Do I need a ring between sink and countertop?

The sink does not come with drain and mounting pieces. I had to purchase those separate from the sink but the drain/mounting kit came with everything I needed to install the sink on top of my counter.

I put a small bead of caulk where the sink and counter top met. After installing everything I put another small bead of caulk along the parimeter where the 2 meet to prevent water from getting under the sink.

It depends on the gap between your wall and the back of the sink. If it is around 4" you should be fine, any counter surface wider than that and it would feel odd. Also make sure you are ok with having a faucet that wide over your sink. The other bit of advice I would give is that you need to have at least 6" of depth in your wall cavity to make this fit with the hardware that is provided.

No, you need something to prevent them from falling into the sink. We use a perforated silverware holder from an older rack.

This is just the drain stopper here. You will need to buy a faucet separately, and in the description of that faucet, it will say if there is a plate to cover extra holes you might already have in your sink. You just have to watch that the bronze colors match. Some companies' idea of bronze varies from others'.

I'm pretty certain the sink did not come with the mounting ring. I was replacing bigger vessel sinks and used the ones I already had. This sink is great for a small surface. I used them to replace larger vessel sinks in two of my smaller bathrooms and I am happy with the increased counter space.

We also purchased a brushed bronzed push drain stopper fit the sink....on amazon

Yes, you need a mounting ring. A plumber installed it for me, but he was able to use the existing plumbing fro previous sink (which was a regular oval over mount type). So, I think standard plumbing should work.

this sink mounts under your countertop. you can use any faucet you want. the holes are cut into yor countertop. i used a single hole faucet.

and a basket strainer (if you can't reuse your old one), plumbers putty,...undermount sink- ours used silcone and wood bracing, no clips. If you are having new countertops, the installers will be the one's to install the sink so you could check with them to see if they need clips.

There are no holes in this sink. The faucet would be mounted in your countertop directly behind the sink.

I did purchase the LK35 strainer in addition to the sink. Pretty expensive little piece, but necessary! I also purchased the Elkay metal sink protectors for each side. Was able to purchase all on Amazon.

This is an above the counter sink. You probably won't be able to use existing counter-top. The new top should be a few inches larger than the diameter of the sink on each side. Only 2 small holes are needed, one for the sink's drain (in the middle) and one for the Vessel type faucet (tall, single handle) on the side or back of the sink.

It's highly recommended that you replace the old ring with the new one that comes with it. They are similar, but different. The old one will likely work fine, but the new one will work better. If you happen to have a thick sink like cast iron, fiber glass or stone composite, then you will likely have no choice but to change it since the mounting screws will be too low. The new ring will come with shorter mounting screws as an option for the thicker sinks.

Yes. My sink sits below the countertop, so the hole is drilled into the countertop itself. You could drill as few or as many holes as you need.

In looking at our installation, I would say no. Our sink is siliconed into place and supported with wooden braces that I would say were made up and installed by our counter installers. Contact Kraus directly....they will advise you (your installer) regarding installation.

Jessica, Generally speaking, a top mount sink's flange will be finished in a manner that is intended to be exposed; it will not have a sharp edge, and will have a slight arch for support. An under mount's flange needs to be extremely flat to have a flush fitment to the surface of the counter top. Often, a sink company that has a "Dual" mount sink will have an arch with a flattened radius to have the solid surface fit correctly in under mount application, and have a smooth edge to accommodate the top mount application.

I looked at the specifications for the sink to find the diameter, then I chose a faucet and looked at specifications for faucet! I calculated the space for both and this gave me information I needed for placement of sink on counter top! If you don't have room from back to front including faucet, you can move faucet to either side of center of sink! Hope this helps!!!
