I then traced around the bathroom countertop sink template. I used a little tape to hold the template down while I traced.

I then drilled a couple of 1/4” holes so that I had a place to insert my jigsaw and begin cutting the countertop. I then cut out the hole in the countertop.

After cutting the hole in the countertop, I next temporarily put the bathroom countertop sink into the hole to see how it fit. I then removed it to assemble the faucet and drain assemblies. You don’t want to put the bathroom countertop sink in and then have to assemble the faucet assembly, unless of course you like to contort yourself.

Final installation Bathroom Countertop Sink Bowl into the Countertop

With this particular bathroom countertop sink bowl it was so heavy that all I did was apply a bead of plumbers putty underneath the lip of the bowl prior to placing the sink bowl in the sink. I did not use any other type of mounting mechanism. For lighter bathroom countertop sink bowls, there are mounting clips that can be used to securely snug the bowl to the countertop.

For a finishing touch I applied a white bead of silicon caulk around the edge of the bathroom countertop sink bowl to get a waterproof seal.

Finally I connected the faucet supply hoses to the supply lines that protruded out of the wall and into the vanity. I then turned the supply valves on and I was in business.
