed as an undermount with granite countertop - very pleased with it. It has been installed for about a year now.

Mine came with an installation guide and a cutting template. I installed mine on a 2" butcher block counter as a top mount and the clips that came with it are very difficult to attach, it's like they are too small. If you have a specific question, I can check my installation guide and try to answer.

Depends on your counter. Ours is granite, so the contractor brought hardware needed for mounting. I think it came with template and some things for mounting under wood counter.

I am not sure, but I would think it is too heavy to mount under the counter. I love the TO but still learning all it will do.

It is a drop in. (also known as top mount. That is verses an undermount sink that mounts under the countertop.

My granite countertop is 1&a; quarter inches thick. The threads of the faucet are 2&a; quarter inches longer than that under the counter,so totally it's about three and a half inches long of threads before putting it through the hole on the counter

you can mount it either way. it is supported from the bottom. for under mount you would you would use a sealant between the sink and bottom of counter top. it does not come with mounting hardware as it is supported by the base cabinet

I have two suggestions, if the wood is not thick you could try and purchase two magnets(Wal-Mart,Hobby Store etc.) and mount these on the inside of your register with double sided tape and attach the deflector that way or you could drill a hole in the sides of the deflector and mount it with screws. The sides are about 1/2" wide. If I were you I would purchase one and try it out.Hope this is of some use.

2" thick isn't a problem, the allowable depth for the bolts that hold it in place are just under 3". As for it being recessed, it depends. There are two bolts on the underside that would be about 1" from the edge of what you're attaching it to. The bolts have flat disks on the end that you screw up tight against the underside of the table. You could conceivably have each bolt at different depths since they operate independently. But, if they happen to hit on the edge of the recessed area where they can't be flat against the underside, then that would be a problem. This is a link to a pic I just took of mine so you have an idea of what you're dealing with. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzfelt1twuPvVGJHUlFobndCU2M/edit?usp=sharing

I installed my Just like David said. i found where i wanted it center on my cabinet and drilled holes through it. Then used large bolts with washers and tightened it down. good luck with it, its really not that bad.

Did you try this? I am going to try it on my wire shelving where my pots are hanging. I'm going to use flat "s" hooks that fit snug on the rim of one shelf and then wire it to the rim of a lower shelf. Of course, unlike a baker's rack, I can adjust the shelves on my wire shelving. Anyone else have any ideas?

I'm not using the edge mount in my application, however it can accommodate quite a thick desk surface up to 2" at least... I will dig one out tomorrow at work and take a photo to post here.

The flange on top was in great shape when i recieved it. It is designed as an under mount, but i dont see anything that would stop you from using it as a drop in.

Based on my installation, I would recommend 1" or greater...solid table top
