Does sink need to be cut into counter at all or just rest on counter?

The counter must be cut for the drain flange and plumbing. I cut a 4 x 6 inch rectangle, which worked to run the supply lines through as well.

The counter will need to be cut. The sink comes with a paper template that outlines the exact measurements.

It is designed to sit right on top of the counter. It comes with a template that has you cut a smaller square in the counter so the water lines and drain can be hooked up underneath.

The sink sits on the pedistal, the sink must be securely attached to the wall. A strong wall stud must be in the wall for the sink. You may use rubber spacers on the floor or use sealer on the floor. This installation is not for the novice.

Yes, it is placed on top of the vanity. You would only need a hole cut out for the the drain pipe. It's a beautiful sink! We love it.

My bathroom counter is a nice slab of granite, a hole is carefully measured and cut out for the drain. The sink sits on a thick rubber washer (comes with package). My counter was custom made for my wheel chair to slide up close. It's a special sink and the faucet is even more special. I'm glad I bought it.

We had this sink installed onto a polyurethane sealed butcher block. The sink sits on top of the countertop, with a hole drilled underneath for the drainpipe and water hoses. Our carpenter (we did not install this ourselves) used some type of clear caulk underneath the sink and around the bottom rim where it meets the countertop to hold it in place. The sink comes with instructions for drilling the holes.

I had a contractor install the sink (replaced existing vessel sink). He had no difficulty at all, but he did not require a cutting template. Sorry I could not be of any help. The sink (I actually installed two of them) looks great and fits the space extremely well.

Do Not Know, have never put mine in there I hand wash in sink, dry it and put it back together. I use it daily so it's always on my counter.

The sink is heavy enough to be secure just sitting atop the sink. We opted not to caulk because we feel that ascetically it was more pleasing than caulking, and given its weight it didn't seem necessary. It looks great and we have no fear that it will fall off, slip, slide, or otherwise detach itself from the sink.

No. The feet are level. It must be a defect. I would cut it if you could but only if you can put a rubber foot on it. Or it will scratch your sink. Bring it to your hardware store see if the have a rubber boot. Best of luck.

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.

No this is not a drop in.It sits on the top of the counter top. And it needs a 1 5/8 hole for the drain.Hope this helped.

The sink comes with a template for cutting. I don't remember what the exact measurements were, but I recommend going like 1/2" smaller than the template says. Our hole was a little too big for comfort.

Offset drains are better for undersink storage. There is no problem with drainage. Do not leave cast iron lids in sink for extended periods of time. May stain sink

It stays in the smaller side of the sink. If I need to use both sinks, it's small enough to put away.

There are two versions of the sink, a self-rimming version (995-0) and an undermount version (995-U-0). We purchased the self-rimming version, which mounts on top of the counter. For either one, I think the instructions have you install the faucet on the higher area in the upper left of sink picture. Holes need to be cut in the sink, not the countertop. Here is link for the install instructions from the Sterling website for the self-rimming version of the sink - http://www.sterlingplumbing.com/onlinecatalog/pdf/1084460_2.pdf. Here is a link for the spec sheet of the undercounter version (no install instructions on the Sterling website) - http://www.sterlingplumbing.com/onlinecatalog/pdf/1066436_4.pdf.

You will need a pop up drain but you will not need the mounting ring. The sink will sit on top of the counter you will need to drill a hole or make a cut out large enough for the pop up drain to fit.

We did not have a problem with our sink when we bought it a couple years ago; it's still going strong. Many say it's good to put the disposal on the large side because that's where a lot of people clean their dishes and the food ends up. We put ours on the small side, which worked out great since the small sink is not as deep, which leaves more room under the sink to fit the disposal.
