A plumber told me that 1.0 horsepower units are not recommended for undermount sinks. Is this true? I've already purchased the unit...

I had a second thought about the waste king - It was my fault but I thought you and everyone should be aware. The tightening nut at the top of the unit needs to be watched for loosening by itself, when it does, it leaks in the cabinet. Just keep it tight and it works great.

My drain was 1.25 and we had 1.5 drain so we had to buy a o ring kit that steps the inside if the 1.5 drain down to 1.25 you can get at any hardware store, it works great, i did have a problem with the drain that was included with the faucet though. the down spout has a threaded collar and it looks kinda cheaply done it kept wanting to crossthread on got it on straight and it leaked so i used some silicon to seal it up works great. This faucet looks great btw we love it.

Under the sink is the best as it is so close to the end use point. It is a surprisingly compact unit and with flex supply lines you can plumb it where it is easy to work on and then hang it on the in-side or in-back of the sink base. The mounting bracket is a french cleat type. You mount the bracket and the unit lifts on and off easily. If under sink is not an option then as close as possible would work.

Yes. I bought this for my undermount sink and it worked perfectly. My sink has a built in overflow though. Bought a second one for the guest bath too :)

Hi: If you are using a vessel sink, it is a good idea to use the mounting ring. It keeps the sink off the counter top, it is aesthetically pleasing and it helps to clean under the sink. The vessel sink sits on top of the mounting ring. As far as an overflow is concerned, you would use a drain with overflow only if your sink has an overflow. It depends entirely on the type of sink you are using. Usually, vessel sinks do not have an overflow, whereas under mount and drop in sinks do. So I suggest you check your sink. Hope this helps. I will add that this is a very good quality drain. I have two in my house. Thanks. Hi: If you are using a vessel sink, it is a good idea to use the mounting ring.

This sink is only for under mount installation. I will not recommend over counter installation.

This is the only thing that was different for this sink: I ordered with it, Inello Brushed Nickel Pop-up Drain Without Overflow for Vessel Sinks (that is important because there is no overflow in the sink) and Euro Modern Contemporary Bathroom Lavatory Vanity Vessel Sink Faucet, Brushed Nickel (that is also important to have a tall enough faucet because the sink is a lot higher and larger than anticipated. I believe I ordered a mounting ring as well but could not find that on amazon website and I would have purchased that all together. I already had the rest of the plumbing because I just replaced the old sink. Everything was standard and code for a regular sink. Hope this helps you.

The confined space of being under my sink was more of a hassel than the actual mounting. The instructions are fairly straight forward, and I think most people could install it without a problem. I wouldn't imagine you would need a plumber.

Mine is under mounted with granite counter tops. It is fantastic !! I think you can have it either under the counter or over, pretty sure it can be done both ways. It's a big sink and I can't tell you how many people make comments on it . Just get it, you don't regret it.I tried to attach a photo but can't for some reason.I'll send you the photo if you send me your email.

We had no issues mounting it. Depth did not seem to be an issue. But this was a new install as we moved the sink and ran new plumbing.

The bottom of the unit is 12.75 inches below the sink; I did not need to use an adapter. It is also about 15 inches in diameter. As it is 1/3rd hp, it is smaller than most. It works well for me. And is quiter than the unit it replaced.

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.

i really don't know.i was really pleased with the purchase. (ie price and service 0 i never opened the box. the undermount unit was installed with a granate countertop. i assume the installers had all that was needed for the project. if clips are an issue i suggest asking the seller or blanco.hope you are as satisfied with yours as i am with mine

No concerns about this fabulous sink!!!! I have put it in two kitchens and LOVE it. It is a very heavy gauge of stainless steel. If I ever do another kitchen I would definately put this sink in again. Just buy the sink and enjoy!!! I am a cook so I am constantly using this sink, love love it!!!!! Mary Ann. p.s. I am looking at the picture of my sink, and just want to be sure that you knowl that mine is a undermount sink.

I don't see why not...I'm a licensed plumber and purchased this for a vessel sink. You'll most likely want the version with the overflow though, since most under-mount sinks typically have an overflow hole. It wont affect the performance during normal usage, however if the sink filled to the overflow hole, it wouldn't work properly with this drain. But the simple answer to your question is most likely yes. They are all standard sized holes 1-3/4" diameter.

Mine is undermounted. However go to the Blanco website for more info on options or call the company. I love my one bowl sink.

This is not actually an undermount sink. It has crowned edges. It is misrepresented by the Rohl company. I had to send it back and buy a Kohler as an emergency replacement in time for installation.
