Installing Boholmen sink

OK, I got a Boholmen sink in the sale section months ago -- great buy, since we wanted just that. It didn't come with any instructions or accessories and it wasn't in a box. Now the husband is installing it and thinks we need some kind of "clips" for it. He cut the hole in the countertop and it fits nicely. Does he need to use some kind of sealant? Where do we get clips and instructions? Can we have the plumber hook up the garbage disposal without the sink being fastened first?

Re: Installing Boholmen sink

Yep ... you're going to need clips. Ask in customer service if they have some; it shouldn't cost much.

Plumber's putty or silicone adhesive would take care of the sealing part. I would wait until the sink is fully secured before doing the plumbing ... a little movement could mean the difference between a good drain and a leaky drain.
