Is it necessary to use plumber's putty when seating into vessel sink?

I didn't use any plumbers putty since the drain comes with a rubber/silicone type seal for above and below the sink. I've had no leaks.

Washer goes on under assy. On top of nut underneith sink Not in the sink. You can use plumber putty in sink.

Not at all! If you're using a single hole application, the stone fabricator can predrill his hole, then center middle hole on sink during install. Fantastic sink, by the way!

Not to my knowledge, why would you need too? The gun is GREAT! The hole it makes is so small you can't hardly see it. I have cabinet installers that work for me and the pin nailers they buy are about $100.00 bucks. Those those guns use the very same pins I use and my holes DO NOT need putty to fill and hide holes but their guns leave a much bigger hole and it needs touch up or putty on "some" colors. Point being, buy a cheap gun it will cost you time, buy THIS gun and it will not. I recomend this product, I am VERY happy with my purchase.

Doubtful but it would really depend upon the depth of the vessel sink. Some vessel sinks are partially sunk into the countertop. This is a beautiful piece of sink hardware. Are you totally sure you want a vessel sink? look at Signature hardware for the shallow natural stone sinks that are hollowed out large river rocks etc. The trend toward vessel sinks is pretty much over as a design statement.

I don't believe that there are putty rings. You have to buy plumbers putty from a home improvement store

No. Two drains are provided, one for each side. One of the drains includes a deep strainer basket, and the other drain includes a drain plug. However, plumber's putty is not included. You'll need plumber's putty to seal each drain to the sink during installation.

Yes, it removed a plumbers putty ring around faucets on my granite vanity top. Great product.

No, you will still need the supply lines from the source and inline valves as well. The faucet is plumbed with incoming lines but will need supply lines to complete the installation. This is common and they are readily purchased at any local plumbing supply store. The sinks are very nice and just as advertised. We also put silicone around the base of the sink where they meet the countertop as an extra caution. That is personal perference.

I guess that would depend on the application... it is not a traditional thread sealant and it should not be used with a water supply line that is under pressure... pretty much just for drain lines. The most common use is between the sink and sink drain or garbage disposal... you make a rope of it, lay it around the top surface of a new or cleaned old sink, you then put the drain in, you install the washer and tightening nut from below the sink and tighten it slowly... allowing the putty to flatten out, seat and seal. Continue to tighten a little more until the putty stops settling.

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.

I belive it would work fine for that application. In my use of loctite, I found it to having too long of a drying time. So that being said, take care when installing the sink. Make sure it is not disturbed "Moved around" for at least 24 hours.

My home has always had a sand mound system and PVC pipes. Our water has acid in it and we do not treat our well water. The stuff has worked for us. We have had no problem but we do not put a lot of grease or bathroom/kitchen chemicals down the drain either.

You must have a splash guard of some sort. Otherwise, large items such as utensils, cups, hands, whatever, could fall into the mouth of the disposal. With the unit running, these (and the disposal itself) could suffer permanent injury or damage. Items may also fly out of the disposal and strike you. During normal operation, disposal water and food particles will splatter out the disposal's mouth, soiling your face, clothing, and the area surrounding your sink.

No. We used plumbers putty in the indentation underneath it to adhere it to the cabinet.

I purchased a separate flange because I needed black also. It was not necessary though as the flange was included with the disposal. Did not return it because there was a piece I can put in the sink that keeps things from going down the garbage disposal such as a hand full of berries, or marbles from a cut flower vase that was included with the flange I bought but did not need. I hope this helps.
