I want this installed as an under mount but my plumber says that is not possible because I am using tile instead of slab. Can that be done?

yes. ask your tile installer about it. it will need an edge to the tile to finish it, but the plumber doesn't have anything to do with that part. the sink will likely need extra support mounts to brace it up rather than glue only to the slab, but it is easy to do. i did the plumbing myself with a hacksaw and the pipes from home depot (i have never done it before and am handy but it is not my day job). it is like putting together a puzzle but easy to do. even the disposal part was easy after watching a video online.

The plumber is correct. It won't mount correctly because of the seams in the tile and you need a finished edge on the tile.

I am not sure but I did find this link that may be helpful. http://www.terrylove.com/forums/showthread.php?23567-undermount-sink-with-tile-countertop

I believe it can be mounted either way. We did an undermount when installing new granite.

Sorry I don't recall if I answered the first part. It is not an undermount sink.

Yes, this sink looks great installed as a "drop in" or top mount as well as under counter if desired. "dual-mount" means either application can be used.

I didn't actually install it. But mine is mounted under a granite slab counter & I have a commercial style faucet.

I wouldn't. The sink is with the counter top fabricator , but as I remember it is under mount only as there is no top lip.

Yes, I bought one awhile ago and had it under-mounted. It's perfect! Also, it's pretty deep so keep that in mind and measure accordingly before installing.

I'm not sure. Had a custodian install mine ... and it actually ended up not being a flush mount .... there was a pipe we didn't anticipate ...

We just installed this sink under our granite countertop. It is an undermount sink and should work the same way with Corian if you are getting a new countertop and they can cut it on site to mount the sink for you. It looks very nice as our bar sink or prep sink. If you have an existing countertop and are replacing a top mount sink, this probably won't work for you, I believe, but you can ask a countertop expert or a plumber. Hope that helps!

Hello - Yes, this sink is designed specifically for under-mount installations. This is where your granite, quartz, or solid surface covers the top of the sink. If you are installing laminate tops, you will need to search for a "drop-in" sink.

My sink is undermounted. I'm not sure that the top surface of the sink is finished nice enough for a surface mount. It's been several years since I mounted it. As a undermount it's a great sink, and as such I would recommend it.

Drop in, rim sits on top of counter, I suppose you could mount under solid counter top, Granite or Quartz type, by gluing to bottom of counter top leaving holes exposed for faucets.

FrankeUSA's drawing of the SL103BX (in Amazon's posted pics) says "topmount or undermount install". Anyone try installing UNDERmount? Looks like that would be possible, since in the photo, the top of sink is flat. (Even if top had some embossed ridges, those could be shimmed around.) The question of topmount or undermount is mostly a question of labor costs. The vendor does not want to disappoint the customer with extra install costs. Those who are DIY hobbyists, won't mind the extra time.

It doesn't matter as far as the product is concerned, but if you have existing plumbing & you had a top mount & now are going undermount, might have a height problem for water in "P" trap & disposal unit, as we did.

My husband mounted it on the wall as the tile was being mounted. It had to be glued in place. He then grouted around it. I don't know if it could be mounted on existing tile.

Yes it can. I just had this installed last week. I absolutely LOVE this sink. My granite company used an under mount strap as opposed to the mounting brackets that are suggested to be sold with it. I wound up having to return the brackets.

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